DIY Photo Magnetic Frames from Dollar Tree
🖼️
If you see that one piece of cat hair on my sleeve, no you don’t!
✨
These were really fun to make and even though I got the frames several years ago, I think I’m going to see if @dollartree has any left so I can make more.
🤍
This is such a sweet and affordable decoration for any fridge, how many would you put on yours? I might fill the fridge if I can find more of these!
🫶🏻
Also, let this serve as your reminder to get your photos printed!

It’s time to share some services I don’t offer as a photographer…
📷
When I first started my photography business, there were so many professionals and teachers who emphasized the need to niche down, but as a bright eyed and rebellious teenager, that sounded more like a challenge than good advice.
🫣
After starting my career with some big projects: shooting my first wedding at 15, doing the photography for multiple real estate firms and dental offices, and getting paid for spreads in magazines, including Inked Magazine, I’ve definitely niched down these last few years.
😆
Working with so many fun and wonderful families has won over my heart but I still find that I shoot so much variety when it comes to relationships and magical moments:
• couples with fur babies
• couples/families who are expecting
• newborns
• milestones
• cake smashes
• proposals
• elopements/micro weddings
• birthday parties/family reunions
• branding portraits
• graduation portraits
• birthday portraits
And for forever, I am grateful for every inquiry to document a special moment in your life.

I’m just gonna leave these here + let you all guess which cat’s birthday is Valentine’s Day and which cat is a Scorpio who hates everything I do 😂

Overcoming obstacles isn’t just about reaching the other side — it’s about discovering a version of yourself you never knew existed.
✨
I recently decided to open up a space in my apartment for studio sessions, but what I didn’t tell you was I faced several obstacles + moments of self-doubt to get there.
🫢
I had a VISION, I did my research, I debated my choices, I made my purchases + I was feeling so confident and excited… until the morning of this photoshoot.
🥲
Nothing felt like it was falling into place. The room had overly tinted windows and a very heavy table that was plugged in to the floor taking up so much space, my background was smaller than I thought it would be, and I was so nervous for my clients to arrive!
😖
But when they showed up, they admired the set up, they were eager to get started, + they trusted me fully to create sentimental memories!
🥹
And that is exactly what we did, filling the hour with music, hugs, compliments + jokes. Let this serve as a reminder: it’s not about where you are, but rather who you are with because happiness is HOMEMADE.

What is an obstacle you’ve conquered recently and how has it help shift your mindset? Share in the comments or send me a DM if you’d like!

One of my favorite things about living in California is the vast amount of landscape options to use as a backdrop for a portrait session.
🗺️
From the coast, to the mountains, the valleys, the desert, the city, the parks, and everything contained within those places - anywhere important to you + your story can be used to document beautiful memories.
🚕
If you were to ask my favorite, I would probably give you a different answer on different days because the truth is, I love them all for their own uniqueness!
✨
Locations, like people, have experiences + energies linked only to them and I think that’s lovely to think about. We really all are truly so special and I feel exceptionally lucky to experience all these energies.
🥰
What place is special to you? (City, park, beach, cafe, restaurant, sunset view, wherever comes to mind, etc.)

Merry Christmas from my fur babies + me! I said I wasn’t gonna post them but I got a handful that aren’t terrible and I love them simply for existing.
🎄
Swipe to the end to see Piper’s RBF that she definitely did not get from me. Zoom ripped through so much paper way too quickly and was caught stealing treats on set during Piper’s turn.
😅
Neither one of them understood the assignment but we tried and they got plenty of treats as a thank you.
💕
Books for 2025 are open, January is mostly full already.

A very simple one year birthday photoshoot at one of my favorite locations in Palos Verdes.
🌊
This location is beautiful, relatively private, and offers a large variety of backdrops in a small space BUT it is a steep hike down which means a steep hike back up.
🥾
When Karen + her husband told me she was down for a hike, I was so excited because this was a location I had on my own personal photographer wishlist for at least a year.
📷
However, I was not expecting her to bring her mother along, too! She hiked with us + she kept up just fine, taking breaks along the way to savor the view a few more times.
☀️
Never stop exploring, always take the scenic route, + make all the stops on the way to your final destination.

My clients often book with me because they want to freeze this chapter + capture the spirit of their family in a way that’s as fun as it is memorable.

As a family photographer specializing in vibrant + lively sessions, I strive to turn every moment into a cherished memory. Telling your unique story means being adaptable when things don’t seem to be “going as planned.”

Think of a session with me as an opportunity to see the world through your children’s eyes by letting them lead the shoot. We are going to run, play, stop to smell the flowers, pick up leaves, sticks, shells, + rocks.

Imagine the giggles, the playful moments, + the genuine smiles all beautifully preserved in stunning photographs. Let’s celebrate your one-of-a-kind family + create a gallery of images that you’ll treasure for years to come.

It is with a very heavy heart that I am sharing the passing of my beloved grandmother. This past year and a half of watching her battle lung cancer has, without a doubt, been the toughest and most emotional year for myself + our family.

