Family Photography
Portraits for Every Milestone
Every family has a story, and yours deserves to be remembered in its truest form, alive with love, laughter, and connection. My intention is to capture the heart of your family, the gentle chaos, the quiet tenderness, the love and joy, and the moments that naturally unfold.
Whether at the park or shoreline or warmth of your home, I seek to preserve the beauty found in the everyday. With gentle guidance when needed, I allow space for you to simply be yourselves. And with over six years of experience and hundreds of thousands images delivered, you can feel confident knowing you are in good hands.
Each gallery is thoughtfully curated with a blend of classic must-have images, candid in-between moments, meaningful details, and genuine joy. We usually begin with full family portraits, then move into smaller groups and individual shots, creating a natural flow that keeps things easy and fun for people (or dogs) of all ages.
My primary editing style is true to life, soft, and with a gentle warmth that feels timeless. I also offer an elegant editorial style, often reserved for weddings, for those who love a more nostalgic, dreamy, and artistic aesthetic.
I value diversity and culture with a love and genuine curiosity for all people. My job fundamentally is about seeing people and their unique beauty. Being trusted to document these moments is an honor I never take for granted. If you are looking for a photographer who values connection, storytelling, and a relaxed, enjoyable experience, inquire today.

Moments that matter
Trusted by families, couples, and organizations across Southern California.
He really captured the love and connection our family has. He was so patient and went with the flow the whole time. I don't usually like taking photos — but I was so happy with every single one.

Every time I ask Rick for the type of experience I want, he delivers even more than I could have imagined. He makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. For every event.
He has done our family pictures and my daughter's quinceañera. He is so relaxed that we all feel relaxed. Such a joy to work with Rick — simply the best!
Rick was so patient with my kiddos. He took into account their comfort level and attention span. The photos were a perfect balance of posed and candid shots.
We were a large group of 9 and some of us are a little awkward posing — but he has such an artistic eye that our pictures came out amazing. Overall, a smooth process!
We had a great time taking pictures and were laughing the whole time. We got the photos back quickly and loved all of them. So happy we have awesome family photos together!
We are recently empty nesters and took this opportunity to get photos with our dog. Thank you for such a fun and enjoyable photo shoot — what a great experience!
Every gallery tells a story reflecting the beauty of life as it unfolds.
