My name is Rachael (with an ae, like Michael), and I live in Newport, KY (across the river from Cincinnati, OH). I was born and raised in Louisville, KY.

I mostly make photographs—with the occasional book/zine/pamphlet. I spend most of my time photographing people, deer, and black dogs. My interests are folklore, ecology, and epigenetics.

I have an MFA and work full-time as an Associate Professor. I am available for projects. This website contains a condensed selection of my work.

You can contact me for my CV or any other inquiries. I am reluctantly on social media. If it takes a minute to hear back from me, I’m fishing or at the race car track.
