I'm Rachel your regular monthly teacher! I live in the good old heart of Indianapolis with my husband, Nick and our little trio of children, Brynn, Nicholas and Josie. I'm always cold, nearly always barefoot, passionate about newborn safety, oversized t-shirts and helping others. I hate cancer, working out and cucumbers (but pickles are cool).
In 2007, I was a stay at home mom who had a knack for using my Konica Minolta camera to take photos of my two (now 3) young children. That hobby slowly bloomed into a small photography business and I took up my first ever client via Craigslist in the spring of 2008. Ten years later, my passion to help other photographers turn hobbies into businesses and businesses into successful careers has been the driving force in creating this industry’s top source of online education.
Meet your monthly teacher
Each month you'll be seeing me teaching over my newest methods. My videos- while primarily focused on newborns and families, will cover a wide range of topics like posing, studio light, natural light, location, editing, styling and so much more.

What makes the Collective
Different
Simply put...EVERYTHING makes this program different, but our favorite part is the adaptive way we serve up fresh content each month. Most online courses will start you at the beginning of the program filmed years ago, leaving you with an ever-evolving gap between you and your peers in this industry.
Having relevant content is a huge problem in the online education world, which is why so many photographers will take course after course and still feel like they are two steps behind.
Unlike most online courses, the Collective is filmed a couple of months before the release dates with the most current methods trending in the industry instead of starting at you at square one. Inside the Collective you will still have backlog access to all of my recent teachings so you can brush up on past methods while also getting the most current released education for each new month freshly filmed.
The Collective strives to get you the results and skills that are happening in the NOW! Not only from one teacher's perspective but from dozens of leading and innovative photographers around the world! Consider this your time machine to a blooming career!

"The Collective
saved my business! I was at the brink of calling it quits"
I was so tired of struggling with posing, lighting, confidence in myself, my work...every session was so stressful. I had been following Rachel's work for years and purchased a few of her other videos so I jumped on the opportunity to have constant learning! I was instantly in tears when things just started clicking..lighting was the biggest struggle for me. After watching the lighting video it just clicked and I haven't struggled since! Posing was another stress. Then she starting doing the deconstruction series and everything just made sense! And lastly her unsoothing method..game changer... would panic if baby wouldn't settle..now I get excited lol I love what I do again. I'm confident in myself now. I don't get stressed
