hi there! I'm Rach.
La Crosse Wisconsin Wedding Photographer + Destination Elopement Photographer
My super power is bringing out your joyful moments that are true to YOU
I NEVER ask to fake a moment. Absolutely not.
Moments will be captured as they unfold while helping prompt and guide you on how to make your day the best it can be. I’ve been told I have a way of making people feel comfortable, welcomed, and become instant friends, and that is no different in our experience together!
Posing
I use my own Rachel Traxler Posing method which is what gives my photos the natural, realistic, joyful, and warm vibe.
Every couple is different, so every session is customized directly to YOU. For example, I don’t tell you to just hold hands and look at each other, I help prompt customized directions that will only make sense for you two to bring out your true joy and emotion. This is why every session is so different and it’s impossible to be “bad” at taking photos!
So don’t worry, I WILL MAKE YOU LOOK FREAKIN AWESOME, I PROMISE.
trust
You have permission to trust me fully. I do this for YOU and promise to help make your day laid back.
With a decade of experience in the industry and photographing, I know how to find the best locations, best lighting, and get the best photos. My goal for you is to enjoy your day fully and not worry about a thing come your wedding day, because we have already done all the prep ahead of time.
This is your day to enjoy, I got you.
LET'S GO!
