About me
I’m Rachel, I live on the outskirts of Horsham with my husband George and two boys Ethan and Oliver. Although I’d describe myself as an introvert George tells me something happens when I have a camera in my hands and I have this extra confidence, I really love being a photographer.
There’s nothing more rewarding than when you take a shot you love or receive feedback that people cherish the photographs you have taken of them or their family.
Approach
My approach is discreet and natural, I aim to capture real moments that are documented in a simple and timeless way. I have always found that the best moments have been captured when the people I photograph feel relaxed in my company.
I am not one for staged or posed photography, I like to find a beautiful setting, ideally outdoors in fields or flowers and capture fun and laughter. If that means that during a family shoot Mum or Dad has to dance behind me, pull faces, or generally make a fool out of themselves to get a giggle, then so be it!
Background
I studied photography at university, by the end of the three years I was desperate to get out there and work for myself. I photographed my first wedding in 2008.
Wallflower Photographics was established in 2011, I have been fortunate enough to be able to do lots of different types of photography, magazine shoots and weddings dominated the initial years of my business however over the last few years my business has started to focus more on outdoor children and family photography, this fits in well with my lifestyle now I have both my boys at school.
All of the work I do is gained by word of mouth, which I am truly so grateful for. Without the support of my previous clients I wouldn’t be able to do the job I love.
