Short Bio - Everybody who knows me knows that I delight in telling a good story and that is what draws me to wedding photography. I love the mix of fine art and photojournalism. I am blessed to be very intuitive and creative which makes photography and working with people a perfect fit for me. Designing wedding albums gives me the chance to beautifully illustrate the story of the wedding day. I started off working in all of the Milwaukee area hospitals doing newborn photography. When I tell people I am a wedding photographer they often ask me about bridezillas but I tell them that if I can make a women happy who has just had a baby, is exhausted, overwhelmed and emotional, I can handle anything the wedding day throws at me. I am currently focusing primarily on weddings but later this year I will be expanding that focus to include maternity, baby, and family photography so I can keep telling the stories of my clients. It seems weird to call them clients because they feel more like friends. I am a wife and mother of two great kids. When I'm not photographing I love to garden, go to Comedy Sportz and hang out with my family.

Short Bio: Hi, I'm Rachel, the R of R+C Photography. I'm a mom of 5 kids and I've always been passionate about documenting their lives.
My oldest two sons were officially diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in January of 2004–when they were 4 and 2, respectively–and it began to make sense why I could never get the studio settings of big chain photographers to work for them. We went for a long time without many really GOOD pictures of the boys, and as our family grew, I became more and more restless about this. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and learn photography! Once I had the skills to photograph my own sons in a way that they found comfortable, without harsh flashes or lots handling and posing, I wanted to share it with other families who faced the same challenges creating keepsakes of their family’s life.
Along the way, I’ve discovered I just love photographing everyone! So what started as a very focused journey in chronicling my own family’s story has become a passion and an artistic outlet.
Then, about a year ago, I met a fellow photographer, Crystal Pickering, and we formed R+C Photography. Shooting with a partner has been both a fun social outlet for me, and a great chance for each of us to push each other technically. We pride ourselves on our technical ability and creativity. We like to stay up-to-date with the latest trends, but we also study the history of photography and art, so that we can understand all of the good stuff. I think our friendship and personalities come out during each shoot, and clients are quickly at ease. In fact, some of our brides have literally become BFFs with us. In short--too late--working as friends and partners makes all the difference for us.
