YOU'RE RIGHT WHERE YOU NEED TO BE

Story-driven imagery that captures connection and the moments that happen when you’re simply being yourself.

If you’re here, you’re probably looking for photos that feel less posed and more true. The kind that capture connection, quiet moments, and the feeling of being fully present — whether that’s in your home, your favorite place, or a space you’ve created for others to experience.


This is where we slow down, notice the details, and create images that feel warm, honest, and deeply human.

The real moments happen in between.

There’s space to slow down and simply be yourself.
BEHIND THE LENS

Before we capture your story, you should know a bit about mine…

I’m Rachel, the lifestyle and creative portrait photographer behind The Wandering Tourists.
 

With a background in education, I’ve learned how important it is for people to feel safe, seen, and free to be themselves — and that’s exactly how I approach every session.
 

My work centers on unposed, intentional photography: families, cozy in-home moments, moody creative portraits, and story-filled short term rentals. No stiff posing or pressure to perform — just space to settle in and let things unfold naturally.
 

I’m here to capture your life in a way that feels real, warm, and true to you.
