I picked up a camera for the FIRST TIME, four years ago, almost to the day. I was a stay at home mom to 8 month old twins, with a dream to help provide for my family, while being able to stay home with my babies.
I opened a photography business with NO knowledge or insight of what the heck I was doing; a whim, a mustard seed of faith 🙏🏻
What Rachel Collins Photography, LLC has given me since October 2022, is unreal. I have poured so much of myself into my business, constantly learning and growing in a skill I didn’t even know I had, but am so thankful I put a little bit of faith into it.
I didn’t walk away with the Ultimate Win, but is it an honor to place in the TOP 3, as a finalist in a field I struggled to believe I even had a place in.
I got to share the Best of the Best 2026 evening with my family by my side, my husband and my children. I know how proud they are and how hard I’ve worked to get here, and it all started, because of two little baby faces 💙💜.
And to my incredible, truly incredible clients, I couldn’t place in the top, without you. I am truly thankful, so honored, and still a little in disbelief to be honest. 🥹🥹🥹 thank you for choosing me and allowing me to be a small part of YOUR story!
THANK YOU CHEYENNE, maybe next year 😘♥️
(we got zero pictures haha, the irony sometimes).
