Rachel Hogancamp
Owner
Rachel Hogancamp is the owner of The Waterfront Cafe and the Founder and Managing Partner of [Rasa Spa](https://www.rasaspa.com/), in partnership with Island Health & Fitness. She is an Ithaca-based photographer with a deep passion for capturing nature and wildlife.
Rachel's journey into photography began after she graduated from Ithaca College in 1991. Over the years, she honed her skills photographing actors, musicians and artists. In 2016, after successful breast cancer treatment, she rediscovered her love of capturing birds in flight.
What began as a healing process and a form of meditation has grown into a beautiful artistic pursuit. Rachel now regularly takes her camera across the Finger Lakes, Cape Cod and Florida, capturing breathtaking images of birds and nature. Her work reflects her connection to wildlife conservation and a deep sense of calm shared between her spa world and the natural world.
Stop by The Waterfront Cafe to see Rachel's photography. Whether you're a bird enthusiast or simply love nature, her images offer a peaceful escape into the wild.
