Hi, I'm Rachel. I'm a mom of 5 kids and I am passionate about documenting their lives.

My oldest two sons were officially diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in January of 2004--when they were 4 and 2, respectively--and it began to make sense why I could never get the studio settings of big chain photographers to work for them. We went for a long time without many really GOOD pictures of the boys, and as our family grew, I became more and more restless about this. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and learn photography! Once I had the skills to photograph my own sons in a way that they found comfortable, without harsh flashes or lots handling and posing, I wanted to share it with other families who faced the same challenges creating keepsakes of their family's life.

Along the way, I've discovered I just love photographing everyone! So what started as a very focused journey in chronicling my own family's story has become a passion and an artistic outlet.

If you think I am the right fit for your family, wedding, or child's photography, contact me at rachelrenee1@gmail.com

A Day at the Beach

Ahh, the lapping of the waves. The gorgeous colors. The salt air. The clouds of gnats. The strong smells. You know what beach I mean now, right? The Great Salt Lake! It is such a gorgeous location, but there are a few issues you have to brave if you shoot there.

The gnats were thick. As in, when the gulls would fly alone the shoreline, the gnats looked like clouds as they flew out of the way. (We stayed away from that area.) But Ashley was so brave and awesome and well, I think the amazing pictures were absolutely worth it. There are not many locations quite like this in Utah.
