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!
