I'm so glad you're here, welcome!
I am a natural light photographer with a photography style that is relaxed, filled with fun, and an all around joyful experience for everyone involved. I strive to make my clients NOT feel awkward or uncomfortable in front of my camera.
I specialize in portrait photography- focusing on families, maternity, couples, and individuals. I love golden hour light, authentic emotion, playful images (and the "everyone look at me" images) and for people to be themselves all while letting their true happiness shine through.
Time is so precious! I hope you become inspired to start the process of telling your own story through my eyes.
"Rakel is a gifted photographer and a fun loving person. She values family and looks to capture the natural love shown between family members. Rakel comes with her own ideas for a shoot but also provides options and takes suggestions as well. She balances guiding the shoot with letting the subject work the camera. Professional and prepared, I look forward to Rakel documenting my family as it grows and changes through the years."

"Rakel is incredibly passionate about photography. She has an eye for detail, is creative and imaginative, and is able to capture the aesthetic you are aiming for. She is patient with her photo subjects and is especially talented at working with young children. The photos she took of my daughter and I exceeded all my expectations. She is a true artist who puts forth a lot of time and effort into creating a beautiful product. I highly recommend her for your family photography. All the photos framed in my home are shot by Rakel!"

"Rakel is AMAZING! Not only is she extremely creative and professional, she genuinely strived to capture the best images possible. I appreciate her passion and her pride in her work. I have worked with other photographers before and Rakel is the best overall thus far! I will only have her as my family photographer going forward"
