Hi, I'm Rachel!

I'm Rachel D. Ballard and I'm so glad you're here! Located in Central Kentucky, I'm a small-town twenty-something with a heart for documenting wedding days and motherhood!

I love warm evening rides on our farm ALMOST as much as cuddling on the couch watching Netflix with my husband (Daniel) and our three babies (Sophia, Otis, and Molly). I'm a lover of Jesus, online shopping, and vanilla iced lattes! I officially left my 4th-grade classroom in 2019 to grow a business dedicated to serving, inspiring, and loving clients like He loves us. If you're here, I'd say we could be good friends!

My goal is to personally ensure you have a memorable experience when choosing me as your photographer, with a warm smile and helpful resources every step of the way. From the time we set a date to the day I deliver your hand-crafted gallery, I want you to see me as a friend AND service! If you love bright, vibrant, and heartfelt images then we will make a good fit!

"Will and I had never taken professional photos before and were both feeling nervous/awkward. Rachel helped make the experience fun and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. By the time our wedding day came around taking photos felt so much easier and natural... making for a perfect stress free day!"
