Rachel McGrath Photographer

Still obsessed with these branding images from a few months ago 😍

Man imagine living one of those places that is golden hour for like half the day I would have such an overshooting problem

I consider it a feat we did not get this dress absolutely trashed with this much mud and slippery ground around

I can't believe I've only shared one image from this session??? IG is not my strength lately -- been too on my crochet game when I'm not behind the camera ahahah

I still have room for some fun creative sessions this month! I'd love to adventure to some outdoor locations or even play with fun lighting inside 👀

Cherry blossoms are my faveee I'm so sad they don't stay for longer but thank you to everyone who came to play in them with me!!

Cherry blossoms are starting to open in Dartmouth so I’m opening up some spots next weekend to play in them 🌸🌸

Would love to see you there!

Hand warmers are a necessity in my bag for winter shoots so you can totally share them if you’re willing to brave the cold for a session 👀

Alberta prints are live! Check out a collection of images from our trip through Banff, Canmore, Jasper & Drumheller and grab some new wall art for you or a friend or family!

Darkroom

My feed style is going out the window so I’m gonna post these cause I wanna but HEY got some new photos last month and we look cute

also we’re booking for 2024 hint hint and still have some 2023 dates open PLUSSS we’re hosting a wedding workshop this spring if you’re interested in getting into the industry and want a portfolio push and a fun networking event to brag about 👏🏻 lots of stuff in the works!

7 degrees and daylight savings???? Goodbye seasonal depression

MTL was cool (literally bc winter) ✨

Spent more time out in cold weather today than I may have all winter thus far 😅 spending the rest of the week in MTL before coming back to a busy March 🫶🏻

Any must sees we should explore?

Maaaaan I freaking love playing with light ✨

I sometimes forget how much I enjoy working in a studio! Being in a controlled environment where you can really pick and choose what you want when it comes to a lighting style is so much fun. 🤩

actually stoked for everyone to see how pretty my new site looks — tbh might launch tomorrow 🤠

The real waterfall season is not coming fast enough

HEY! It’s been a minute since an intro. I’m Rachel! I’m a creative portrait and commercial photographer here in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I’m gonna list 10 fun facts about me because I’m in the process of a brand re-design and have already thought of some for my website. Here goes:

1. I drink enough coffee/redbull/caffeine in general to definitely alarm my mother if she knew

2. I have two cats named Cappuccino and Biscotti (there is a theme here)

3. My hair has been blue for almost 9 years!

4. I try to travel at least once a year because I find it keeps me inspired to keep creating and getting out of my comfort zone

5. When I get home from visiting a new place I get a tattoo of their national/provincial/state flower to rid me of some of the sadness of returning to normal life

6. Biiiig love for thrifting and will 10/10 spend too long if you let me into a secondhand store

7. I would probably eat sushi for every meal if mercury poisoning (and bank accounts) didn't exist

8. I have ADHD which means I also have 47 unfinished projects and hobbies on the go at all times

9. I love love love space and photographing astro but am also massively afraid of the dark

10. I'm a huge fan of the barter system! If there is a service that I would be happy to pay for I would also be happy to trade a session for it *hint hint*

Anyway. Glad you’re here.

Would love to photograph you or your fuzzy family members later this month 👀

Mood-boarded a whole trip in the Rockies then immediately went and re-edited some Iceland stuff ✈️ the travel bug is real

Might just stay obsessed with these 😌

Soft spot for frozen waterfalls tbh

We love an on a whim shoot that just so happens to work out real well

More moody shoots this year 🤌🏻
