This was an amazing experience. I booked the boudoir shoot by accident and was pleasantly surprised that he would still work with me. This was my very first time working with someone as conscientious as this guy. A warm open environment and good energy with high quality equipment. Definitely worth a visit if your interested in some amazing photos!!! More...

Ricardo is so much fun and instantly put me at ease. He created a space to let me play with different looks and be as daring and as traditional as I wanted. He is a very versatile photographer and is as amazing doing a family photo shoot as a boudoir shoot. He’s absolutely phenomenal and I can’t wait to work with him again! More...

Ricardo was THEE best! I wasn't the object of focus of the shoot, but he was supportive of me being in attendance to help make my friend comfortable with everything. The boudoir space for shooting the photos was clean and full of great light! He gave perfect instructions to my friend for different angles of the shoot and even got on his hands and knees for angles too. He was great with giving me direction on the side to stand where my friend could see me, I could see her, I wasn't blocking any of her photos, and I was able to watch his mastery in photography.Will definitely use his services again!

What an exceptional experience, Ryan, Mya Ashley and Ricardo made taking pictures exciting and fun. He photographed my daughter and me in a "Mommy and me"photo- shoot. My adult daughter gave me laughs to remember for life and I have to thank this group for that. The photos are so good I can't believe it's us. Make up artist Eddie get a hands up church praise. He is the Leonardo of FACE! This collab is worth every penny. Studio is clean and comfortable. Okay, What are you waiting on? Make a reservation and take some pictures..... More...

At 36 weeks pregnant Ricardo took my husbands and I maternity shoot. I was completely amazed and overjoyed with every single picture captured. It was a complete success that’s to his patience, comfort and his ideas we were able to bring life to these pictures. Each parties spoke out to viewers and it said a story of shared love between a couple excited for the new creation. We recommend Ricardo for any photo shoot! His studio is ready equipped in the most cozy and comfortable setting. He is amazing and creates magic! Totally in love with the pictures. I officially have found my photographer!!!! More...

Ricardo took pictures of me for my husband for a gift . I am less than photogenic in all photos but he made me look and feel beautiful. The make up artist was phenomenal. Only hitch was that there was supposed to be a hairstylist available and there was not, but his assistant jumped in and helped tame my crazy hair! More...
