I

a very flawed person extremely in love, much like you.

Ra-kell. Photographer. artist. mother. wife. friend. serial-furniture-mover. audio book addict. novice gardener. megan sussex wanna be. occasional rebel. 

just human.

I'm going to be real here. No copy writer. No selling myself. Just me, being boldly honest. Photography isn't just a service you hire it's an artistic perspective. My life is messy, I have three little girls under my roof, a husband with a dangerous job, family and friends I love deeply and some I miss deeply. My perspective is different. It's raw, experienced, layered, lived in, refined and delicate. 

I have been where you are. I have loved, lost, and gained. I don't take a moment for granted in front of or behind the lens. Moments are all we have. You don't want to miss them. You don't want to forget them. 

A couple of things to know before working with me


  1. I crave warm genuine connections. and if the music isn’t a lil depressing, it’s not for me. My playlists swing between Post Malone and Noah Kahan. also I have a film obsession, so you can expect lots of that.
  2. I'm a spur of the moment kind of creative so I like to plan my sessions with plenty of time to play, think and explore.
  3. This is a collaborative art! You give me a little piece of you and I preserve it and in turn give you a little piece of me. 
  4. Your story is uniquely yours, and your photos should reflect that in every way.
  5. Lastly, in order for this to work you have to like me and you have to trust me. You have to know I've got you!
