About

Hey there! 

My name is Rachel. I'm a wife, mom, photographer, dog-lover, and nature enthusiast. My journey with photography began over 12 years ago when I was given a hand-me-down camera while studying to become a teacher. When I finally graduated, my business was already flourishing, and I decided to pivot my plans and pursue a career as a photographer.

Before long, I was bringing my camera along with me on every hike, canoe ride, and adventure that I could find, and my brand evolved to bring together my two passions- the outdoors and people. I want every image I take to evoke a feeling within you- whether it’s the calm and serene feeling from being immersed in nature, or the joy and laughter felt throughout your wedding day.

I love having diversity in the type of work I create, which is why I’m happy to capture weddings, couples, families, pets, and commercial + brand work. I believe that love is love, and joyfully document any and all LGBTQIA2S+ weddings. All are loved and included and welcomed here.

If my images resonate with you, and you would like to talk more about making your vision come to life, email me at info@rachelbarkman.com and we can grab a coffee and chat!

With the tulips and daffodils sprouting up, I’m thinking back to this day spent with @jessicarsipos and @ninafarrauto at @chilliwacktulipfest 🌷
Women of all colours. Women of every size. Women of all ages. Women of all abilities. We hear you. We see you. These spaces are for you too. #representationmatters #diversityintheoutdoors
Today I turn 30. It feels incredibly surreal. Something about leaving my 20s feels so final. I don’t mind getting older, but adding a 3 in front of my age sounds so.... adult. And even though I’ve had a mortgage for 7 years, been married
Spot the beautiful @ninafarrauto in the wild. My dear friend and muse.
A few hours before this shoot, it was pouring. This lovely family hit the jackpot with weather tonight!
Wedding season might be a bust this year, but I’m staying busy with portrait sessions of all types! Family, couples, pets- you name it! I’ve been photographing this particular family for a few years and can’t get over how quickly th
I will always be eager to photograph sessions with dogs. When @terracoffey asked for a shoot with her sweet pup, Moxie, I couldn’t have been more stoked!
I can’t wait to get back behind the camera in June. I’m so encouraged by all the sessions you are booking with me 🧑 So many family and couples sessions to look forward to! Thanks for supporting my small business πŸ₯°
