Rachelle Lerude is a Photographer based in North Carolina.

I’m a photographer with a heart for adventure, community, and food.

My passion lies in telling meaningful food stories — the kind that celebrate the land, the hands that tend it, and the meals that bring us together. My dream is to travel the world, capturing these stories, partnering with businesses and organizations of all sizes to promote a more sustainable, connected culture.
