“She made me feel completely at ease, and she added so much joy to our day. The photos turned out beautiful, and she made me feel so confident, even as someone who typically shies away from the camera. Thank you, Rebekah!”
Style & Editing
Rebekah likes to keep it real. With a “documentary style” approach to photography, she is known for her ability to capture the sights, sounds, colors, and emotions of a moment in one little photo. Specializing in the use of natural light whenever possible, Rebekah’s photos and editing style preserve the purity of a moment as it really was, so you’ll never forget.
“We ended up choosing [Rebekah] after interviewing a couple of photographers because we love her editing style. The pictures came back looking so natural and real. Now, as we look back at the photos, those moments feel genuine.”
Experience
With over two decades of experience and hundreds of photoshoots under her belt, she has seen – and is prepared for – it all. (Seriously, all of it.) Whether an unexpected snag at a wedding, or a crying toddler at a family photoshoot, Rebekah’s ability to navigate any situation with ease will leave you able to kick back and enjoy the moment.
Approach
With clients both young & old, and from every background, Rebekah’s relaxed approach eliminates the pressure everyone tends to feel when being photographed. While taking a largely candid approach, Rebekah will gently guide and direct you to create the best photo arrangements and natural poses. (Not sure what to do with your hands? She’s got you covered!) The result is confident customers and photographs full of emotion & the real you.
“Beyond taking a few family photos, we didn’t have much direction for Rebekah, so she came up with some great ideas and her creativity paid off. She took some truly amazing candids throughout the night…She captured us perfectly!”
Creative Marketing
With photography at the center of her work, Rebekah also specializes in creative marketing – from business& personal branding, logos, web design, SEO, social media and beyond. With a passion to meet business owners, learn their story and share it with the world, Rebekah brings businesses’ brand stories – both young and old – to life with stunning photography, skillful design and content creation. She loves watching her clients’ businesses flourish. And if her work just so happens to lead her to a delicious local craft brew or the “it” new venue in town, well, that’s just another perk of the job.
“I contacted Rebekah as I was prepping to launch my first business… I had no idea how to ‘brand’ myself, but Rebekah asked me all kinds of questions to guide me…Rebekah is a great problem solver and thought of all the little details I didn’t know I should consider!”
Rebekah serves as President of the Maine Professional Photographers Association, is an avid lover of music & travel, and an unapologetic foodie. She holds a BA in New Media (Digital Arts) with minors in Public Relations, TV & Video from the University of Maine (UMaine) and continuously advances her skillset by organizing and attending photography workshops throughout Maine. When not behind the camera, you’re most likely to find her at the opening night of a local restaurant with her husband, exploring a new concert venue, or at the neighborhood skatepark cheering on her son.
Rebekah received 2024 Maine Reportage (Photojournalism) Photographer of the Year Award, Wedding Wire’s 2020 Couple’s Choice Award and Zola’s Best of 2023 Award. Her work has been featured on The Knot and others.
While located in Augusta, Maine, Rebekah travels all over the state for work.
