I’m Rachael Kershaw, a fashion and lifestyle brand photographer based in Costa Rica. I offer story-driven brand campaigns, portraits, swimwear and resort shoots, and retreat photography, all with a focus on light, location and natural beauty. Whether you need images for a swimwear label, wellness brand, surf-inspired collection, or a retreat gathering, I bring Costa Rica’s tropical spirit to life through my lens.
I collaborate with fashion, swimwear, and beauty brands to create visuals that speak to identity, lifestyle, and emotion. From beach-front campaigns to studio-style brand shoots, I tailor each session to reflect your aesthetic and brand values. My base in Costa Rica gives access to lush jungles, pristine beaches, golden sunsets. Perfect for bold, evocative visuals that stand out.
Whether for entrepreneurs, models, or creatives, I capture portraits and lifestyle images that feel intimate, natural, and grounded. I specialize in sun-lit beach portraits, surf-inspired sessions, wellness and yoga lifestyle shoots, and personal branding sessions for women-led and soul-led businesses.
I work with retreat organizers, wellness brands, and hospitality providers to document experiences, group sessions, and energy-rich moments. My Costa Rica and Guanacaste location means I know the light, the seasons, and the best places ensuring smooth logistics and beautiful final images.
Costa Rica offers a unique combination of tropical beauty, diverse landscapes (beach, jungle, mountains), golden hour light, and a laid-back yet vibrant vibe. It’s ideal for surf, swimwear, wellness, lifestyle, and brand shoots that want authenticity, freedom, and natural aesthetics. Guanacaste & Pacific Coast give easy access to beaches, surf spots, resorts, nature, all without long travel times.