This woman was the most selfless, kindest, strongest, funniest, smartest, adventurous soul to ever walk this earth. She chose her family everyday, through the easy times and the difficult times with grace, with ease, with nothing but love in her heart.
There is so much I could share about this rockstar of a woman, she lived a wonderful, cultured, and long life, yet, I will always feel she was taken from us too soon.

She was a fighter until her last breath, a true stubborn Taurus. She is already missed immensely, we all love her endlessly and will continue to live FOR her because who knows where or who I would be without this savior who blessed me with a home, instilled a strong work ethic, believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself, and provided everything I could have ever needed and wanted.

Nothing can prepare a heart for the loss of their maternal figure, no other pain compares to the mourning of my best friend. All I hope, is that she’s watching and I’m making her proud, showing her all the hard work was worth it and she did the absolute best she could with everything she put her heart into.

We love you so much grandma, our family, our friends, and everyone who had the pleasure of meeting you. You are the best thing that ever happened to my mother, my sister and I.
I feel you here with me, I’ve seen you in the butterflies, rainbows, and sun-flares. Thank you for stopping by, thank you for choosing us, thank you for everything.

Rest in peace, grandma. I am so grateful you are not in pain anymore. Say hi to all the furbabies and I know you don’t believe your soul is still here but it is, your energy is far too great to disappear but you don’t have to be strong anymore. It’s our turn to be strong for you.

People often don’t believe me when I tell them most of my work happens before and after our photoshoot.

As a photographer, I wear many hats within this business I’m so lucky to call mine and a lot of that work feels invisible because it usually leads to the final results of delivering + showcasing beautiful, documented memories.

Behind the pretty pictures I’m often sitting at my desk in sweatpants, with a giant glass of cold water, and listening to music while I:

• respond to client emails
• edit
• website creation/maintenance
• manage scheduling
• social media + other marketing
• accounting + quarterly taxes
• research (locations, permits, gear, weather, outfit inspiration, SEO, etc.)
• clean/organize gear/prep for shoots
• client phone calls
and so many other things!

On top of that, outside of my office I scout locations, shop for props, sit in traffic, pick up flowers, go to the post office, etc.

Running a business is a lot of work and a photographers “hourly fee” is not just for the hour of work you see us taking photos because it didn’t start nor did it end with the photoshoot. Photographer charge what they do in order to run their business and being out of budget to some does not mean we are overcharging for the experience and service we provide.

C + D are eagerly awaiting their baby boy and I can already tell K is going to be the absolute best big sister ever!
🫶🏻
We had so much fun celebrating baby boy’s arrival in this gem of a field that I actually found on Google Maps because I didn’t have a day to do any in-person scouting.
🫣
For those of you that really know me, know I have absolutely no sense of direction whatsoever; tell me to go right + I will confidently go left.
🤣
But the sun setting in the west is always my guide for outdoor sessions, so I trusted the glow of a setting sun, trusted the rain to make this field bloom, trusted my gut this was our spot, even though I didn’t see this field in person prior to the day of our shoot.

The only appropriate reaction when you’ve been surprised with cake!
🤯🎂
Little miss beautiful Mila has turned ONE + it is unreal how quickly this year has flown by.
🫧
It has been by far my busiest year ever as a photographer! I’ve met some pretty incredible people, I’ve captured many heartwarming milestones, I’ve redesigned my website, I’ve been blessed by getting to travel all over California for photoshoots, I’ve learned so much about photography, editing, and business.
⌨️
Seriously, it’s truly unbelievable I’ve created this dream life for myself: to be able to create, connect, learn, explore, feel freely, fuel my soul, + make money to support myself while doing it.
✨
There is so much unshared work from this past year, like, I literally haven’t posted any actual posts to my feed in over a year. I’m genuinely so freaking excited to share everything I’ve been holding back.

This is gonna sound kind of sad, but seeing a future for myself has always been really hard…

Most of my life, I’ve honestly just been trying to survive… to survive that moment, that day, that week, that month, that year + a lot of the time things just felt extremely dark.

It didn’t feel like it mattered what the steps were, as long as I walked them. Living in that blur makes it difficult to WANT good things for yourself, it makes your dreams feel like just… dreams + you are unworthy of ever obtaining them.

I am so beyond blessed that I have had the influence, encouragement, + difficult conversations to be where I am today. For every person who has stepped in front of my lens, trusted me with their story/truth, ever told me to never give up, that I AM worthy, + the only limit is my imagination: THANK YOU!

Little Rachel still lives inside of me + she is so incredibly grateful for each and everyone of you.

It’s so amazing what a sense of community + support can do for us. It’s ok to ask for help and lean on people until you’re strong enough to support yourself.

Oh, so very guilty over here.

My purr-fectly imperfect workspace. Always stocked with water, coffee, and my lazy but, oh so cute, furry co-worker.

Some days I wear work pants + others I wear sweatpants.

