I’m Rachel, a wife, a mother of three, and an award-winning Reno and Lake Tahoe photographer with over a decade of experience. For the last 11 years, I’ve been obsessed with turning fleeting moments into timeless art. Whether I’m documenting your "I do" at a Lake Tahoe estate or capturing the wild, beautiful chaos of your family in the high desert, my goal is to make you feel as incredible as you look.
While weddings and adventurous elopements are my heart, I’m just as passionate about maternity, family, and branding sessions that tell your unique story. I’m here to handle the posing, the lighting, and the details so you can just be present in the moment.
Are you ready to create something beautiful?
I'm Rachel.
Hello
And we will travel together and just be in love forever.

Unfortunately, our wedding was struck by 20mph winds and the worst smoke EVER from nearby fires. Not only did she endure the harsh summer winds, but she was able to capture the most beautiful moments of our ceremony through ash fall and smoke. I was terrified how our photos were going to look, but Rachel took her time to make sure our photos were as perfect as can be!
She was patient, kind, supportive, and her direction was easy to follow! :)
These moments only happen once, and I couldn’t recommend GOT Photography more. There was no one better to capture this one in a lifetime day for us!

I had been following Rachel for a while before my now-husband and I decided to eloped. I was super happy to find out that she was one of the preferred photographers for the company we hired to do our elopement. Rachel's talent is unmeasurable!!! She is the type of photographer that would climb rocks for you (literally, lol-- see pics below). She definitely exceeded our expectations. So go ahead and book with her!!! You will not regret it!

Words cannot describe how thankful my husband and I are for Rachel! She is so well priced, fantastic at her job, and so accommodating. We changed our wedding date so many times and the plans changed several times this year because of COVID-19 yet Rachel was there with us every step of the way! Rachel is efficient and knows exactly how to get the photos done that you want. Not only is she an amazing person, she is so passionate about her job which you can see in her level of work. My family was blown away by our engagement and wedding photos. Photographers of her caliber are charging three times her rate and may not be as accommodating as she is. If you are looking for a photographer, you will not be disappointed by her work. We cannot wait to do future photo shoots with her!

It's sessions like these that remind me why I do portrait photography. This incredible woman reached out to me for a portrait session to commemorate her husband who recently passed away. On top of including their precious dog Kaya, she wanted to include a quilt made from his clothes with his initials and a beautiful tattoo she had done in his honor. The truth is that life can be incredibly difficult.
