Oh hey, I’m Rachel!

I’ve been chasing the magic of little moments ever since high school — back when I first picked up a film camera, developed my own photos, and proudly named a picture of a squashed soda cup Flat Soda (clearly, I peaked early in photo titles).

Since then, the camera has basically become an extension of my hand. I photographed everything I could in college, and after graduating, my husband lovingly shoved me into my dream job — “You should really do this,” he said. So I did. And just like that, Rachel Kessler Photography was born!

These days, I specialize in capturing those tiny, real-life details that bring memories rushing back — the crinkly-eyed laughs, tangled toddler curls, spontaneous hugs, windblown hair, and everything in between.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m wrangling my two amazing kiddos, hanging with my equally amazing hubby, or trying to keep up with our cat Ronnie and guinea pig Cooper Peanut Dejean Kessler (yes, full name only, please).

Let’s make some magic together — the kind you’ll want to frame, relive, and maybe even brag about a little.

"Rachel felt like the right one after the first time I reached out to her. She made me feel comfortable and listened to everything I had to say and helped me with her own recommendations on photos. Rachel is very personable and easy to talk to. We met up at a local coffee shop and discussed my timeline and what I wanted to see for photos of my wedding. The day of Rachel came in with a smile and eager to start snapping candids and great getting ready photos."
