Get to know the photographer
Hi! I'm Rachel
I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a senior at the University of Nebraska at Kearney studying Ad/PR, digital marketing, and multimedia. I’ve been doing photography projects quietly on the side for the past three years. In 2025, I finally decided to go all in and build my brand.
I’ve always been a girl with LOTS of creative hobbies, constantly making things and sharing them on social media. I never said, “I want to be a photographer when I grow up,” but when I look back at my childhood, it makes a little too much sense.

When I was 13, I started my own business called Fab Front Door! I hand-painted and sold HUNDREDS of front door hangers over the span of six years. I even had my signs sold in a local boutique. Although I don't make signs anymore, I still adore this era and love to paint.

This one is a bit more of a deep cut...only the OGs will know! In middle school I had an avid nail polish phase and Instagram account called Polished Rachel. I devoted so many hours to intricate nail art and accompanying tutorials. I filmed and photographed them on my mom's nice Canon camera and edited them on iMovie...sparking a love of content creation. It was iconic I can't lie.

Well, this is just me! Although I'm no influencer, I love sharing ALLLL my travels, my college memories & occasionally a hobby on my personal IG account.
I’ve always loved meeting new people and learning their stories. One of my favorite books, New Yorkers, is nothing more than a collection of human experiences, and that’s exactly what draws me in. Through photography, I get to meet people, create something visually beautiful, and capture the personality and emotion behind their interactions.
