Hi, I am Rachel Black.

Hey Folks! I’m Rachel, a Nashville native now up in New England after spending the 5 years in Houston. I specialize in fine art weddings, destination + elopements, Therapy retreats, lifestyle, and family sessions. I love the outdoors and adventures that involve spontaneity which brings out the true voyager in us all. 

I am passionate about my work as an Art Therapist. I was always the black sheep of my family and dealt with a difficult childhood which inspired me to become a therapist but also encouraged me to express myself through art. Every single moment captured makes the struggle of life that more beautiful.

"I’m not interested in passion and love for their own sake — without the struggle of life, they’re just fluff." — Mira Nair

My goal in all of my photography is light and emotion. Whether it's sunrise or sunset catching that perfect light for all of my clients is what I aim to achieve. Light is always around us sometimes you have to get creative.

I believe that art heals and love endures all things. -Rachel B.

That’s me, every bit of it, in my happiest and truest form. Cannot wait to meet you!

I had the honor of working with Rachel who was extremely professional and personable. She did both of my children’s photographs when they were first born. She was extremely patient with both babies. I absolutely love her work!

Rachel is literally a dream come true photographer. She is not only amazing at what she does but just a beautiful person inside and out. She has taken photos for my family several times and we loved her so much we brought her to Italy with us to capture our wedding journey. She not only took the most incredible photos of us on our wedding but throughout our entire journey we had the most beautiful shots all because of her. I am told all the time how our pictures should be in magazines!

We are Canadian and met Rachel by chance when we were looking for a photographer in CT. She captured our engagement photos for us and we were blown away. We decided we absolutely needed to have her photograph our wedding in Mexico. Rachel is an amazing photographer. She is professional, made us feel at ease, and emanates joy to those behind her camera lens. We cannot thank her enough for the beautiful moments she captured for us. We highly recommend and hope our paths cross again someday!
