I can’t recall exactly when I picked up my first camera,
it seems it’s always been an extension of me. As a child, I have fond memories of the excitement and anticipation - taking in my rolls of film to be developed. It was like Christmas morning, eager to see what was captured. This passion for photography has been a close companion throughout this life journey. I still feel the same eager anticipation - after every session - excited to see what was captured.
So happy you’re here

family & adventures
While photographing and running the business are a huge part of my life, my even greater joy - my first and greatest calling - is raising our five children, along side my husband Joe.
We are a Jesus following, homeschooling family who love to travel the country seeking new adventures while creating lasting memories.
“STRESS-FREE AND ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED”
From planning the perfect location, and providing guidance on clothing choices, to the way I run a session that captures your family’s personalities, I am dedicated to making the process stress-free and enjoyable for everyone involved.
The best part of this photography journey has been the opportunity to meet and work with so many amazing families and individuals. If my work resonates with you, please reach out. I would love to get to know you and create beautiful and lasting memories for your family.

“We are completely in love with our family photos…”
Rachelle truly has a gift for seeing what makes something lovely and beautiful, the way God sees it, and then capturing it with her camera to share with the world. We are completely in love with our family photos and would highly recommend Rachelle to anyone looking for their special moments to be preserved with amazing photos to look back on!

I was born and raised in the interior of Alaska, and didn’t have indoor plumbing until I was 8 years old (we used an outhouse - yes even at -40 below.)

Being in the mountains and near the sea are my happy places. I don’t get a lot of that around Nebraska so I love every excuse to travel.
