Hi, I am Rachel Swaffer.
Hello! I'm a portrait photographer based in the charming town of Washington, IA. My passion for photography stems from the belief that everyone deserves to have beautiful photographs of their family and loved ones. A portrait captures not just a moment, but also the emotions, scents, and feelings associated with it. Portraits have the power to 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! Let's create something special together!
