"Working with Rachel was a dream day! She captured my newborn is the most perfect way, even when she needed some extra settling. Rachel has a calming demeanor that babies respond to well. Her studio is fit for babies comfort and parents to relax while she snaps away! I can’t wait to work with her again in the future and highly recommend Rachel Joan Photography!"

Tampa's Top Newborn Photographer


So glad you found me!

Congratulations on your little one! I'm here to help you navigate through the entire process of maternity and newborn photos. My homey studio is located in Brandon, FL and I serve clients in the Tampa Bay, Riverview, Plant City, Lakeland, St. Petersburg, and surrounding areas. There's enough for you to worry about in preparing for a baby, let me take the stress of planning your photo sessions off of you! Your maternity and newborn session includes all the pampering! Complimentary hair and makeup by a skilled artist, snacks, drinks, and everyone doting on you. Your wardrobe is also provided and you can play dress up and "shop" in my client closet of over 100 dresses and wardrobe options. Sizes are inclusive from XS-4x with a range of colors and styles for every taste.


I have been fortunate enough to be trained by some of the best photographers in the world and have extensive safety training, I am CPR certified, and fully vaccinated. When choosing a maternity or newborn photographer, it is important that they have the proper training and safety protocols in place to make sure your little one is safe throughout the process. I pride myself on continuing education and believe as artists we should always be expanding our knowledge and practices. I am an open book and believe in full transparency, so if you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask! I look forward to the opportunity to work together and create beautiful images for you to have for a lifetime.

"Rachel is an amazing photographer to work with. She has captured all our son’s milestone photos so far- his newborn, 6 month, and one year. We look forward to many more years working with her and receiving breathtaking family photos we will cherish forever."
