YOUR NEW FAVORITE THIRD WHEEL
RACHEL MRUCZKEWYCZ
Owner/Photographer
Favorite color: green, of course!
Favorite season: summer - late sunsets, road trips, and gardening! I'm also a July baby. ☀️
Office assistants: a cat and a golden retriever who love keeping me company in the office. 🐾
During my time off: I'm with my boyfriend, Chase (who is also my drone operator/second shooter!) and my pets. We're usually outside enjoying our patio or going for walks down by the river.
I'm obsessed with: my morning coffee, Converse sneakers, plants (lots and lots of plants...)
How I Got Here:
I didn’t grow up knowing I’d be a photographer - but I did grow up paying attention. To the light through the trees. To how people laugh when they’re not looking. To the quiet beauty of everyday moments.
My journey really started with a borrowed Kodak point-and-shoot from my mom. I was in the backyard and wanted to take a picture of my childhood dog, so she let me use her camera. I didn’t know what I was doing at first, but something about capturing what I saw - the real, unposed, fleeting stuff - just clicked. It was so exciting to me. Over time, that curiosity turned into a calling. I saved up all my money at 15 years old and purchased my first DSLR - a Canon Rebel T3.
Now, years later, I’m lucky enough to turn that passion into my full-time job. I photograph real people, in real light, in the places they feel most like themselves. Whether I’m documenting a couple’s mountaintop “I do,” a family’s afternoon adventure, or a brand that’s growing with heart - I’m always chasing the same thing: warmth, connection, and a little bit of magic.
I am so grateful to have found my calling, especially at such a young age. This journey brings me so much happiness, and I'm so glad you're here for the ride. ❤️

The Glow-Up Is Real
A Look Back at Where I Started
We all start somewhere - and honestly, I’m proud of every step. These early photos were taken with
very little experience and knowledge, but a whole lotta heart and enthusiasm.
Here’s a little then-vs-now moment:
Every photo I took back then taught me something that shapes how I shoot today - how to work with light, how to read a moment, how to make people feel comfortable. Growth is a great thing!
