  • Sweet 16 Photos

    “Rachel’s sunny disposition is downright infectious, and I watched her create an enjoyable, stress-free environment while photographing my daughter. Any insecurities my teenager may have had flew right out the window as she leaned into Rachel's positivity. The joy they created during that experience was evident, not only during the shoot, but also in the images created, as it was evident that my daughter felt comfortable, confident and carefree. I can't say enough positive things about Rachel and her exquisite talent, not only behind the lens but also in how she communicates with her clients and makes them feel comfortable during what could otherwise be a stressful situation. On a score of 1-10, Rachel is a 12!" — Megan Bowman (Mother of Three Daughters, Ages 20, 16 and 14)

  • Nonprofit Event

    “Rachel Yatteau is as talented a photographer as she is a delight to work with. We hosted a 500+ person outdoor event in May, and Rachel thought of everything before our event to ensure she delivered beautiful, timely, and diverse images for us. She took the time to understand what subject matter was important to us to capture, what product and promotional shots for our sponsors might be appreciated, and what look and feel we wanted her photographs to capture. To say she did an incredible job is an understatement. She made multiple site visits prior to our event to understand the lighting; she attended a pre-event committee meeting to get a better sense of our mission for the event and all of the activities we'd planned for the evening; she even purchased an umbrella hat to wear on her head because our forecast called for rain! If you're looking for a creative, talented, thoughtful, professional, look no further than Rachel Yatteau.” — Shelley M.

  • Professional Headshots

She will be my go to photographer from this point forward. “ — Lauren

She also grabbed great shots of the kitchen staff and chef creating their magic. She was pleasant, friendly and worked wonderfully with our customers, interacting professionally with a smile. We cannot thank her enough for these beautiful memories. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Rachel!” — Bemir, owner Aberdeen Steakhouse

  • Corporate Brand Photography & Headshots

    “We were fortunate enough to enlist the help of Rachel to shoot both corporate headshots and group photos during our recent rebranding. Given our line of business and having never done this previously, our staff was hesitant about the process. Rachel’s personality, professionalism, and prep work in advance helped everyone feel at ease upon arrival and made the process more relaxed than we could have imagined. She was able to get so many great shots that we had a hard time deciding which ones to use for our website and profiles. Not only was the photo shoot a breeze, but Rachel was able to help us narrow down which images to use, and share formats easy to use for various mediums. We’ve already recommended Rachel to others and definitely plan to use her for future marketing campaigns. — Bobbi Seymour

Speaking of packages, Rachel is the total package.” — Stephanie Butler

Her humor made my boys laugh, and she captured the most genuine smiles! Our pictures have always turned great and it’s wonderful to have a photographer who can capture special moments throughout the years. I’m a customer for life!” — Ambrea

Hi, I’m Rachel Yatteau. It’s great to meet you!

I’m an Atlanta native who is lucky enough to reside in Milton, GA. I started my photography career in high school with an advanced photography course and once I got my first real film camera, I became obsessed in capturing the sparkle in every person.

In college, I majored in Communications (maybe because I thought I would get to talk to people all day?), After getting married and starting a family, I adapted to the evolving technology in the photography industry. But as social media and editing apps grew, I noticed a decline in people's self-esteem, which became concerning. I thought, ‘People are now so self-conscious. How can I take pictures and make sure people feel good about themselves throughout the whole process?’

I will provide you with an enjoyable experience from start to finish and your pictures will exactly what you are looking for. From booking your shoot, to tips on what to wear, to posing every body type to making sure you enjoy yourself, all the way to fantastic photos, that is my more than just a photo mentality!

Capturing your photos is important to me.

When you’re in front of my camera, it’s an energizing, uplifting, and FUN experience. I’ll guide you through posing, and outfits, and talk to you about the process the whole time (shocker, I have been told I talk a lot!). Maybe I talk too much, but I promise you won’t even realize I’m coaching you through a wonderful session.  Did I say we would have fun?

And at the end of your session, you’ll walk away feeling empowered with awesome photos in hand. And you’ll realize your final product is more than just a photo.  You feel a little better about getting your photos done, and you’ll see the sparkle in your photos that so many others admire even when you can’t see it.

My true interest is making you feel and look good in your photos while enjoying the process.  Nothing makes me feel as good as helping my clients realize how amazing they are and giving them gorgeous photos to prove it.  You will experience my “More than just a photo” business mentality, I promise!

My vintage camera collection… includes cameras from WW1 to a 1950s Polaroid. (Long before photoshop!)
