Meet Rachel:

I’m an Oregon-based photographer whose work spans destinations, hospitality, landscapes, and all the details in between.

More often than not, I’m drawn to stories that go beyond the typical itinerary: the quiet shoulder seasons, the long and underrated scenic route, the places that haven’t made the guidebook yet. I’ve always been more of an explorer than a traveler, and I bring that perspective to every story I tell.

In addition to my work as a photographer, I am also the creator behind @heyrachelirene and Somewhere Northwest, an independent travel project dedicated to exploring the Pacific Northwest.
