Meet me in the Garden
This location is absolutely breathtaking. There are several gardens throughout this memorial that make a great variety of backdrops for your session. This year, the gardens are predicted to be at its peak in April, though it is gorgeous throughout all spring/summer months with its unique layout. This place reminds me of something out of a fairytale. All things greenery, water, tulips and rose bushes.. Due to weather changes, the foliage is not guaranteed each year. Tulips are also not always guaranteed.. Message me for an update.

dt cONCORD studio
The professional studio spaces that I offer are bright, elegant and were designed to give your photos the glow that will create flawless tones to your pictures. With white walls and floors, vaulted ceilings and large windows, the natural lighting is absolutely impeccable. There are three different spaces in this building that I like to use for my clients.
KANNAPOLIS STUDIO
This is an additional studio option in Kannapolis. It is my personal home studio. I have created the perfect amount of natural light. This is the current setup for Spring. Minimal. Fresh. Timeless. Put on something dressy or cozy. This is the perfect setup for gorgeous portraits of you and your fam. I love a good neutral setup that will go with just about anything and any time of year.
Full EXPERIENCEs
are highly recommended for new clients that haven't worked with me before, clients who have small children that may need some extra time to warm up to my presence as well as clients who are particular about angles when being photographed. During the full experience, I will have the time to get to know a little about you and your family, get to focus on flattering angles and get a wide variety of poses. Having the extra time with children is extremely important. A lot of families think "my child wont last long" so a quick session is what is best. I can assure you that doing a quicker, mini experience, is not the answer for getting good shots and having a decent experience if your kiddos are impatient. During this session, I take my time with getting several shots that involve many angles, poses and candids. I provide a few props to create that natural vibe for action shots, which gives you that "lifestyle" look. This session includes several backdrops around the studio that I have created strategically just for you! Full experiences are mainly for clients who are looking for a large gallery of photos so that there are a ton of options and have a greater chance of having that perfect shot for prints, canvas art, photo albums, and social media.

MINI EXPERIENCEs
are suitable for clients that are very familiar with doing "mini sessions". These quick sessions consist of posed shots with a specific backdrop that comes with a specific shot list that i go by in order to keep things moving quickly and smoothly, so that we can easily rotate into the next family. Mini experiences are easy and I promise if you are wanting to be one and done, I will have you in and out. At the end of the day, all I ask is that you throw out all expectations of perfect smiles and you can embrace any "crying" shots if there may be any. I vow to all of my clients to do what I do best, and that is to try my best to create a fun vibe for everyone by allowing my personality to be at its peak during our session. Mini experiences are mainly for clients who are looking for just a few photos for social media and family sharing. Fill out the form below and I will get back with you as soon as possible.

Testimonials
Our first experience with Riya exceeded all expectations! I wasn’t sure what to expect at first, but when she sent over the proofs, I was absolutely blown away by her talent. The magic she worked was beyond incredible! Her communication throughout the process was seamless, and we received our final results in just 10 days. I can’t wait to work with her again in the future!
