Van Der Linde :: Rachel Boekel Photography ::
As I’ve mentioned in past posts, I am moving in the direction of lifestyle documentary photography. This is definitely not new to me as I studied photo journalism in school, worked in newspapers and interned at Magnum in NYC. All of this was with the focus on documentary photography, so it feels really natural for […]
The Growing Summach / Berg Clan :: Rachel Boekel Photography ::
We have been very lucky to call the Berg Family friends for many years now and every time we turn off of the Range Road and onto the Broadview Ranches long driveway and down into their carefully considered, tree-ed in homestead, it feels like you are being drawn into a very special place. Sarah and […]

Rachel Boekel Photography :: For the Love of Family ::
This session is really important to me. It’s important because it’s full of love, and also real life.

The Terris Crew :: Brooks Alberta Photographer ::
This was such a joyous impromptu session and it everything about it worked out magically. I’m not sure if you can see those golden leaves, creating dappled lighting with the late evening sun? Yes, it was special. THEN, insert the Terris crew. We chased, we ran, we twirled and we laughed. How can you not […]
