Memories by Rachelle Photography

I just got the preview pics from my newborn photo shoot and they are so adorable! I can’t believe how good her eye is for figuring out what will look good, and making it happen. I have nothing bad to say about her or her business.
More specifically: I contacted her before I gave birth, so I didn’t know exactly when I’d need her. She was very accommodating about my feelings just before and after the birth, making sure not to bug me too soon so I had time with my newborn before having to think about photography. After we did get back in contact, it was very easy to schedule a good time for her to do the shoot. Her studio was very comfortable, and as was said in another review the heater and white noise machine calmed my newborn down perfectly. She organized the session well, having in mind what order she wanted to do the poses, but was perfectly willing to reorder when my newborn didn’t seem to want to fall asleep right away. So she’s organized but flexible, which is crucial when working with kids. And I felt absolutely comfortable with her posing my daughter. She knew how to safely pose a newborn, and didn’t do anything that made me at all nervous about her safety. She was very patient in arranging my daughter’s hands and such, even when she sometimes needed to try repeatedly to get all the aspects of the picture right. As you may know, babies are not very accommodating!
So to sum up, she’s great with newborns, very understanding of new moms and their challenges, and a lot of fun to work with. And the end results are adorable. I am planning on hiring her to do more work, in fact. I have a whole family shoot in mind, and I think she’d be great.

Rachelle was great to work with. She is patient, calm and professional, especially when working with my 2 week old. She reached out ahead of time with her thoughts about the session and later sent pictures about her visions. I really liked that.
She had everything set up and ready to go when we got there. The house was warm so when we undressed my newborn he wouldn’t get cold. She also had white noise so he would be comfortable. The props were great and the transition between shots was smooth and seamless.
The turn around for getting pictures back was quick as well, even within the holiday time! I got a few sneak peeks the same day as our session.
I highly recommend Rachelle!

Rachelle personalizes her sessions after she interviews you. She works real well with kids. From holiday pictures, head shots to boudoir shots, she can do it. I have been working with her for couple of years and always pleased with the result.

Super positive experience with this photographer. Very professional! Head shots were done for my children and she walked is through the process and gave us a great final product! Highly recommended.

I loved all the ideas and suggestions Rachelle gave us to make our picture photo shoot a fun event.
