TWIN CIties lifestyle-inspired branding photo + VIDEO for creative business owners, boutique brands, & cozy families

Whether you launched your business last week or last decade, you've built a brand with a story to tell! Only...telling that story takes up a WHOLE lot more time and energy than you ever thought it would. From strategically planning your product photography, to finding unique ways to showcase your space, to trying to come up with new ways to get your face on your social media feed, keeping an effective brand photography strategy alive isn't easy.
What if you could partner with a trusted collaborator to get the images you need in a fraction of the time?
Well, have I got great news for you...
A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I really do love getting along with everyone, it must be the Enneagram 9 side of me. With my down-to-earth charm and my ability to make everyone feel comfortable, I provide an intentional space for you to just be...you.
This isn't your passport photo, I want to document how you interact with your team or products and how your own creative pursuit lights you up.
Environmentally mindful - both in aesthetic and approach, I want to leave this world better than before. With a design background, my attention to detail is on point. I'll make sure the handle of your coffee cup is turned just right, your fly away hair is smooth and that dreamy light is perfectly positioned to show off your smile.
Did you know I was an
interior designer?
for busy business owners
from the consultation call to the final image delivery, I am with you every step. We'll be collaborating on ideas, sharing inspiration boards and getting creative on the spot.
for exuberant families
If you and your fam are complete home bodies, we'll be best friends. In home sessions are my specialty and you'll love that you won't have to pack up the car (and kids!) and leave your abode.
"I have used Rachel's service multiple times for interior photography, business headshots and lifestyle images, and am continuously blown away by her talent! She's very easy to work with, always flexible, and professional. I'm excited to endorse her photography for other areas of our business and to others in the Minneapolis area."

I’ve been thinking about offering a small round of branding mini sessions this spring — intentional, simple, and designed to create versatile content without a full-day commitment.
Before I plan anything, I’d love to know:
• Would you be interested in a mini branding session?
• What type of location feels most aligned? I have a few in mind—aesthetically beautiful with lots of furniture options but about 20 min outside Twin Cities or would something more local whether studio or home setting work better?
• What days/times tend to work best for you? Likely would be in the month of April or May.
I’m imagining something thoughtful and streamlined — not rushed, not overly styled — just enough space to create content that can stretch across seasons.
Comment below or send me a message if you’d want details. I’ll only move forward if there’s genuine interest.

Ever wondered what it’s like to juggle a camera, a casual vibe, and a flock of feathery friends? 🐔✨ I had the pleasure of hanging out with an amazing past client and her delightful chickens in her urban backyard coop! Who knew city life could be so... egg-citing? 😉
Capturing candid moments between my lovely client and her clucking companions was a reminder that you don’t always have to escape to the countryside to find a slice of nature. Sometimes, all you need is a coop and a camera! Next up will be once these chicks start producing eggs!
