“I had an amazing experience working with Ricardo for my senior photos! From the start, his bubbly personality made me feel so comfortable, and it was clear that he was passionate about getting the best shots. The lighting he used was perfect, really bringing out the best in each photo. He also suggested great poses that made the whole process feel natural and fun. The final photos turned out absolutely stunning, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional photographer who knows how to capture those special moments.”

I’ve had the chance to work with Ricardo on a variety of shoots - from surfing and Corolla Beach Rescue to portraits and brand modeling - and every experience has been outstanding. Ricardo has a true talent for making you feel completely natural in front of the camera, and it really shows in the final images. His eye for timing, light, and movement is especially impressive in fast-paced beach and water environments. He brings a calm, confident energy to every shoot, gives clear direction when needed, and always captures authentic, powerful moments. I can’t recommend Ricardo enough.

“Ricardo is an amazing photographer! I go all in each year for a big photoshoot with him for my swimsuit brand and he never disappoints! He is always so thoughtful and caring when it comes to my brand and his models. We brainstorm ahead of time with mood boards and pinterest ideas before he truly brings my vision to life. Even though it's usually an early morning photoshoot, he always brings a positive attitude, music, and breakfast for everyone there. Some girls may be skeptical of a male photographer when it comes to photographing swimwear but he is always super respectful and I always adjust anything on the models that may be off. I would definitely recommend Ricardo for any of your branding needs or even just family/portrait/event needs.”

“I’ve done two yoga shoots with Rico, and he absolutely crushes it! As a photographer myself, I really appreciate how intentional he is with his work. He’s never scared to get up way earlier than the crack of dawn to arrive on location with plenty of time to ground into the space, get comfortable, and move through the session with ease. His composition, exposure, attention to detail, and creativity are top of the line.
More than that, he really allows you to let down your walls and feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which makes all the difference. He truly is a master of his craft.”

“Ricardo is the absolute best to work with! I have done multiple photoshoots with him and he continues to provide such a positive and encouraging space while making visions come to life through his photography. If you need a photographer you need to book with Ricardo.”

“Ricardo took my family portraits on the beach in September last year and they turned out INCREDIBLE! The photoshoot included 6 adults and 4 kids from 6 years to 7 months. There were moments of crazy that he turned into beauty. He was extremely flexible with start time and length for the shoot, which was HUGE for our family. The flexibility in logistics for the family shoot was incredible, but definitely not the most memorable part of the photoshoot. Ricardo made it an experience for everyone involved. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. He captured some of the most beautiful moments in our favorite place that we will cherish forever. We are so extremely thankful. His photos line almost every wall in our homes”

“Very positive experience. Rico is a very knowledgeable photographer; knowing how to pose you/ the group, how to frame a composition, and how to execute great photos. He is also very collaborative in the sense that he works to make your vision come to life. If you have a photo idea in mind, it can be achieved. Overall very good experience.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ricardo on a few different shoots, including a campaign for a sunglass brand, a personal shoot with my boyfriend, and with my ocean rescue team. Each time, Ricardo has brought an incredible energy that makes you feel immediately comfortable. He’s extremely personable and has a way of putting you at ease, which brings out the best in every shot. His attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of a moment is impressive! Whether it’s a professional shoot or something more personal, Ricardo delivers stunning results every time. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also a joy to work with.”

Ricardo really put in effort to get to know me and my vision before my graduation shoot, which made the entire process feel natural and collaborative. The level of care he puts into his work is truly reflected in every photo- I couldn’t recommend a more passionate or personable photographer.
