Set your self up for success! Rachel's newborn and family prep packets are designed to set expectations for your clients and guide them into an easy and stress free session before the shoot.

Join us in the Texas heat with Trine who flew in from Norway to teach us about family photography!
Trine will share how she thrives in chaos with a family of five— creating games and interactions between siblings while also staying true to her intentional portrait style. She documents not only meaning full interactions for families but also aesthetic choices in clothing, placement, and posing awareness for both posture and body language.
Trine will show us how she picks a location with a tree that has similar texture to compliment her clients clothing and how it makes a good filter for high sun light.
Then, at the end of the session Trine moves to a new spot shooting straight into the sun for that dreamy glowing light!
This video shows the full picture of the entire family session along with info on styling, skin tones, posing, and lighting!
Kick off the summer sun season with Trine here in the Collective!

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.
Each month you'll be seeing me in a brand new video. 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. Plus, I'll be diving in to more eclectic styles from time to time to show you guys how I keep my work developing. All of my teaching videos

ways to learn
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 has been 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! Consider this your time machine to a blooming career!
Want to expand your learning outside of the online classroom? Check out my in-person workshops! From observation styled Fly on the Wall workshops to intensive hands-on posing two day classes, I put my heart and soul into making sure that everyone leaves with their questions answered, problems solved, and skills exponentially increased.
