in good company

a bit of my history

My life has taken twists and turns and iteration after iteration. The most constant source of stability, joy and safety has come from community. Passionate from a young age, inviting my mom’s friends over for game parties- proving I was born this way. I planned summer camps for 5 year olds before I was a teenager, brought never-before-done traditions to my class senior year in high school, hosted dinner parties in Amsterdam and house concerts in my home during college, hosted fundraisers and introduced dozens of people to their best friends, partners & roomies. Life’s journey put me at hundreds of weddings over a decade, where I got to witness all kinds of couples, family dynamics, quirky themes and listen to speeches about clunky beginnings and almost missed connections. I’ve photographed toddlers who are now teenagers. I’ve been around all kinds of life, from mundane to magic moments.

Don’t Give Up

I met my partner Adam at a game party on Valentines day. It was a clunky beginning, but I’m so glad I was able to be patient and that he was able to move move faster and we could meet in the middle. We’ve spent the last decade traveling, raising chickens, sharing our home with 13 kids (through fostercare, adoption & one polish exchange student). We’ve photographed dozens of weddings, made kombucha, grieved and gotten through all the hard and the beautiful days together.

the common thread: community

we have always maintained a sense of security and joy through our community. We love creating spaces where people can be their fullest, weirdest, passionate selves. In my work as a human and natural connector, I always want to bring peopel together. I’m also a maximizer so I love groups.

love is for everybody.

Meet Rachel →

After a decade of witnessing tender love between good humans, on the day choose to celebrate with the world, I have an advantage that I do believe in love. I’ve seen partnership where couples treaded deeply painful times, watched swift love come and change everything, I’ve seen people unfurl and allow love in beyond what they could’ve imagined for themselves.

I’m not here to glamorize romantic relationships. They’re hard work, the good kind of hard. Most people I talk to are ready to do the good hard work to build a life with someone.

a good life together.