Either way, this is where I email, edit, plan, organize + deliver images, order prints, scroll instagram, listen to the same 25 songs I’ve been listening to since I was 16, watch Judge Judy + The Office re-runs, take cuddle breaks, doodle, + add countless items to my Amazon wish list.

I could never say “I just work here,” but I’m so grateful for that. ☺️

Everything is working out in my favor.

I looked at my instagram feed today and couldn't help but feel underwhelmed at the amount of content I've been sharing.
📷
I'm still photographing (literally almost every day) and while I try to be consistent on social media; I also quite often feel discouraged to share my work because I am at a loss of words to pair with my imagery.
✨
This is a big struggle for my business because people often slide into my DM's assuming I don't shoot anymore, but I am actually shooting more than ever before.
🤯
As I looked through my feed, I saw my growth, I saw my passion, and I couldn't help but remember why it is I started this little business of mine.
🥰
I wanted to create a safe place for my clients to simply be, to laugh, to love and to be loved, to see the light of their soul shining through in the images I capture.
🌟
Now, as a full-time photographer, I feel so deeply that I have done just that. I am realizing, my photographs speak for themselves and that is allowing me to be vulnerable with you, to be creative in the freedom of writing heartfelt posts, to inspire, to share my soul, and to also simply just be.
🤟🏻
Thank you to those who have stuck around to see what I create, thank you for your support whether I post once a day or once a month, + thank you for just being YOU.
💛
Also, a very warm welcome to my new followers. Our journey together on the gram is barely getting started, but I am grateful for you and all the possibilities of our future on this app together.

This will be my last week in Redlands! Not forever, but for now because...⁠⁠
⁠⁠✨
As many of you know, I have recently moved to Long Beach, CA! I've been met with some challenges along the way, but mostly the universe has blessed me with ample amounts of opportunity.⁠⁠
⁠⁠🤩
Opportunity of work, new experiences, rekindling friendships, different perspectives, reworking my routine, + GOING TO TEXAS.⁠⁠
⁠⁠🧳
This Friday I will be boarding the plane to attend an all inclusive 3-day photography workshop. I am beyond excited to learn, to grow, + to make some new friends!⁠⁠
⁠⁠🥰
My calendar is open August 11, the day after I return for lifestyle sessions including: newborn, family, couples, seniors, celebrations, + properties.

DID YOU GUESS RIGHT ON MY POLL YESTERDAY?⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Shooting at Laguna beach with A + H was exactly what I needed for my first beach session since moving to Long Beach, CA.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
They trusted me fully to pick our location, capture their must-have images, + give them a one-of-a-kind experience to begin this next chapter in their lives.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Life is finally starting to feel not so unknown since the move + time is slowing down, brining me opportunities to work creatively, to grow and learn at my own pace, as well as, remind myself to use my time more intentionally.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So, my word for the rest of the month is: intention. To use it with my words, actions, time, + relationships.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Is there any aspect of your life that could thrive with a little bit more intention?⁠⁠

SNEAK PEEK!⁠⁠
🙈⁠⁠
Yesterday, I had the privilege of working with yet another incredible local business owner: @hair_n_nails_by_mar!⁠⁠
😍⁠⁠
She recently renovated her beauty studio, which allows other stylists to have a place to do their craft in comfort + elegance in downtown Palm Springs. In other words, this boss babe is making BIG moves, has unbelievable talent, + is kind enough to open her space for other creatives!⁠⁠
✨⁠⁠
We love to see it: collaboration over competition!⁠⁠
🥰⁠⁠
It’s also no coincidence it’s #wellnesswednesday, this is your reminder to do something for your well-being today.⁠
💛⁠
What special activity are you going to make time for?⁠

👋🏻⁠⁠
Today's focus for me is realignment: with my subconscious mind which possesses all my solutions + strength, my goals (big + small), + finding a routine that allows me to flow with my highs + lows while still allowing me to feel content at the end of each day.⁠⁠
☮️⁠⁠
Life has been a little messy, and I know there is potential to fall but that only leads to the opportunity of getting back up again.⁠⁠
🤗⁠⁠
I'll leave you with an affirmation to chant to yourself today + in the comments you can tell me what focus you need to regain in the comments below!⁠⁠
🌙⁠⁠
"I know that the best is yet to come + that makes me even happier."⁠⁠

I NEED YOUR HELP!⁠⁠
😱⁠⁠
Recently, I asked the amazingly talented + creative @kileejohnson for a website review because I am a firm believer that things can always be better, we can change as we please, + change is to be embraced rather than feared.⁠⁠
✨⁠⁠
So, before I even begin to drag on and on about breaking limiting beliefs + self-help, your help is what I need today: what color(s) do you think of when you think of me?⁠⁠
💛⁠⁠
There is no wrong answer, I'm genuinely so curious + in the process of finishing the little details of my site which includes COLOR. So, chances are that if I agree with you that I'll be incorporating YOUR ideas.⁠⁠
