A LITTLE ABOUT RACHEL:

Rachel is a native Texan who loves Jesus and believes avocado/guac should be a part of every meal. Her maiden name is Durban and her married name is Rice, so you may hear her called both.

She appreciates a good pun, a strong cup of coffee, tattoos, well-told stories, fried plantains, and string lights. She believes laughter is a vital part of life and truly a gift from God.

She has been on staff since 2013 with a wonderful non-profit organization working in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the US. She lived in Haiti for three years and has been calling Austin, Tx “home” since 2016.

She’s married to her best friend and they have the silliest-most-wonderful golden-doodle, Rubie Joy. Check out @rubiejoy_ on Insta if you need to smile.

The camera has a unique way of functioning as an ice-breaker, allowing authenticity to be kindled, spontaneous dance parties to break out, and memories cemented in time.

Kendi, mama of 4 littles

“Rachel captures the essence of our entire family with her carefree, flexible, and personalized style. She is gracious and kind with children’s goofiness and defiance and manages to bring beauty out of each of us even when it feels chaotic (Chaotic because of family dynamic of 6 and hungry, and toddlers, and attitude 😊). A huge benefit for our family is the efficiency she works without compromising any artistry or personality of our family.”

Jamie, mama of the sweetest newborn

“Rachel is fantastic! Not only did she make us feel comfortable in front of the camera, she captured us in the moments that truly reflect who we are as a family. Her photos are works of art that I cannot wait to display in our home, the only problem will be deciding which ones to choose! You will walk away with beautiful photos and a new friendship with her...that combination is priceless.”

 

Shannon, radiant bride

Rachel is not only an incredibly talented photographer, she is also one of the kindest people you will ever meet. My husband and I loved having her on the team the day of our wedding because she went above and beyond the call of photographer. She helped keep us on track and ensured we were actually enjoying our day. Rachel has the ability to capture the emotions of each special moment, and she has an unmatched eye for detail. Her thoughtfulness and creativity shines through in every photo. Look no further than Rachel if you desire to have pictures that transcend the years and take you back to such sweet moments over and over again.”
