"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."
So glad you found me!
Congratulations on the arrival of your little one! I'm here to guide you through the wonderful journey of capturing those first newborn moments. My cozy studio is nestled in Brandon, FL, and I proudly serve families in the Tampa Bay, Riverview, Plant City, Sarasota, Lakeland, St. Petersburg, and surrounding areas. With all the preparations for your new baby, let me handle the planning of your photography sessions, relieving you of any stress!
Your newborn session at Rachel Joan Photography is more than just photos; it's a pampering experience. You've just undergone a significant life transformation, and you deserve to be cared for. Enjoy complimentary hair and makeup by a skilled artist, delectable snacks, refreshing drinks, and the undivided attention of our team, all focused on you and your little one. You can sit back, relax in our comfortable studio, and watch as I capture the precious details of your beautiful baby.
I've been incredibly fortunate to learn from some of the world's most talented newborn photographers. Safety is a top priority, as evidenced by my CPR certification and full vaccination. When selecting a newborn photographer, it's crucial to ensure they possess the right training and safety measures to protect your little one throughout the process. I take pride in my commitment to continuous learning and believe that, as artists, we should always strive to expand our knowledge and skills. My baby-led approach allows us to achieve those charming poses with minimal disturbance to your baby.
I value transparency and believe in an open dialogue. So, if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm genuinely looking forward to the opportunity to collaborate with you, creating timeless images that you'll cherish for a lifetime. I take a limited number of newborns per months, so it is best to reach out during your second trimester to ensure availability. However, I have comfortably and successfully photographed newborns up to 8 weeks old.
