Rachel’s passion for photography began in high school, on a hiking trip into the Great Smoky Mountains. Not only did she realize how much she loved working with a camera, she also realized how much she loved being in the mountains. So in July of 2015, she said goodbye to Baltimore, drove across the country to the gorgeous Colorado Rocky Mountains, and she has never looked back. Currently, Rachel lives in Boulder and works in business development for a Logistics company in Louisville. She graduated from Goucher College in 2013 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science and a minor in chemistry while also competing with the Goucher women’s swim team for four years. She has been a part of numerous photography workshops, focusing her efforts in wildlife and landscape photography all over the country, including the Rockies, Smokies, Yellowstone and Grand Tetons, and Utah. In her free time, Rachel spends most of her time outdoors and in the mountains, hiking, camping, and exploring. She also spends a good amount of her time updating her photography and travel blog website. She believes in following your passions, the power of laughter, and enjoying the simple things in life.
