Celebrating women at every step of their lives with portrait photography .

For personal milestones and standing out in business.

The Art of PORTRAIT

Elegant portrait photography for women in London and beyond. I help you celebrate your life's milestones through portrait photography, creating memories for that special moment in your life and helping you stand out in your business.

I photograph women through every chapter of their lives, creating memories of these milestones that mark a life: a special journey you want to celebrate via portrait in a city, a new chapter in your life that deserves intimate boudoir photography, or celebrating motherhood and portraits when you need to show up as a woman in business. My portrait photography is here to help you create portraits for exactly where you are in your life.

Shooting since 2016.

I believe the best portraits don't just show you; they feel like you.

Women come to me at pivotal moments: a milestone they want to hold onto, a memory they want to create, or a moment in their career when they need to stand out and be seen. Whatever brings you here, my approach stays the same: a focus on what makes you you.

I work with both film and digital, but the heart of my process never changes: capturing the smile in your eyes, the moment you forget that you are in front of the camera and the confidence that defines who you are.

Over the years, I've photographed women across Europe: in London, Marseille, Berlin, creating timeless images as memories to hold onto.

My clients tell me my portraits feel elegant, natural, and deeply personal. My greatest hope is that when you look back at these images, years, even decades from now, you won't just see yourself. You'll remember yourself: how you felt, who you were, and the joy of that moment you transformed into someone else.

The photo session with Rachel was fantastic, both professionally and personally

Thanks to her spontaneity and easygoing nature, she quickly put me at ease. She is highly professional, full of ideas, and brings a dynamic approach to her work; I loved working with her. We had fun collaborating, and I think that really shows in the photos! Thank you so much, Rachel, for a wonderful session, don't change a thing.

Absolutely Fantastic Experience with Rachel!

I recently had a photo shoot in London with Rachel, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, she was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Rachel has a great eye for detail and knows exactly how to capture natural, flattering shots that feel genuine rather than posed. She scouted some amazing London locations that perfectly matched the look I was going for, and her creative direction made the entire session feel effortless and fun. The final photos are absolutely stunning, beautifully edited, full of life, and exactly what I’d hoped for (and more!). If you’re looking for a talented photographer who’s not only skilled but also a joy to work with, I can’t recommend Rachel highly enough. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future! — Marinae London photo session
