Visual storytelling with a little personality
I create photography, illustration, and visual content for people, businesses, organizations, and brands that want their work to feel engaging, and distinctive.
From photographing an event to creating an illustrated piece of artwork, I love finding the details that make a story worth remembering
I work with photography, illustration, graphic design, and create content. I create images that feel authentic, expressive, and a little bit unexpected.
My photography work includes portraits, events, lifestyle photography, brand photography, editorial imagery, and creative content for businesses, organizations, artists, and individuals.
I also create original ink illustrations, animal artwork, botanical illustrations, and fine art prints inspired by the natural world.
With a background in graphic design, marketing, media production, and visual communications, I approach photography and art from both a creative and strategic perspective. Whether I'm photographing an event, creating artwork for a brand, or drawing a strange little creature covered in flowers and thorns, I'm always looking for the story hiding underneath the surface.

Had a great experience with Risa! I needed (affordable!) professional head shots done ASAP and she was able set my appointment that same week! During our shoot, she made me feel very comfortable and understood exactly what kind of style I was looking for. We finished quickly, without feeling rushed, and I am so happy with the finished product. Risa was pleasant and very friendly throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend her!
