let's be friends. because it matters.
connecting with you is important to me!
Hiiii! I'm Rikki - your adventure loving, memory making, connection cultivating photographer!
I've been married to my best buddy for almost a whole dozen years ( yes, I'm counting- because that's a big deal!) Together we have the sweetest son, Malix (Mal-ix), who came to us after 7 years of infertility. That journey deepened my love for capturing growing families because it feels like serious magic when babies are created!
When I'm not working with your beautiful families, you will find my anywhere outside - camping, hiking through parks, sitting around a bonfire, soaking up the sun on the beach or chasing Malix at Forest School. If there's fresh air and good people sign me up! Don't get me wrong though- I also love a good lazy day with a book or binge worthy trash TV with a hot coffee in hand. Balance, right?!
I have a horrible memory and remember life through photos. I am so passionate about capturing real connections, raw emotions and the moments strung together that make your life so uniquely beautiful. I want to help you remember it all.
Some of my most treasured memories are ones I see in photographs. The memories flood back. It's so special!
My journey to motherhood is most definitely part of my WHY today. My business started long before the heartache of infertility and recurrent loss of precious babies. Today every ounce of me treasures and understands how magical it is to create life or mother a child born to another woman too. My awe over motherhood allows me to see the beauty of it in a special way. This is why this is such a passion of mine! There is also forever a soft place in my heart for serving families at any stage in a similar infertility journey. I get it. My perspective focuses on the real, because how lucky are we to be chosen to have our sweet babies?
I love creating a safe and comfortable space that allows families to love on each other. Through movement, subtle prompts and encouragement to explore - natural moments and memories unfold and allow us to document things you truly want to remember. The giggles. The snuggles. The chase in the field. The toss in the air. The sand castles and wildflowers. I'm here for the engaging and interactive photography so years from now you have memories and not just petty pictures. How special is it to have uninterrupted time with your family and the photos to remember it all unfolding in real time?!
