Rachel Kost Photography

I've been passionate about all art forms for as long as I can remember! I got into photography as a little middle schooler when I received a digital camera as a gift one year, and took pictures of random objects and landscapes, submitting them into local art shows and fairs. I put my passion on the backburner when I started focusing on my schooling and career. My husband gifted me a fancy camera with lenses for Christmas a few years back and it sparked my love once again! I have an artistic eye if I do say so myself, and love capturing those precious life moments!

I don't take pictures for a paycheck; I take pictures because I LOVE doing it! This is my side gig and I wouldn't have it any other way! I'm not the traditional photographer. I won't tell you the whole time "okay now you put your hand here, do this with your leg, now look at me and smile!" I would rather tell you to dance like nobody is watching, whisper a joke in your partner's ear, run away from me and twirl, etc. Don't get me wrong, we will get some put-together, posed "wall hangers" as well, however I truly love capturing real emotion and helping my couples have fun while taking photos!
