About Rachel Elizabeth Photography

About Rachel

I am Rachel Elizabeth Mostofizadeh and I currently live in Arizona with my pilot husband and two children. We have dogs named Marvel and Toast and we move a lot (but maybe not anymore?). I grew up in New Hampshire with my 3 awesome siblings. My childhood was adventurous and muddy and crazy and loud. I have since lived in Seattle, Chicago, campgrounds across the US and a Toyota Camry, Tucson (twice), LA, Florida (twice), Ixtapa Mexico, Boston, Las Vegas (twice), New Hampshire again, and now Phoenix. With this, I am able to service areas all over the US and frequently do make week-long trips. Feel free to email me to see when and if I will be in your area.I fell in love with photography when I was a teenager. I got my first Pentax K1000 when I was 16 and took my first photo class that same year. At the time I was obsessed with the band REM and I was really taken with the work of Anton Corbijn, a photographer that worked with them often. My art and my photography have since largely been inspired by him and by the work of Andrew Wyeth the painter. I am constantly growing as a photographer and can often be found at my computer late at night taking online classes, reading tutorials, and watching how-to videos.

Testimonials

Having family photos taken by Rachel was a fantastic experience. The entire session was enjoyable and we all felt relaxed and comfortable. The photos are beautiful and it was a good mix of formal and playful poses.

Jeri Keoghan

Rachel is an incredible photographer. She captures our family in such a fun and natural way by allowing us to have fun and be candid. She is so kind, easy going, and creative with how to capture everyone in the right light and setting. She also knows how to do photoshoots with young kids. Our toddler just runs around and somehow she captures amazing portrait shots of him that we will cherish forever.

Sarah Allin

Rachel was great. She is a very sweet person, she is very reasonable and work with you. I love that about her. My son was very comfortable during the shoot. He talked and laughed. He doesn’t always do that on his first encounter with someone. Thanks you Rachel!

Tyletha Thomas

Rachel was wonderful! She was patient with us and so kind. We booked an engagement session and had never had professional photos so we’re unsure how to pose. Rachel made sure we always looked great and got the best pictures. It wasn’t awkward and felt so natural! The pictures came out absolutely perfect! She really paid attention to what was important to us and never made us feel rushed! Everything was amazing! Highly recommend!!

Kathryn Roberts

We love working with Rachel! We used her for our newborn session and also family pictures most recently. The session was laid back and fun. The pictures are beautiful! I am so happy that she captured my children’s smiles and personalities at their young ages (infant and toddler). We look forward to working with her again!

Katie Fuller

Rachel is absolutely amazing. From setting up an appointment to getting the final pictures. Plus she was great with my daughter who hates to take pictures. If I could give her more stars I would.
