I believe there’s so much more to photography than the pomp and circumstance.
Too often, these moments get overlooked. And how could they not? There’s so much external stress on life-changing moments - moments that should be dictated solely by the heart, but are too often outside pressures. Scrutiny.
But, what if I told you there was a way to shed that all away? To step out from under the microscope and bring YOUR fairy tale to life - to capture your intimate, raw emotions in a way that is unique and authentic to you.
Sound too good to be true? Well, Darling, then I’m just the one for you.
GET TO KNOW ME
It’s about cherishing the living, breathing stories around us. capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments and curating art with purpose.
Hey there, I'm Rachael Dier!
YOUR STORY IS A WORK OF ART.
Swapping out the staged & stagnant for the real & raw.
Now, what exactly is intimate editorial? On the surface, the phrase seems polarizing in it of itself - one an authentic look inside someone’s life, the other a staged piece of art. But, have most of the photos in your life not been the latter?
Weddings with a checklist to make sure you get a photo with every family member you won’t see until the next one? Proposals that have been planned to a T, only to be ruined when an unexpected delivery truck drives by?
Life is full of the unexpected. Of chaos. Of raw, real emotion. And when we embrace that, and focus on documenting the reason for coming together, then that’s when a photo becomes truly authentic.
Pair that with an editorial spin, and you’ll have a photo you won’t ever be able to stop looking at. And you won’t care that it’ll get a ton of likes online. Because, you can’t believe how happy you look. And you’ll know it wasn’t staged - it was real.

"Rachael has a way of putting even the most camera-self-conscious (me) at ease!"
The whole shoot felt so natural and easy, and I was able to stop worrying about how I was posing because she is so good at describing and demonstrating the poses. Not to mention, she is a lovely person as well and makes sure everyone is comfortable the whole way through. 10/10 experience!”

Rachael is organized, prepared, open to creative freedom, and goes above and beyond to make sure it goes perfectly.
At our styled shoot, Rachael made sure that I got my photos as the florist to use for my own content, and was just so easy to be around and talk to. Ever since the day we met at the shoot, we've been keeping in contact and brainstorming about more and more ideas and it makes me so happy. Rachael is truly a great professional, photographer, curator, writer, and person. I'm excited to work with her again in the future, and see what she does!

Capturing beautiful moments with our lens is only a small part of what we do.
storytelling
empowerment
creative liberation
In order to create art that matters, it’s important for the emotions + moments we curate to exist beyond our time with the camera. Our heart goes beyond creating beautiful photos that last a lifetime, but form a deeper connection with those we create with.
In doing so, we tell a story that’s alive, not just a glimpse in time. We empower others to share their intimate raw + real moments with the world. And we give a glimpse into the power of creative liberation.
