“There are some people who simply take pictures, and then there are people who make you feel seen. That’s exactly what Rachel did for me.
As I prepare to launch something I’ve poured my heart into for a long time, I wanted photos that felt authentic, joyful, and true to who I am. She gave me so much more than that. From the moment we started, she made me feel comfortable, confident, and, honestly, like a star. She knew exactly how to bring out my personality while making every moment feel natural instead of posed.
Her eye for detail, encouragement, and genuine excitement for my journey meant more than she probably realizes. When I received my gallery, I didn’t just see beautiful photos–I saw the beginning of a dream coming to life.
If you’re looking for someone who will celebrate you, cheer you on, and capture your story with talent and heart, she’s your person. I’m beyond grateful for this experience and will treasure these photos for years to come. ”

“Rachel was wonderful to work with! She is very talented and so fun to work with! She made the session so easy and did several different poses and candid shots so we had so many good ones it was hard to choose!!!
The session totally flew by!! Rachel included our pup in some of the family pics and he loved her! She even held our pup’s leash while she was photographing us for a little bit to make sure we didn’t have to take any time away from getting all the pics we desired! We would 100% recommend Rachel Yatteau Photography! She is a sweetheart and you will get more beautiful photos than you will know what to do with!”

“I had the best Grad photo shoot ever with Rachel! I was nervous going into the shoot because I have not had many professional photo shoots, but Rachel made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the entire time.
She was great at helping with the poses and making it feel very natural. We even went longer than expected but she was still so dedicated to getting good shots and not making it feel rushed at all. Overall, such an amazing experience and unlike any other photoshoot experience I have had in the past. I am so happy with the result and she captured exactly what I was looking. All of the photos capture the essence of graduating from FSU and are so candid and vibrant. I have no bad words to say about the experience and would truly recommend her to everyone!!!”

“I have seen Rachel work her magic both at large events with over 500 people, as well as in intimate family portrait settings, and she excels at both.
Rachel is a great photographer, but an even better person. Her ability to put people at ease, evaluate the environment and the colors, height differences, and personal dynamics going on within a family means that the photos you get from your session are thoughtfully composed but not stiff, professional but relaxed, and they’re entirely beautiful. You will enjoy working with Rachel, and you will cherish the moments she captures.”

Prior to the photo shoot, she gave me suggested outfits and a color scheme that would compliment my website. During the session, Rachel put me at ease and made the process fun and enjoyable! She is a true professional and an excellent photographer.”

“Rachel took my senior photos and I'm so happy with how they turned out! She was so kind and made me feel very pretty the entire time.
The shoot was so much fun and the photos are definitely my favorite photos of myself! She was great about incorporating dance into the shoot, which I felt really allowed my personality to shine through. The venue was gorgeous as well which was definitely a great addition to all of the photos!”
