Rachel Perrella Photography

I loved working with Rachel! She heard the reasons why we wanted photos in the first place and helped our vision come to life. She also helped this momma out and made lots of suggestions for blankets, clothes, and "poses". But not traditional posing because that wasn't the style we wanted at all. Loved all our pictures, it's going to be hard to choose which ones to print!

Rachel held a session with my daughter for her senior photos. She was professional, polite, and reassuring. She wanted the photos to capture my daughter’s personality, which was much appreciated! 10/10!

I got my senior photos taken by Rachel and it was truly an amazing experience! She was super friendly and gave guidance with also allowing me to show my personality in the photos. I felt very comfortable and the photos themselves were everything I was hoping for. If you're looking for a senior photographer, or any photographer in general, Rachel is the best!

You guys, I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve been in love with Rachel’s work (via Pinterest originally) for YEARS. But somehow working with her exceeded all my expectations. I was a little disappointed the weather wasn’t sunny like I was secretly hoping, but the pictures turned out to have this magical, haunting, storybook quality. Rachel has this unique ability to capture so much heart in her photos. The movement, the grain, the laughter… it all works harmoniously together to create images we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Like, I’m staring at a picture of my husband and daughter giggling together, knowing that it’ll be shown at her wedding one day. It was like I was transported to that future moment, tearfully remembering this moment, you know? I also want to acknowledge that we are a neurodiverse family. I communicated our needs and limitations to Rachel before our session, and she could not have been more accommodating. And not just accommodating, but creative and fun and patient and imaginative. She gave us prompts that made our kids laugh so much, and I can just see how genuinely happy they are. It never felt forced, which took the worry/pressure off me as a mama. Thank you, Rachel, for putting your art out into this hard, messy world and making it that much more beautiful. We are deeply grateful for the privilege of working with you.

Long overdue 5 +++ review for the amazing Rachel! We are so grateful to have had Rachel recommended to us. She has taken family photos for us for several years now. We were nervous initially, felt a bit uncomfortable with the concept of professional family photos. Rachel totally understood and has always made it so easy. All of our experiences have been so adventurous and enjoyable. Our kiddo is excited and looks forward to the fun that comes with family photos. Not only that, her talent is incredible. Every time we get our photos I tell my partner “these are my favorite photos EVER!” They are the gift of a lifetime. It’s been so special to have someone we feel bonded and comfortable with take our photos over the years. It’s a really cool progression. Lastly, Rachel is a very special and kind human. Someone that helps you feel authentic in your own skin, because she is authentic in hers.

Rachel is so kind and easy to work with! She is organized, super quick to respond and I was blown away by her turn around time for getting our gallery to us. She was so understanding with my wild children and made our entire photo experience laidback and fun. She even brought a fun camera for the kids to take photos with at the end of our session, which was so thoughtful and adorable to see their views. Would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone!

I had a great senior photo session with Rachel! She made me feel comfortable and at ease while taking my pictures, and I absolutely love the results! I enjoyed traveling to a new location and that I had the opportunity to change outfits while taking pictures in different settings. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Rachel enough! I found her online after searching for a photographer in the area for my daughter’s senior photos, and I immediately fell in love with her work! My daughter and i knew after looking through her social media and website that we had to hire her. Rachel is very communicative and clearly very passionate about her work. From the start she takes time to grt to know you, and takes into account what you want from the shoot. She also gives great insight and ideas as well. She did a great job at making my daughter feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and gave her great tips on posing. She scouted out the potential locations beforehand and gave us feedback and plenty of options. I will 100% be hiring her again for any future photography needs. Her work is beautiful, she is a joy to work with and we could not be happier with our photos.

Rachel as a person and photographer is well beyond 5/5 stars! She has such a wonderful personality and it really makes your photoshoot feel natural. It felt like my longtime friend was capturing priceless moments with my loved ones. I was also impressed by how efficient she is. She was great at directing us at times as well as letting us “just be”. I without a doubt recommend her. I will absolutely be booking with her in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rachel as our wedding photographer, and I cannot express enough how extraordinary she made our special day. From the moment we first met, it was clear that she was not just a photographer, but a true artist who genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our love story. On our wedding day, Rachel arrived with a warm smile and an infectious enthusiasm that instantly put us at ease. Her ability to blend in seamlessly with our guests while still capturing candid moments was truly impressive. She had a remarkable talent for finding the perfect angles and lighting, ensuring that every shot was nothing short of breathtaking. What really stood out was her creativity and attention to detail. She took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and then went above and beyond to bring that vision to life. Whether it was the intimate moments shared during the ceremony or the joyous celebrations at the reception, Rachel captured every emotion beautifully. Each photograph tells a story, and we are so grateful to have such vivid memories of our day. Additionally, her professionalism and organization made the entire process seamless. She provided us with helpful guidance on poses and locations, and her calming presence helped keep us on schedule without feeling rushed. It was evident that she was experienced and passionate about her work, which made us feel confident that we were in great hands. When we received the final images, we were blown away.

We now have a stunning collection of photographs that we will cherish for a lifetime. In summary, Rachel is an incredibly talented photographer who has a unique gift for capturing the magic of special moments.
