Rachel captured our family so naturally and with such ease. Rachel created our holiday card and we received one complement after another over it. Her turnaround time is incredible and she pays such attention to detail that proves she really knows what she is doing. We look forward to working with her in the future as our family continues to grow... C&C - Chicago, IL

I'm not a big photo person, but I have to say that I actually looked these over a few times (I never do this...Tracy can verify!). They are really, really amazing. You are a very gifted and creative photographer. These are really unique and amazing images. Thank you! Jonathan

"We've had two sessions with Rachel in the past year and are beyond grateful to have such amazing photographs. She clearly has a gift for capturing kids and family in the most candid, natural and artistic way which we loved. Rachel is also extremely easy to work with - always offering to help in decisions, editing, etc. You can tell she wants her clients to be truly happy with their photos. I always recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a photographer!"J.Z.Chicago, IL

Working with Rachel was an absolute pleasure. She did an amazing job with our belly photos and then beautiful shots of our son when he was born. She was very good with our son and we felt very safe letting her handle him as she has children of her own. She is professional and relaxed which made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She offers an array of choices when ordering the photos and does not require any type of commitment on future orders etc. I would recommend Rachel to anyone who is looking to have professional photos taken. We will definitely use her again in the future. J & TChicago, IL

"Rachel was absolutely wonderful to work with. She took the most beautiful pictures of my son and captured his personality in each shot. She also helped us design and print a gorgeous holiday card. She was easy to work with and her communication and follow up time were excellent. I can't wait to work with her again and would recommend her to anyone."lDana, Chicago, IL

I have never done "professional" pictures before of my children. After bumping into my girlfriend and seeing her family pictures taken by Rachel, I couldn't wait to call her. She was very flexible, great with the kids, and had good suggestions for location shots. We had a beautiful fall day and the kids were happy to be with her. The picture that captured our hearts was our children hugging in the leaves. It was our holiday card and people actually did a double take thinking it was a hallmark card. The picture warms my heart every time I look at it. She captured it! Thanks Rachel. Erica, Chicago, IL

Rachel has a creative vision and a great temperament for working with kids. Her photos exceeded all of our expectations and we were thrilled with her work! We look forward to Rachel taking photos for our family in the future. L & G, Deerfield, IL

"Where do I begin? I cannot say enough great things about our experience with you. From the second you showed up at our home for our family photo session, to the second I placed our final order you, have been nothing but helpful, accomodating and very easy to work with. You clearly got the most out of my four children, husband and even Osgood, our family dog. Having so many great prints to choose from was a very overwhelming task at times. I must thank you again for all of your help, understanding and patience in the decision making process. I will gladly recommend you to everyone I know. I look forward to seeing you again; how about First Holy Communion, 2011?!? :) " Michelle E. - Michigan

Rachel had a magical touch and produced captivating photos with an unbelievable turn-around. She was able to entertain my daughter while capturing shots and poses that were beyond adorable. Rachel helped create a special set of memories that we will always enjoy. Her studio was beyond comfortable, her equipment was state-of-the-art, she had a relaxed style and we loved our time with her. My daughter and I can’t wait to return for more.MelissaChicago

"Rachel made this whole experience so easy for my husband and I! She had us both very comfortable in front of the camera and I am so impressed with her talent as evident in the beautiful pictures. We are so glad she was able to capture this exciting time for us!"- M & B, Chicago

"The pictures I have of my children that Rachel took are my favorites...she was able to capture who they were, exactly at that moment, and that makes them priceless. Without making things staged or posed, she really got my children and they loved being photographed by her."- S.B., Deerfield, IL

Rachel captured the very essence of my 8 month old daughter through her classic, yet simple style of photography. Her patience and skill to engage my daughter resulted in the most endearing portraits. They are truly a wonderful reminder of my baby's personality and perfection at that moment in time.- Dana, Chicago

Rachel did an outstanding job photographing our kids. Our session with her was wonderful. The kids were comfortable and were not even aware that someone was taking their picture. Rachel took amazing shots that captured my kids true personality and as a result I have precious pictures that I love.- R.R., Deerfield, IL

Rachel is the best child and family photographer we have ever worked with! She has taken newborn photographs for both of our daughters and we have had many (probably more than 5!) family portrait sessions with her. Unfortunately we moved from Chicago. Rachel is irreplaceable! Being a mom herself, she is incredibly skilled at relating to children of all ages. I was amazed that every time we brought my daughter for another session she was able to relate to babies, toddlers, and even defiant preschoolers. Further, my husband actually doesn’t mind (even looks forward to) going to photo sessions with Rachel! She makes it so quick, easy, and not stressful. And finally, she is of course a talented artist and creates beautiful images! We make sure to book a session with Rachel every time we are in Chicago.

Rachel has a true gift. Our family has scheduled newborn, mini sessions, and family sessions with Rachel. Her kindness, passion for her craft, professionalism, skill, and intelligence is apparent in every single photograph she takes. My family and I fall in love with every single photograph that comes from her studio. I cannot recommend her enough. Rachel came highly recommended for our newborn shoot. We have continued booking her services for the last four years. She is the only photographer our family has used for family photos/holiday pictures/outdoor -nature pictures.
