I'm Rachelle, A wedding & elopement photographer based out of evansville, Indiana
I have B.A.s in Music & Worship Ministry and Bible & Theology from Johnson University. You might wonder what this has to do with photography, right? This is where I grew deeper in love with my passion for connecting stories, encouraging people, and celebrating love!! In 2016, I married my college sweetheart turned best friend, Sam (AKA Sammy B)! After living in Tennessee for a few years, we settled into our current home in Evansville, Indiana, where we love on our little toddler & pupper.
When I’m not out photographing people or in the office, you can find me walking through the plants at our local greenhouse, watching SNL, or volunteering at our church. We love to hang with our friends, share a meal & have good conversation over food, and have our loved ones in our home. My dreamy dream is to travel back to New England and take our time exploring the historical sites, or fly to Lisbon, Portugal & spend more time than you can imagine taking in the local culture, architecture, art, color, & food of the Portuguese people!
I love mixing bold colors & different textures into my photographs, and documenting things just as they were - full of life & color!
My name’s Rachelle!

Sammy B & Me
Sam & I were in-between ministry jobs, so, I picked up a camera for the first time! I watched a billion hours of YouTube videos to figure out how it worked! Lots of rental gear & late nights spent reading manuals later, and my camera is basically attached to my hip!
As I've fallen in love with photography, and physically holding pictures in my hands (girls, print your photos, PLEASE), I've come to know how precious these snapshots are. We hold memories, moments, & emotions in our hands when we hold our photos. Our photos freeze our fleeting moments in place & help us remember the beauty & our loved ones around us!
So? I hustled; the Lord showed His favor over my efforts to give him everything, and here. we. are! He provided my love for photography and combined it with my love for people, perfectly timed for a new season! Photography allows me to build relationships with clients, give them something precious and tangible to hold, and scratch that always-there-extroverted-itch of being around other humans! Clients get beautiful photos; I get all the metaphorical hugs (win-win)! Remember that love for telling stories, encouraging people, and celebrating love?
Yup. That’s literally my job. (Cue the ugly cry).
