At Photography by Rachel, I believe that every moment has a story waiting to be told.

Capturing the beauty in the everyday and the extraordinary is my passion.

I have over 12 years of experience, specialising in business portfolios, Family photos and the occasional Weddings.
Whatever the occasion the goal is always to create timeless images that you’ll treasure forever. Each shoot is personalised to reflect your unique personality and style, ensuring that every image is as special as the moment it captures.

Over the past 10 years I have provided workshops for kids, teaching photography from their camera, iPhone, and iPad. Seeing the world through children's eyes is something magical.
I offer workshops to both adults and kids.

Take a look at my website and portfolio to see how I can bring your stories to life through the lens.
If you're ready to start your journey or a repeat customer and would like a refresh, I'd love to catch up.

Life has been a little crazy lately and while I’ve taken a small step back from photos over these cooler busy months I’m looking forward to getting back into capturing you and your family over the months ahead.

If your walls desperately need updating let’s talk.
Message me privately or email [email protected] and we can discuss getting those updated photos.
As I’ve recently been reminded life and loved ones are precious and having photos & time together is as special as it gets ❤️

Weren’t we lucky over the weekend to witness the incredible Aurora.
It’s been a dream of mine to see the Northern lights. I’ll get there but this will do for now ♥️💙💜♥️❤️🫶

Watching this family grow over the years has been a privilege.
If your looking to capture the years, your moments or just a short piece of time let’s talk ❤️

Thanks Chadwick family for allowing me to capture your growing family and be apart of your “circus” … ❤️

What a year!
I’m so grateful for all of you. Being a part of your special moments, your highs and lows and making memories this past year has been priceless.
We never know what’s ahead and I’ve seen first hand how important having photos with loved ones while you can is. Don’t take for granted tomorrow. Each day is a gift and capturing you is a privilege I can only begin to tell you.
In years to come photos will be some of the most important lasting memories you’ll have of those around you and your loved ones.

Here’s just a glimpse of the past 12 or so months.

Thank you for your support. I look forward to making more memories in 2024.

Have a safe and happy holidays.
Merry Christmas 🎄❤️

Patience is key and it sure paid of with Mr Beckett… finally getting a smile was worth the wait.
You can’t rush these things 😉

A little bit of lately.

Spending time with families, in their world, doing their thing … there’s nothing better.
Thank you having me in your home or business and allowing me to freeze those special moments in time.

I love what I do. I recently took some time out for myself and reflected on where I’m heading and confronting what I truly feel passionate about.
Over the coming weeks I will share my new focus, something I’m excited about.

For now I’ll leave you with this.

On a recent trip to Noumea I was reminded of what’s important.

“Nothing is always perfect or smooth sailing but that’s what helps us grow, to know what we do and don’t want.
Don’t be afraid to change course, to try something new or go back to what feels right”. Life is too short not to.

Getting everyone together is the hard part… I will make your session easy and relaxed and we’ll find a special spot.
The holidays are fast approaching why not get everyone together and make some fresh new memories 🫶

I love what I do. Being able to capture those moments that you can see for many years to come is a privilege.

I have over 10 years of experience working with families on portraits and wedding, businesses that need their websites and portfolios updated and those one off jobs that have seen me photographing pets, products and special events.

If you're after a photographer who won't break the budget but can also offer you great photos lets talk.

I just love getting out and about and seeing your place.
Some of you have the most tranquil spots, I can see myself revisiting with other clients.

This family I’ve known a while so catching up with them to see what they do was pretty cool.
Thanks Hayward family - Premier Cattle
