Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ve been a professional photographer for over 10 years, and I absolutely love what I do. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me swimming, hiking around Colorado Springs, or listening to audiobooks (I’m always in the middle of a good story!).
Before photography, I was a special education teacher, which taught me a lot about patience, communication, and making sure everyone feels seen and supported. Now, I bring that experience to my photo sessions, working hard to make sure you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. I guide you through each shot with clear direction, whether it’s posing or just knowing where to look.
If money and time were no object, I’d be traveling the world to see all the most beautiful libraries—because who doesn’t love a great book in a gorgeous space? But for now, I’m here in Colorado Springs, ready to capture your moments and help you shine!I would be honored to capture this special time in your life!

Hey y'all, I'm Annalise!
I’m your hop on a plane for a good time,
hike to a lake and fish it,
find a wave and surf it,
cowgirl at heart kind of gal!
Here to serve God and others.
Capturing your most authentic self is the heartbeat of my business. I love the way a photo can seal a moment in time for generations to come. I’m here to capture the real, intimate, fun, elegant, and genuinely-you moments you never want to forget.
My faith in Jesus fuels my love and compassion to capture His creation. Photography is one of the most humbling ambitions I've ever encountered. It challenges me greatly, but I feel it is my calling and I want to continue on this journey for the Lord. Every connection I make is an opportunity to celebrate the unique beauty and value that each person brings. I love drawing out your authentic self in a shoot and in that, I want to create photos you can feel.You'll often find me conquering trails on a hike, casting a line while fishing, embracing the freedom of trail riding, shooting guns with daddy, or riding the waves on my surfboard. If it involves soaking in the beauty of the natural world, count me in. I feel closest to God when I'm outside. I was born and raised in the sunshine state of Florida and currently hanging my hat in NW Montana #glaciernationalpark. I will happily hop on a plane and meet you anywhere (passport ready)! I've also lived in Colorado, Arizona, and Wyoming at different points of life. Traveling to new places and taking in God's creation everywhere I go is my way of staying creatively charged. Beach bum to mountain momma, I'm here for it!

Hi friends! I’m Maggie. A wife, mother, and voice teacher, I am so excited to be joining the team as an associate photographer with Magnolia and Grace. With a background in vocal performance and pedagogy, I’ve spent years helping others find their voice—and I’ve found that photography is another powerful way to tell stories.
Over the past five years, I’ve photographed life’s meaningful moments, and I’m passionate about capturing the beauty in the everyday. I love coffee, sunrises, and the quiet joy of preserving memories that families can cherish for years to come.
I’m so excited to be part of the Magnolia and Grace team and to help create timeless, heartfelt images that reflect the grace and connection in each unique story.

Hey love, I'm Lydia! I specialize in capturing sentimental, timeless experiences to cherish forever. I studied photography because of how much I value being able to hold on to beautiful moments with my loved ones, especially my little family. Having my sweet five year old daughter changing and growing every day constantly reminds me [simply] how time is precious beyond words. This is why I developed such passion for being able to capture those moments for others as I've so valued myself. As an artist at heart, my focus is in details that create lovely, joyful moments frozen in time- the kind you can't wait to display in your home. I graduated from Utah Valley University with my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and taught 2nd grade and Music; I absolutely loved teaching and chose to step away after my baby was born to have more time with her and pursue photography. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me on an adventure with my husband and daughter. We love camping, snowboarding, outdoor rock-climbing, singing, playing music, playing board games, and being excessively silly. I also enjoy watercolor, handlettering, woodwork, and am working towards publishing children's books.
I would be honored to capture this special time in your life!
