Biography
Aside from being a speck of dust in the big picture, I am a creature of creating little visuals that take up a big space in your heart & my hard drive.
In the business of a multitude of unconventional visual arts. Whether I'm photographing a band, directing a video, or setting the stage for an otherworldly portrait, my approach is storytelling with intensity. I'm here for the ones who embrace the unusual. From our first conversation to the final delivery, I believe in creating an immersive experience. Let's make art that disrupts and delights.
Creatively inspired by time travel, kitsch, psychedelic art, psychological thrillers and horror.
I’m a Capricorn & the shoes fit:
“Capricorn is intelligent & detail-oriented. Their hard working attitude is an inspiration to all, and they truly believe they can achieve anything with hard work. Capricorn is always ready to learn new skills, and sees something they don’t know—like changing a tire or boiling the perfect egg—as a challenge they must undertake. This attitude makes them a master of all trades
Capricorns love family, and put a lot of stock in traditions. A Capricorn might stress themselves out trying to do everything perfectly.
They believe that they truly can do anything, and they will dig in and get it done, no matter how exhausting or tedious the task. Capricorn will stay up all night if necessary and are almost superhuman in terms of being able to ignore exhaustion and laser focus on the task at hand.” - horoscope.com

Testimonials
“Rae was incredible from the beginning. From their payment plans to their vibe during the shoot. Rae hyped me up and made me feel so incredibly beautiful for my first boudoir shoot. I absolutely adore them and will be working with them again! I have recommended working with Rae to friends and I recommend anyone reading this to take that jump. You won’t regret it!”
“Very comfortable and enjoyable experience all around. My husband and I are not great with serious photos and Rae helped us every step of the way without it feeling stiff or unnatural. She was more than happy to guide us through and get photos that we will have forever to commemorate such an amazing time in our lives. We gave her a rough idea of a concept we were thinking we would like and she made it better than we could have ever imagined. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Working with Rae has always been easy. Which is difficult for those of us who don’t really know what we’re doing in front of the lens. Her direction feels right for whatever experience you’d like created. Aside from professionalism, punctuality and poise: her personality is welcoming alongside pricing fairly. Investing in Rae Mystic productions is a no brainer for your creativity. ”
“I’ve never worked with a more efficient photographer. Rae goes above and beyond when it comes to collaborating and planning your perfect photoshoot. They never left our band out of the process and had strong professional opinions that gave us the confidence before the shoot even happened that our session would be beautiful and unique. At the shoot, Rae was a joy to work with, made us all feel comfortable, and listened to what we wanted, while guiding us to get the best photos possible with our large and busy group. They returned the edited photos to us so quickly, it was hard to believe! The pictures are the best we’ve ever had. ”
“Rae has excellent communication, great at meeting deadlines, and just all around very professional. On site, Rae creates a fun and stress free environment — which is a huge plus, especially if it’s your first ever photo shoot.”
“I’ve done 5 or 6 shoots with Rae now, and let me say first off that the pictures I’ve gotten from them are some of the best I’ve ever gotten. They always get great lighting and angles, and know exactly what to touch up afterwards. During the sessions Rae has always been extremely nice, welcoming and efficient. I don’t usually feel comfortable in front of a camera, but I always feel comfortable whenever Rae takes my pictures! I highly recommend working with Rae!”
“Rae is amazing - typically I don’t like having my pictures taken as I feel super awkward and self conscious. However, Rae made me feel comfortable, confident, and most importantly, like I could be myself! Rae came extremely prepared and even took the time to message with me the week before my shoot, working with me to choose backdrops and outfits, which I appreciated so much. They brought a wonderful energy to the shoot and it was an amazing experience. I’m so happy with the finished product, the photos are all I could hope for and more!! I would recommend Rae to anyone and I hope I get the opportunity to shoot with them again in the future!”
