Rachael, with an extra A

I’m pretty sure every photographer bio has the same lines about loving their camera and photos since they were a little kid. And yeah, that’s all true, but you’ve read it before, so let me tell you some other fun facts instead!

I’m a Pisces and an Enneagram 2, so I’m painfully empathetic and sensitive.

I’m also an eldest daughter and a recovering people pleaser.

I love the outdoors—preferably from a comfy chair.

I have 8 tattoos and more in the works.

I’m obsessed with flowers.

I will never say no to tacos and a margarita.

I tend to have a dry, sarcastic sense of humor and have to be careful of it.

I had 4 kids in 5.5 years, so yeah, I understand chaos.

I’m an audiobook girlie, but I keep all my “shelf trophy” physical books because maybe one day I’ll have time to sit and read.

Enough with the blah blah - let’s create something beautiful together!

The Woman Behind the Lens

I turned a hobby into a business in 2012 and have been rolling ever since. I know my way around a camera, crazy kids, and cranky husbands.

I have based my business on the ideas that

1 ) Humans are innately beautiful creatures in all sizes & stages, and

2 ) Memories deserve to be preserved because life is painfully short & unfair.

From seniors to weddings, births to end-of-life sessions, I’ve photographed it all. My goal is to make the process enjoyable and stress-free. I equip my clients with everything needed for an amazing session and the result is stunning, classic photos they love for years. Each photo is edited with care and delivered with a smile.

So with all that said, welcome to Rachael Maxwell Photography, where the photographer is a little crazy, the experience is fun, and the photos are honest.

  • Home is Las Vegas, NV (no, I do not live in a hotel or own sequins), so that is my primary area of service. Vegas may be home, but I am always available for travel to other cities and states. I'll take any excuse to explore! Please note that a travel fee will be assessed for all sessions outside of the Las Vegas Valley - this fee is custom to the job and will factor in flights, accommodations, and other necessary travel expenses.

  • Yes. In order to book your session, I require a non-refundable session fee as well as a completed contract. When you claim a date on the calendar, it means someone else may miss out on a session. While the session fee is non-refundable, it can be moved to a different date should you need to reschedule.

  • There are two options for mini sessions - if you are in need of a shorter session, you can book Petite Session for $375.

    A few times a year, I offer blocks of speciality mini sessions. These will be offered in blocks on specific dates for an even bigger discount. All mini session dates and locations are announced on my social media accounts as well as my email newsletter.

  • You will be required to pay your balance the day of your session. When you receive your gallery you can chose additional downloads, prints, and other product options. Your gallery stays up for 14 days, so you can spread out your purchases, or contact me for a payment plan option.

  • I edit all of the best images from your session. When you receive your gallery, you can order your favorites or upgrade to the full gallery. This means that you can preserve the images you love the most in the way that works best for your home! I am available for post-session consultations if you need help choosing which images to download or print. We can discuss your wall space, your budget, and which images mean the most to you to come up with a display you can enjoy.
