HI, I'm Raecine!

THE HUMAN BEHIND THE CAMERA

I’m a San Antonio photographer, lifelong artist, and chronic starter of new creative projects.

Outside of photography, I’m usually making something with my hands, searching for live music, or finding an excuse to be outdoors.

I approach photography the same way I approach every art form I love: curious, hands-on, open to experimentation, and always learning. I’m drawn to intimacy in all its forms, including vulnerability, trust, affection, and the courage it takes to let yourself be seen.

I love creating with people who are open-minded and a little unconventional. At the center of everything I make is connection. Every body, identity, story, and kind of love is welcome here.

In Their Words

"Absolutely loved my experience with Raecine! She listened to everything I wanted and deep dived into my "why" behind the shoot. The entire experience was comfortable and fun. The results were exactly what I was looking for. She is truly talented and cares about bringing your vision to life. I can't wait to work with her again!"

— Daphne F.

“Absolutely the best photographer I’ve worked with. Raecine is kind, patient, friendly, and always looking for the best shots. She goes above and beyond to get good angles. She saw an opportunity to take photos from outside my window of a second story apartment and jumped at the opportunity. I definitely recommend booking Raecine for your next photoshoot. She’s the only photographer I work with!”

— Kimberly G.

“Raecine took the most beautiful wedding pictures. She really encapsulated the love my husband and I have for each other. They were so romantic, and captured the essence of our relationship.”

— Maria M.

“Raecine did my surprise engagement pictures and our wedding! she managed to catch everything ... like all the big emotional moments and those tiny little ones we didn’t even notice were happening til we saw the photos.
The pictures turned out better than we could’ve hoped! beautiful, real, not overly posed or overly edited. She captured the actual feeling of the day, which is exactly what we wanted
Seriously can’t recommend her enough :)”

— Rosa Marina

“Raecine is a sweet, professional, caring person who makes sure to go out of her way to capture your special moments. I will always use her for my family's photography needs!”

— Sam M.

“First off wow! Raecine was so responsive and helpful from start to finish. She gave me suggestions and even help with the setup and made it feel so personal. The photos were absolutely AMAZING, the quality was great.”

— Devin K.

“If I could give Raecine more than 5 stars I would! She was extremely quick to respond to my inquiries, punctual, and very kind. She did my husband and I’s photo shoot and I LOVED every single photo that was taken. I’ve never been comfortable in front of a camera until Raecine. I got my photos back super quick which was also a HUGE bonus because I was so excited to see them!”

— Gianna B.

“Raecine was a true professional! The entire experience of having her shoot for my wedding was easy and fun. She truly cares about her clients and the work that she does, and it shows! I can't say enough good things about her. I will definitely book her for all my future photoshoots!”

— Amber T.
