Hi, I’m Rachel. I’m an Aussie transplant and professional food photographer based in Vancouver, Canada. My work has been featured by Fresh Magazine and Aldi, as well as other publications around the world. I’m also a huge foodie (Asian dishes are my favourite) and traveller.

Years ago when I was travelling, I met my now-husband Matt in Glacier National Park, and he introduced me to photography. While I had always loved food and being creative, things started clicking for me when I sought out to combine my two big loves: food and photography. I bought every food magazine and book I could get my hands on, and over the last decade I worked part-time while teaching myself everything I could. This meant lots of trying (and lots of failing) so I could share the very best of what works (and why) here, on Two Loves Studio.

This space is where I get to capture visual stories and create bright, clean, and uplifting imagery that emphasizes the beauty of real food. I love to focus on the honest details and intricacies that connect us emotionally to food. Two Loves Studio is also how I share my love of teaching (my old 9–5) and real-life experience. I design all my coursework and blog content to go beyond the basics of your last online search: how to build dishes (not just cook them), style still-life scenes from the ground up, and light, compose and edit food photos like a pro.

My hope is that you follow Two Loves Studio to get all the resources you need to realize your own vision, and come back again and again to continue to evolve as an artist and creative.

When I’m not behind the camera or creating new course content, you can find me travelling with Matt, eating all the Asian-fusion I can get my hands on, cooking chicken soup, and sending fist-bump emojis to friends.

Currently I’m obsessing over Whiskey Sour Photography.

On my travel list is Yosemite and Japan. I’ve most recently visited Italy. See my Italian colour story.
