Starting August 16th, ALL individual videos will be archived and we will no longer have any of these available to purchase! You'll be able to log in and watch them forever still!
All of these videos are over a few years old but still full of so much relevant education!
Golden hour has always been the most optimal time of day for shooting in the photography industry but if shot incorrectly you still won't achieve your best work even when the light is in your favor!
Rachel breaks apart her locations and methods of light filtering/ placement in this video. From backlighting, color casting, haze, and being mindful of lighting your clients face you'll learn the foundations needed to create perfectly golden light images at every single session!

Come hang out with me while I photograph a family of seven for a sunset session in Indiana! This video focuses heavy on posing, prompts and my session flow!
In this nearly uncut video you’ll watch my entire process, including what I bring to every session, how I use an assistant, what to do when kids melt down and my MOST asked question:
How do you get seven people in focus while shooting wide open?
By the time you’re done watching this hour long video, you’ll know the ins and outs of Rachel’s bag of tricks, her intentional posing and see how she is able to guarantee larger galleries that keep her clients coming back every year, and a waiting list over a hundred families deep!

What do you do if you have to photograph a special event in the middle of the day or you have a client who is insistent on shooting during a non-ideal time of light? In this video Rachel teaches you how to shoot correctly during the white hot lighting hours of the day and how to work with the right location / shade under these non-ideal lighting circumstances.
In this video you'll see a minute by minute break down and arial footage of each shooting spot to fully understand shade / location as a whole to achieve the best images whether you are in an ideal situation or you have to work on the fly for your clients needs. This video has it all to make you a master of understanding light!

In this family 50 minute Fly on the Wall video (originally a part of the 2016 Milky Way Retreat that has since been retired!), you’ll be able to watch Rachel work with four families from the full Family eWorkshop (these portions are not found in the full eWorkshop)...a family with only one child, a family with two children, three children and then quadruplet boys! You’ll get a glimpse into how she interacts with toddler aged littles all the way up to teenagers, and see how she positions clients during the golden hour, cloudy sessions and after the sun has set.

Photography 101:
The basics
The first video in the 101 Series; The Basics, is my most packed teaching video in the series. This course is great for those who have zero ideas for how to work the settings on their DSLR camera or what the exposure triangle is. I’ll be taking you for a deep dive into all the logistics then teaching you how to put that skill to work with the key components of natural light positioning. This video is filled to the brim with key information that would help both brand new and advanced photographers who might be missing some important steps to really nail down their skill.
