I believe a moment doesn't have to be perfectly staged to be meaningful.
Photographer for Life
Working with me is different than working with any other photographer. My work began with families, and as those children grew, senior portraits became an unexpected and deeply meaningful part of what I do. I now photograph both — and I believe each one makes the other richer. Let's document your story from the very beginning all the way through graduation and beyond.

"Rachel captures the way I feel about my kids."
I specialize in photographing children and seniors. The purity, the whimsy, and the inherent beauty of how children learn and grow from birth to high school is what drew me into this 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."
"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."

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 or senior, 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.
