"Rachel did an amazing job with our maternity shoot! She knew the right poses and angles to really capture a special moment for us. This is our first child so it was important for us to have these memories captured. The shoot process was simple and the final editing came back quickly and expertly done. Highly recommend her services. We can't wait to use her for our newborn photos!"

The Tampa Bay's Premier Motherhood Photographer


Capturing light,Love,moments and Everything in between.


Welcome to Rachel Joan Photography, where I offer a premium and empowering experience for your Maternity, Newborn, and Motherhood sessions in Tampa, FL. My profound passion lies in motherhood, and my primary focus is to capture the genuine connection and emotions in each photograph. The journey into and through motherhood is a remarkable one, replete with diverse stages and sentiments. My aim is to capture those moments that you wish to fondly revisit for years to come. Preserving these memories is an invaluable gift to your family, and I assure you that you will never regret having these portraits.


As a mother of two young children, I wholeheartedly understand the significance of these fleeting moments. I also recognize that adding another task to your already extensive "to-do" list during pregnancy or motherhood can be daunting. For this reason, I have meticulously crafted an exclusive, stress-free experience tailored to your needs. Allow me to alleviate a burden from your responsibilities and provide you with the session of your dreams.
