It makes be so happy when families decide to update their photos whether it’s regularly or after many years. The joy of being able to capture a moment in time that long after we’ve grown or gone we have that small segment in time frozen.
Not a day goes by when I don’t think about the last moments I had with my Dad who passed away earlier this year. That last conversation, the last lunch I cooked, the last hug, the last I love you & the last photo.
Don’t wait until “the right time”. Life will always be busy. Let’s chat about capturing your now so you can look back with a full cup knowing you have those special moment in time with your loved one’s.
PM me to chat.

Another passion (a work in progress) is sports images. My kids and their passions which in our house is mostly rugby and an easy way for me to get a photo of them 😆.
It doesn’t matter how you do it, having a record of those special moments helps keep those memories alive.
If you want family photos, action shots, profile or other let’s chat.

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.

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 😉

Good things take time!
