Hey There!
I’m Rachel, the owner of Rachel Tanedo Photography and I’m so glad you found me!
To know that you’re considering working with me feels really special.
You don’t need to show up any certain way.... loud, quiet, shy, silly, energetic…. all of it is welcome here. Come as you are, truly, and I’ll take it from there!
If you’re wondering if we’d get along, here’s a little bit about me…. In my free time I love thrifting, working out and being outdoors. I love coffee, Gilmore Girls and time alone…. Maybe it’s my personality or maybe I’m just a mom?! I crave structure and organization, but I’m also a boy mom times 3 so I’m learning to go with the flow and enjoy the adventure.
I’ve been married to my husband, Brian for over a decade and he is always pushing me to get out of my comfort sone. He has always believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. He’s also who I run to with all of my technology woes. I don’t know where I’d be without him!
I started my business in 2018 just after having my two oldest boys. The love I had as a child for pictures quickly turned into me taking pictures of my own boys every day, which led me to put that passion into a business that would allow other families to cherish their memories for generations to come.
My favorite thing about photography is delivering images that you can’t wait to hang on your wall. It brings me immense joy to make your memories last a lifetime.

Some of my earliest treasures were the photos tucked beneath my parents’ bed; the kind you hold and you're instantly transported back to a moment in time. That’s the heart of my work. I create family portraits that carry joy: the way a child relaxes in Mom’s arms, the quiet grace of a snuggle after a chaotic day, the warmth of those we love most close by. My goal is simple images that glow with the best of this season, flooding you with happy memories and becoming the heirlooms your family returns to, year after year.
