Hi, I’m Rachael!

I've been a lot of things in my 37 years... photographer, speaker, educator, business coach, writer, and bio/foster/adoptive mom. I’ve found a way to juggle all these roles, and I want to help you find that balance too.

I know the challenges you face. I know the pressure you feel. And I also know how much potential you truly have.

I'm passionate about helping photographers achieve their full potential while juggling the demands of work and family.

You CAN be a thriving photographer and live a balanced, fulfilling life. Let’s get there together!

I'm ready!
