I see mySELF as a witness and accomplice to beauty.
My visual art practice is an opportunity to help reveal the beauty I see in the world, whether in the human world or the more-than-human world of plants, animals, and other beings we share space with on our wonderful earth. Photography sessions with me are not only a chance to receive high-quality, unique photos but also a way to celebrate YOU.
how i work
After spending time in front of my camera, I want people to walk away feeling empowered and comfortable in who they are. If you are someone who doesn’t like having their photo taken, I have a variety of techniques on hand to help make the process more enjoyable. My shoots are meant to be a fun experience for both of us!
what i shoot with
I have more than a decade of professional photo and video experience. I love shooting on both digital as well as film, including 35mm in-camera double exposures, Polaroid, and Super 8. I am happy to do shoots digitally, on film, or a combo of both!
who i work with
I feel excited about working with artists and business owners to create images that exemplify their craft. I also love working with anyone in general who needs images, whether it’s to celebrate their families, partners, or themselves! I also especially love working on music videos, which combine my love of visuals + music.
“Working with Rita was an amazing experience!
I work as an artist and holistic wellness coach and asked Rita to some photos while I was in nature, which is where I draw a lot of inspiration. I shared I am typically nervous to have my photo taken and she did multiple things to put me at ease. She even brought a calming lavender flower essence mist to support me!
She has such a calm and confident energy, which made me feel really comfortable having my photo taken. That was a new experience!
She has really great taste and did what it took to get the shots she felt would best capture me and who I am. If you are on the fence about which photographer to hire for portraiture, engagement photos, or whatever else you might need, I highly recommend you choose Rita!”
