Hi, I’m Rachel Haggerty. I’m a freelance photographer, social media marketer, and what the kids are calling nowadays a “creative”. I currently live and work in Northwest Michigan along the coast of Lake Michigan. Going to college in Marquette, Michigan and now living on the edge of Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore, a lot of my inspiration is drawn from my natural surroundings. My work centers around community, connection, and storytelling.
I love collaborating with local businesses, artists, and folks, to tell their story and bring their vision to life in the most authentic way possible. I believe the best moments worth documenting are naturally occurring. If you’re looking for narrative-driven, documentary-style photos of your life, business, or anything in between, I’m your gal.
When I’m not working, you can find me outdoors embracing our four-season playground. I enjoy biking, skiing, surfing, rollerblading, hiking, sewing, cooking, and spending time outside with my partner, Reiss and our dog. I describe myself as a "leisure athlete" and an advocate for type 2 fun. I'm just happy to be there, especially if a good pint and a good time are involved.
Thanks for being here. Cheers!
