Hi, I am Rachel Swaffer.


I am a portrait photographer out of small town Washington, IA. I am passionate about photography because I feel that everyone should have photographs of their family and loved ones. A portrait can helps us remember a moment, a smell, or a feeling. Portraits can empower us while simultaneously taking our breath away with the beauty of the world and the people in it. This is why I do what I do!
