Children’s Photographer

Working with me is different than working with any other photographer. Let’s document your child’s life from the day you bring them home.

See what it's like to have one photographer for your whole life.

"Rachel captures the way I feel about my kids."

I specialize in photographing children. The purity, the whimsy, the inherent beauty of childhood is what drew me into the work 20 years ago. My reward is the consistency of working with families, like yours, year after year.

And I’m on a mission to become your lifetime photographer.

Hi, I’m Rachel Hudgins

Photography is fun, sometimes it’s messy, but I’m here to capture your child’s unique spirit.

"So easy going. The kids love her. No ‘ughs’. She's always up for anything."

- FARAH L., NEW YORK

"I'm so grateful that we started twice-a-year sessions when our children were young because we now have this body of work for all three of my kids. We’ve also shot a lot at our ranch. Now we’ve got these photographs of the way it used to be, and how it’s changed over time, too. It’s become even more of a touchstone."

-CATHERINE R., HOUSTON

My images are distinct, and timeless. So although my job might be easier if I worked with a posing formula, it wouldn’t reflect the elegant and fresh editorial style I’m best known for. Your session is all about you. When I’m photographing your child, I’m looking for the genuine, tender moments that will be meaningful to you long after your session is over.

Photos as spirited as your little ones.

HOLD STILL: THE ALBUM

Disregard the stress and begin to think of your photoshoot as an opportunity to be candid in front of the camera, just as if you were spending the day with a close friend. That is where the true magic begins.
