Studio & Headshots

Two Ways to Shoot

In studio. I partner with a few great studio spaces around Long Beach. Perfect for personal branding, creative portraits, or anyone who wants a polished look with full control over light and backdrop.

I come to you. I have a portable studio setup that fits right into your office, shop, or living room. Great for teams who need consistent headshots without everyone leaving work, or busy folks who’d rather not fight traffic for a 30 minute session.

What to Expect

Most people tell me they hate having their photo taken. Totally normal! I’ll walk you through it, give you simple cues for posture and expression, and keep things light so you can actually relax. No awkward silence, no stiff smiles. You’ll see shots on the back of the camera as we go, so you know you’re getting something you’ll love.

Your edited gallery arrives within one week, because I know when you need a headshot, you usually need it yesterday.

Teams & Office Days

Need headshots for your whole team? I offer office day packages where I set up on site and work through your people one by one, so everyone gets a consistent, professional look with minimal disruption to the workday. Every team is different, so I put together pricing based on your headcount, location, and timeline. Just reach out and I’ll send over a custom quote.

Who This Is For

Professionals updating their LinkedIn. Small business owners and creatives building a brand. Teams who want everyone looking like they belong on the same website. Authors, speakers, realtors, and anyone who needs a photo that makes a good first impression.

Editing

Clean and natural, same as the rest of my work. True skin tones and light retouching so you look like you on your best day, not like a different person.

If it’s time for a new headshot, I’d love to help. Let’s set something up.

From clients

Comfortable in front of the camera

Professionals, creatives, and people who swore they weren't photogenic.

We've worked with Rick many times for private events and weddings at El Dorado Golf Course, and he is truly incredible. He's professional, punctual, warm, and so easy to work with. He's also great about delivering photos quickly, which we really appreciate.

"Un-photogenic"

My partner and I had a photo shoot with Rick and had the best time! We deemed ourselves un-photogenic but we were shocked at how well the photos turned out with Rick's guidance. He made us feel at ease, worked with our poses, and encouraged us throughout. We loved the process & highly recommend him for all events! He captured our best moments.

Rick is the best photographer I have worked with! He is so sweet, patient, and always attentive if a hair is out of place or something isn't just perfect. The quality of his work speaks for itself, and is always consistent. He comes up with new and creative ideas I haven't seen before, which is really rare to come by. He is great for businesses, weddings, events, or personal shoots. He shows up on time and prepared, always willing to go the extra mile! Would recommend Rick's photography to anyone and everyone!
