Portrait Rachel Ross of 51 North Photography
 

Heyyyy!

 

I'm Rachel! An American photographer living in Rotterdam, Netherlands. (Rofffffaaaa) I've lived in some amazing places! I grew up in Yosemite, California (Yes, Really) and spent my adult life in Portland, Oregon and grew my love for IPA’s and adventure. I’m a fixer when it comes to most anything in my life. I’m always looking to help people. Need me to sew on a button on your wedding day? I gotchu! Need me to grab Mcdonalds on the way to the ceremony? I gotchu! Need me to bust out some bomb photos in fifteen minutes because you want to get back to your party?! I GOTCHU! Now let’s grab a beer together and talk about those wedding plans!

Rachel was absolutely amazing - I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a (family) photographer! Getting in touch with her and setting a date for the shoot, she was really easy to communicate with. During the shoot she was really relaxed and friendly and great with our kids. She made us all feel really at ease. We received our photos superfast and most importantly, we were SUPEREXCITED about the result. Gorgeous photos that we will treasure forever ...

I am really happy with Rachel's pictures! She made us all feel at ease which resulted in beautiful, natural pictures. She manages to create a very dreamy and romantic atmosphere in her work; I love it. On top of that she is fast. I would definitely recommend her!

It was a wonderful experience! The time we spent with you was comfortable and easy. The pictures we ended up with were such a nice compilation of shots and expressions. It really was a depiction of real life rather than it feeling staged.

"You are the best! LOVE our pictures. I especially love the way you work with color and that the pictures together tell little stories."

"I saw Rachels work when a friend showed some pictures Rachel took and I loved them and immediately knew I wanted Rachel to take pictures of my family. We went to a nice place and walked there around for a while with our children and played on the playground. While we were walking and playing Rachel took the most beautiful pictures. Within a few days she send us the pictures. She was very pleasant to work with and I’m sure I’m going to ask her again to take our family pictures."
