Experience
Working with Rika
From the moment you get in touch, my goal is to make your photography experience feel relaxed, personal, and enjoyable. Whether you're booking a family session, couple shoot, or special milestone, I’ll guide you through the process with care and clarity.
Before your session, we’ll chat about what you’re looking for location ideas, styling tips, and how to make the session feel most like you. On the day, I’ll give light direction when needed, but mostly let things unfold naturally. You don’t need to “pose” just be present with your loved ones. That’s when the magic happens.
After the session, I’ll carefully edit your photos in my signature natural and light style, and deliver a beautiful online gallery that you can download, share, and cherish.

FAQ
How do we book you for the session?
Booking is simple! Just reach out via my contact form or email with your preferred date and session type. I’ll get back to you with availability and next steps. Once we lock in a date, a deposit and signed agreement will secure your booking. Then we can start planning your session together!
Do you travel for OUR Choice of destination?
Yes, absolutely! I'm happy to travel across Sydney and beyond for your session. Whether it’s a favorite beach, park, or somewhere meaningful to you, I’ll meet you there. Travel outside the Sydney metro area may incur a small fee, which we’ll discuss upfront.
How do you handle family photos on the day?
Family sessions are relaxed and easygoing. I’ll gently guide you into natural groupings and give light direction to keep things flowing, but I also leave plenty of room for candid moments and real connection. It’s all about keeping things fun, stress-free, and capturing your family just as you are.
What happens if it rains or the weather isn’t great?
We’ll keep an eye on the forecast together, and if the weather doesn’t cooperate, we can reschedule for the next available date that suits you. Overcast skies can actually be beautiful for photos, but I’ll always priorities your comfort and the best results.
What should we wear for the session?
Stick to soft, earthy tones (like beige, brown, or muted pastels). Avoid logos, neon, and matching outfits. Coordination over duplication!
What if my kids don’t behave?
Totally normal! I follow their lead, keep it relaxed, and capture natural moments. Some of the best shots come from unplanned giggles or cuddles!
Where will the session be held?
I shoot at outdoor locations during golden hour, or cozy in-home sessions. I’ll guide you based on your vibe, either beach, park, or your living room.
When will we receive our photos?
You’ll get your full edited gallery within 2–3 weeks via an online gallery.
