welcome to the blog!

This is the place I get to showcase all of my beautiful clients and the love they put into their sessions or weddings. I also love sharing tips and tricks on wedding photography planning, ideas to make your session fun, easy, and organized, as well as personal stories. Find the category you're looking for, or browse for hours! There's plenty to keep you entertained.

I know it’s early in the day, but pop the prosecco! I’m ready to celebrate! Today is an exciting day because it’s my photography website launch day!! Sometimes you just need a little refresh, a smidge of an update, and that’s what I’ve done to Rachel E.H. Photography’s home on the interwebs! To kick off […]

One of the reasons at the top of my list for why I love photography is it provides opportunities for trips down memory lane. Even as the photographer, going to a location where I’ve shot before offers the chance for me to reminisce on past shoots & realize how far I’ve come in such a […]

With today’s blog post I can note two items on the list of reasons why I love photography: 1. I get to photograph people from all kinds of businesses. Sometimes we’re super profesh in suits & blazers and sometimes we’re spunky in yoga gear with a fitness instructor! 2. I get to learn what my clients are passionate […]

I’m so excited to finally debut a new blog style I’ve been working on & to feature fellow entrepreneur Bryana King of Studeo 23! I have so much to say whenever anyone asks me about my business, so I figured the people I take headshots for would also have a lot to say about their businesses. […]

Y’all, it’s tough to find a good hair stylist in the D.C. area! It baffles the mind. Think about it. People from all over the world come here to live, work, play, pro-create, govern, be diplomatic. You would think you could find plenty of good hair stylists! But in my eleven years living in Arlington & […]

Being part of a group of motivated business people who are happy to network & look out for your business with the same intensity as they garner business for themselves is such a wonderful opportunity. One such business venture my local chapter of BNI recently put together was an event for northern VA Realtor headshots […]

I’m happy to be getting back into the swing of things with blogging! I took a little hiatus through the holidays and into the New Year to rest and gear up for all that’s in store for 2017. I have some pretty exciting & fun things on the horizon! First up I’m sharing Peter’s headshots […]

I love working with clients who have a vision! And Eilene had a vision for her Washington, D.C. Union Station headshots session. She was looking for clean, modern, professional, yet fun, photos to use on her new website and blog, and I think we delivered just that!

So, Old Town Alexandria headshots might be my new favorite thing. There’s something about walking along the cobblestone sidewalks in such a historic town that’s managed to stay current at the same time. History is mixed with modern day cool in the form of hip restaurants, unique boutiques, & fashionable passersby. During this most recent […]

I usually start out my blog posts describing how & when I met my client and how I got to know them through the course of working with them to plan their photo shoot. So, I’m going to start this post about a recent Annapolis headshots session in a similar way: I met Steve a little over 29 […]
