Hi! I’m Risa (short for Marisa), and I’m so glad you’re here! I’ve had the privilege of photographing the beautiful, intimate moments that shape people’s lives.

What draws me to photography is the power of telling a story through images. I believe that the best photos are the ones that capture authentic moments—the ones that can transport you back to how you felt in that instant. Whether it's a quiet glance, a spontaneous laugh, or a shared touch, I want to create photographs that not only look beautiful but feel meaningful.

To me, photographs are more than just pictures—they’re memories that grow more valuable over time. They document some of life’s most precious milestones, like engagements, elopements, weddings, pregnancy and family moments. These images will live on beyond our lifetimes, passed down through generations, and I feel so honored to be part of that legacy.

When I’m behind the camera, I focus on you and your story. My approach is to let moments unfold naturally while also making sure everything is thoughtfully captured. I aim to make you feel comfortable, free, and like yourselves—allowing those real, raw moments to shine through. Alongside this, I love incorporating a variety of posed and editorial-inspired looks into my sessions and adding a timeless, classic feel to my photos. It's about blending the candid with the stylized to create a gallery that feels both authentic and beautifully curated.

When I’m not photographing, you can find me exploring new places, enjoying time with my loved ones, or planning my next adventure. I can’t wait to hear your story and capture the moments that mean the most to you. Let’s create something beautiful together that will last a lifetime.
