“Over the moon delighted with Rachel’s photography. My partner and I worked with her for a maternity shoot in the rainforest. She was so calm and present to the moment that we were able to relax, and even forget all about the camera at times, allowing for some really beautiful natural shots. She had great advice for framing and positioning too, which she balanced with her manual changes on the camera all so quickly that I was really impressed. It takes an exceptional photographer to work in natural settings - somewhat uncontrollable external environments - efficiently, and to make it all feel so effortless and fun!
The outcomes were very professionally presented too - we are stoked, and highly recommend! Thanks again, Rach.”

“Rachel was the photographer at the birth of our third child and she was such a gentle presence - really sensitive and inconspicuous. She captured some beautiful moments we will cherish forever. We highly recommend her.”

“You can really tell when the person behind the camera is a true artist themselves. Rachel’s photography is nothing short of stunning, she knows how to bring nature and human together in a complimentary way that many other photographers would oversee. She is professional, warm, a great director and knows how to get the most out of her clients.”

“Rachel has a rare gift that enables her to capture the rawest and most tender of moments in a way that is respectful and unobtrusive, whilst at the same time dynamic and creative. We engaged Rachel to shoot our Byron Bay wedding on extremely short notice and we received nothing but heartfelt compliments from every guest that interacted with Rachel about her lovely nature and her patience and commitment to doing the best job she possibly could for us.

Aside from her technical abilities, Rachel is just simply a good person with a big heart, lovely gentle nature and genuinely cares about making the whole experience as comfortable and special for the subject/s as she can.”

“I have no words to express my excitement and appreciation for what you have captured and done for us. We are in love with the photos. I have shared them with my friends and colleagues and they are all very impressed as well. 

Once again thank you so so much for your work. I like the photos more than my wedding photos! You are sooooo amazing and talented.”

“My husband and I had planned our pregnancy photo shoot and were fortunate to find Rachel. Luckily she had time to meet us during our short visit in Brunswick Heads. From the beginning on we felt absolutely comfortable with Rachel, she chose the perfect location for the shooting and the hour flew by in no time. The photos we got are just amazing, absolutely stunning and the memories we now have of the time before our little man is born are just outstanding!! Thanks so much again Rachel, we would recommend everyone to book their shoots with you, as you perfectly capture all special moments. Love it!”

“I can’t recommend My Kindred more highly. Her product photography was exceptional and before we had even chatted through a concept and design aesthetic Rachel had already come up with some amazing ideas and concepts for the shoot based on my product and social media feed. She is competent, thoughtful, kind and a pleasure to work with. What I loved about her is that she not only can shoot brilliantly but can also style the shoot accordingly. My ceramics have never looked better! Thank you Rachel!”
