Talia's bat mitzvah
Rachael is as much a talented photographer as she is a fun and easy going presence. Love and warmth shine through the photos, which is not a function of the camera lens…rather they come directly from Rachael's own spirit. - Jen

Rachael is a total master -- she knows and appreciates how special these events are and incorporates photography seamlessly into the celebrations. Her pictures are gorgeous -- particularly the candids where you can really see Rachael's expertise and creative expression. - Debra

Book her. I am 100% sure you will not regret it. I have never seen photographs like Rachael's. Our friends and family agree. There is something about her style and talent that is unmatched.

My son's Bar Mitzvah was a magical day from the ceremony that morning to the party that night. Ben's album is something that we will cherish forever, and we can't wait for Rachael to be there for Daniel's Bar Mitzvah! - Melanie

maddy & siddy's b'nai mitzvah
My favorite part of my kids' B'nai Mitzvah is seeing my children so happy. Rachael captured this in all her pictures. She is wonderful to work with before, during and after the event! She is not intrusive, and yet manages to capture the event perfectly! I highly recommend her!

natalie's bat mitzvah
You can hire Rachael and know your photos and albums will be phenomenal. - Sarah
You can hire Rachael and know your photos and albums will be phenomenal. We were having an "non-traditional" bat mitzvah service at someone's home, and I wasn’t sure how to make sure the photography work. But the photos were absolutely beautiful. Rachael worked the space brilliantly! - Sarah
Madeleine's bat mitzvah
Rachael was everywhere we needed her to be and she captured every significant moment with such beauty and subtlety. She was unobtrusive, captured every detail quietly, blended in with our guests, and was such a delight all the way around.
This is one event that you want captured forever. Rachael is kind, patient, and has it well in hand. You will have photos that are as magical and wonderful as the lifecycle event she is recording.

kate's bat mitzvah
I had a lot of choices when it came to photography. I have a lot of friends in the industry and while I think they all do fantastic work there was just that special *something* I connected to when I saw Rachael's work. Her work is fresh and clean and she does an amazing job of making posed photos look relaxed and natural. Plus, her calm, relaxed personality was much needed. Photography was the most important expense to me because it's the only thing that is left at the end of the day. You will not regret the investment or hiring Rachael. - Kristin
