Helping Out Your Future Self

This episode is a first! I”m so excited to have my first client guest on the podcast. And as any teacher worth their salt will say, we always learn from our students. I love the nuggets that Rachel shared in this episode especially about learning from others. From mama-ing her four kiddos to diving in and learning from all walks of life. Rachel is a genuine lady who makes who laugh and feel like a million. She’s a photographer, mama, wife and keeps it real with her messy bun and coffee in hand. My kinda of lady. I think you’ll enjoy this gem of a person!

Show Notes

Rachel Gaetz is a Twin Cities portrait photographer who is based out of Hudson, WI. Her business Ray & Grace Photography specializes in family portraits, wedding photography, and boudoir photography. She thrives on creating candid, joyful imagery and prides herself on conducting her sessions in a way that's fast, fun, and actually enjoyable.

Rachel is originally from Oak Lawn, IL and moved to Minnesota to attend the University of Minnesota. She earned a degree in journalism and also found herself a husband while in college. Shortly after getting married and becoming a mom to her first daughter Cecelia, she started a blog documenting her little family's life. That blog eventually spurred a successful photography business and her family grew to include four kids.

On any given day, she has a coffee in hand, a baby on her hip, and a big messy bun on her head... after all there's work to be done and a big, beautiful life to enjoy. When not photographing clients, she enjoys reading, cooking dancing, pretending to be a home design expert, and wine and coffee of course (not mixed together).

What is The Visibility Podcast?

Welcome to The Visibility Podcast: for business owners who are ready to grow on purpose.

Hosted by Melissa Rose, studio owner and creator of the Visibility Blueprint, this show explores the real strategies behind sustainable, profitable growth.

If your marketing feels inconsistent, your sales unpredictable, or your business feels stuck despite doing “all the things,” you’re in the right place.

On this podcast, we'll talk visibility, obviously, but we'll also go deeper. Through expert guests and real conversations, we unpack sales strategy, financial awareness, team leadership, and the backend systems that keep small businesses thriving.

From Google Business Profile optimization to website and social media audits to simplifying your offers, I help you identify what’s actually working in your business, and what’s just keeping you busy. And busy? Busy is a four-letter word.

This isn’t surface-level marketing advice. This is about understanding what’s truly driving revenue in your small business, and what’s just noise.

Whether you run a brick-and-mortar storefront, a local service-based business, or a hybrid model, visibility is the foundation of sustainable growth.

Let’s make your business "The Best in Town!"
