Heron Bath Time

Over the years Rachelle has always had an interest in photography of all kinds. She is rarely seen without her camera. Through her work as a media specialist then as a high school communication technology teacher Rachelle developed and learned more about the making of photos. Since retiring in 2020, most of her time is spent in the Kawartha Lakes area capturing images while out kayaking, hiking or sometimes just driving around. Nothing makes Rachelle happier than getting outside and capturing the beauty around us each and every day.

Rachelle was featured on the Weather Network in March 2021 for their Candid Closeup series. She has had her photographs published in the Nature Canada Calendar, Green Party Calendar and multiple other publications including a 2nd place finish in the Share Your Canada (Reader’s digest) Photo contest in 2023 and a judges’ pick in the Living Lakes Biodiversity contest.

Rachelle also placed second in the Cottage Life photo contest in 2023 in the wildlife category. In May 2023, Rachelle had her first solo photo exhibition at the Kawartha Art Gallery, Shorelife on Scugog.

Photography is about you, what you like, what inspires you and what you want to share with the world. These moments that we capture hold meaning for each of us. The tricks of the trade that help photographers solidify those moments are not secrets and through the sharing of Rachelle’s work, she hopes to provide some useful tips and inspiration to helping others make great photos.
