Hi, I’m Rachael, a photographer and content partner based in beautiful Costa Rica. With a deep love for the natural world and an eye for capturing authentic moments, I specialise in lifestyle and portrait photography that connects with people on a deeper level.
Originally from the UK and raised in Switzerland, I have always been passionate about traveling. Since 2016, Costa Rica has captured both my heart & soul and become my home. I am also available to travel for photoshoots.
My journey into photography began with a simple desire to capture the beauty around me, but it quickly evolved into a mission to create images that not only look beautiful but also evoke emotion and inspire connection.
Whether it's a brand looking to showcase its unique identity, an individual seeking to celebrate themselves, or a retreat leader wanting to capture the unique experience they offer, I strive to create images that resonate and leave a lasting memory.
I believe in the power of photography to transform, and I wish to use this skill to connect with the world. My approach is personal, collaborative, and always infused with a sense of adventure and authenticity. When I'm not behind the lens, you can find me exploring Costa Rica, surfing, connecting with nature, and finding inspiration in the everyday moments that make life extraordinary.
Join me in creating powerful images that inspire confidence and tell your story with grace and creativity. I look forward to meeting you.
With love,
Rachael
