What Barb’s Clients Say

Marie H.

Barb did an amazing job with our daughter’s senior pictures. She was so creative and patient with us. We are forever appreciative. Time goes so fast and these are such amazing memories.

Joan Z.

I have never had any photos of myself that even came close to the photos that Barb took. She works extremely hard to get the most natural photo. I’ve watched her take photos of kids and she so engages them that their photos are amazing. I also know no other photographer who offers so many settings (from pasture to creek to town to studio) at no extra charge. She is amazing and her fees are way too low.

Kathleen B.

Barb did an amazing job fixing a family photo for us. It was done within a few days and you would never know it had been ripped. So pleased.

Colleen D.

I have known Barb for many years, so when she started her photography business, it was natural for me to request a photo shoot with her for pictures of my growing family. The experience far exceeded my expectations. Barb made it look effortless to gather ten people from age 3 months to grandparents in a small area and have us all looking in the same direction to take pictures, and we did this for numerous backgrounds and scenarios. Barb was patient and kept everyone feeling at ease and engaged. The shoot felt more like a family outing we had so much fun. I was especially impressed with her attention to detail, imaginative poses and exceptional professionalism. I loved how well the portraits turned out. Thank you, Barb for the lasting treasures!

Elegant, tasteful, and unique photographs that capture the true essence of a snapshot in time. Barb Rathbun chooses to take her photographs in an organic setting and uses the natural glow from the sun to her great advantage. You can tell that her subjects feel very comfortable when she is working on their piece, their expressions are always radiant and unforced. She edits her photos using innovative new technology and meticulously takes the time to enhance her work until perfection. They are balanced, tell a story, and give us an appreciation of the breathtaking landscapes that Barb visits. I cannot wait until I get married so that Barb can be my photographer!

Sandy K.

We have worked with Barb for many years.  We have always been pleased with the results.  Barb is a very accommodating and professional photographer.  Her patience is amazing! She is open to any suggestions for groupings or sites “to shoot”.  Her use of our natural surroundings adds much to the pictures she takes.  She definitely has “an eye” for what works best
