Hi, I’m Rachel Tortolero, and this photo sums up the reason that I started Hacienda Photography. I have always loved taking photos but I primarily focused on travel photography until I had my sons. From the moment I found out that I was pregnant with twins, it felt like time sped up. All of the sudden, I was a mom of two and my family had doubled in size. They grew before my eyes, changing so much from day to day. Before I knew it, they were crawling. I realized how fleeting these moments were and I wanted to not only capture those moment for my family, but for other families as well.

My goal is to make every photo session fun and personalized. I want to laugh with your kids, reduce your stress, and take amazing photos. Why? Because as a mom, as a wife, and heck, just as a woman, that is what I would want from a photographer.

So, let me help you make memories and capture these moments. They’ll be gone in a blink, but a photo lasts forever.
