Olsson

With more than three decades behind the lens, Rachel is a visual storyteller working across a wide variety of genres, including food, travel, fashion and editorial photography. Whether capturing the energy of fashion shoots, the elegance of luxury resorts, or the vibrant textures of gourmet food, Rachel’s work blends technical skill with a creative eye.
A graduate of the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Rachel began her career mastering film photography before embracing the digital transition. This unique foundation gives her a deep understanding of both traditional and modern techniques, allowing her to seamlessly adapt to any studio or location project. Utilizing lighting, composition, and prop styling, she is able to combine all these elements together to create on-brand imagery.
Rachel was the Director of Photography and a regular contributor for Wailea Magazine for more than ten years, helping to shape its visual identity. Her client list includes top brands like Four Seasons Resorts, Nordstrom, Eddie Bauer, SanMar & Tommy Bahama, and she is a corporate-approved photographer for ACCOR Hotels. Her editorial work has appeared in Conde Nast, Food & Wine, Seattle Homes and Lifestyles, Savvy360, Hawaii and Hana Hou Magazines, among many others.
For Rachel, photography is about more than creating beautiful images — it’s about telling stories, building lasting connections, and collaborating with other professionals. Above all, she believes that “The joy is evident when you’re doing what you love; work becomes play. I am lucky to do what I LOVE - with amazingly talented teams.”
