Rachel Rayne has specialized exclusively in newborn photography since 2010, building a reputation across the greater Tampa Bay area as both a working photographer and a trainer of other newborn photographers. Her studio sits in downtown Plant City, about 20 minutes from Tampa, and is purpose-built for newborn sessions — soft natural light, neutral backdrops, and a client closet stocked with gowns from size 0 to 26.
What sets Rachel apart is the depth of her specialization: rather than shooting weddings or events alongside newborns, she has spent 16 years narrowly focused on safe newborn posing, and photographers travel from around the world to be trained by her in the technique. She works with an assistant on every session specifically to keep the baby’s safety and comfort constant while she composes each pose.
Rachel is a proud member of the Professional Photographers of America and was recognized by Expertise.com as one of Tampa’s best newborn photographers in 2019, along with being published multiple times in online photography magazines. She typically photographs babies within their first 7-14 days, though she’ll work with newborns up to 6 weeks old.
For Tampa-area families who want a specialist rather than a generalist — someone whose entire 16-year career has centered on newborn safety and posing — Rachel Rayne Photography stands out.
