  • Sweet 16 Photos

    “Rachel’s sunny disposition is downright infectious, and I watched her create an enjoyable, stress-free environment while photographing my daughter. Any insecurities my teenager may have had flew right out the window as she leaned into Rachel's positivity. The joy they created during that experience was evident, not only during the shoot, but also in the images created, as it was evident that my daughter felt comfortable, confident and carefree. I can't say enough positive things about Rachel and her exquisite talent, not only behind the lens but also in how she communicates with her clients and makes them feel comfortable during what could otherwise be a stressful situation. On a score of 1-10, Rachel is a 12!" — Megan Bowman (Mother of Three Daughters, Ages 20, 16 and 14)

    College Graduation

    “I am extremely pleased with the photos Rachel took for my college graduation! She was so much fun to work with on shoot day, helping find fun angles and poses while hyping me up the whole time and making me feel amazing. I left the shoot extremely excited to see how everything turned out but didn’t have to wait long at all - everything was edited and uploaded so quickly it truly blew my mind! I keep looking back at the photos and smiling because Rachel genuinely made me feel and look amazing, and I’m so grateful for her work at such a pivotal point in my life.”

    Nonprofit Event

    “Rachel Yatteau is as talented a photographer as she is a delight to work with. We hosted a 500+ person outdoor event in May, and Rachel thought of everything before our event to ensure she delivered beautiful, timely, and diverse images for us. She took the time to understand what subject matter was important to us to capture, what product and promotional shots for our sponsors might be appreciated, and what look and feel we wanted her photographs to capture. To say she did an incredible job is an understatement. She made multiple site visits prior to our event to understand the lighting; she attended a pre-event committee meeting to get a better sense of our mission for the event and all of the activities we'd planned for the evening; she even purchased an umbrella hat to wear on her head because our forecast called for rain! If you're looking for a creative, talented, thoughtful, professional, look no further than Rachel Yatteau.” — Shelley M.

    Corporate Brand Photography & Headshots

    “We were fortunate enough to enlist the help of Rachel to shoot both corporate headshots and group photos during our recent rebranding. Given our line of business and having never done this previously, our staff was hesitant about the process. Rachel’s personality, professionalism, and prep work in advance helped everyone feel at ease upon arrival and made the process more relaxed than we could have imagined. She was able to get so many great shots that we had a hard time deciding which ones to use for our website and profiles. Not only was the photo shoot a breeze, but Rachel was able to help us narrow down which images to use, and share formats easy to use for various mediums. We’ve already recommended Rachel to others and definitely plan to use her for future marketing campaigns. — Bobbi Seymour
