Treasure your life's precious moments with photos you love.
Motherhood is a special chapter in your life. It's important to photograph these memories so you can treasure them for a lifetime.
Serving families in the Minnesota Twin Cities area.
I’m Rachael Wendt, a maternity, newborn, baby, and family photographer in Hugo, Minnesota.
Thank you for being here and considering me to photograph this special time in your life! I am always honored when clients choose me for such important milestones. As a mother myself, I value the importance of documenting these fleeting moments.
I'm inspired by neutral soft colors, natural lifestyle moments, bright abundant light and minimalism. These things create timeless portraits and art that will stand the test of time.
I'm so glad you made your way to my website, use the arrows to learn more about me and the Rachael Wendt Photography Experience!
Hello there!
The time spent planning for your session can be time consuming and intimidating.
That’s why I’ve created an experience to help you with each step of the process. From wardrobe selection to using your portraits for albums, framed prints on your walls or baby announcements.
I am here to ensure it is all a seamless process and you do as little of it as possible.

The Experience
My family is the most important thing to me. We value quality time together, being outdoors on our farm, and our faith.
As I've watched my son grow, I have an even greater appreciation for photos we have to help me treasure and remember each chapter of his life.
It is such a joy to see how his personality changes as he explores, learns and grows. I'm so grateful I have photos that reflect this.
I love being able to help other moms remember the joys and chapters of motherhood by creating photographs and art for their home they love.

Rachael has been absolutely amazing for us! She did our maternity photos, newborn and family photos and I couldn't be more happy with them! She is so good with babies and super patient. You can tell she adores what she does and truly loves capturing these moments for families. I am so thankful she has the option to print photos as well because as a mom it's easy to forget to print them! I would recommend Rachael over and over again!

Rachael was fantastic to work with for our family photo session. She is laid back, patient and all around fun to work with - which was essential when trying to capture little smiles on an active one year old! Our session was so fun, and there was no rush to get through it either, which again is important with the kiddos. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She delivered a high quality gallery (so many amazing photos to choose from!) in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Rachael for your next photography session!

I never write reviews, but I was blown away with Rachael’s talent! She is laid back, patient and professional. She took her time photographing our newborn and really has a knack for taking natural photos. She was super flexible with coming to our home for the sessions and communicated throughout the entire process. I have always found taking pictures to be awkward, but she made me feel comfortable and was able to capture beautiful photos. Rachael’s dedication and passion for photography really does shine through each one of her photos. She was a joy to work with and you can tell she really does enjoy what she does! We are excited to have her booked for our 6 month and 1 year photos for our daughter!

We had a maternity session and newborn photos done by Rachael and we are so glad to have them! She is talented and professional, was fun and easy going to work with, and created a very comfortable and natural environment that allowed us to be ourselves. She was able to capture beautiful moments in time we will cherish, including timeless candid photos that are beautiful framed and proudly displayed on our walls. I would recommend Rachael for any photography need. We are beyond impressed with her!
