RICKY

I love capturing places, movement + uniqueness and love to help artists and mothers celebrate and memorialize their raw and real moments.

Toronto-born to immigrant parents, I understand the importance of representation and strive to bring BIPOC stories to my platform's forefront.

I’ve studied Advertising and Graphic Design, Image Styling and UX Design. My Dad taught me a lot about photography at an early age. He’s a retired lifestyle photographer and once owned a photo processing studio.

When I'm not with my camera in hand, I am at home with my twinkles--Temi and Po (they're twins), wfh at my day job as a graphic designer, watching New Girl or writing up some kind of list on my Evernote.

I love movie nights with my twinkles, learning to be a better mother/human, thriller movies, supporting other local businesses, seeing new growth on my house plants, driving out in the countryside, sniff kisses, thrifting, visiting flower/family farms, public art, poutine, cheesecake, alone time to recharge, celebrating wins (big + small) and catching sunrises/sunsets.

CHRIS

Hubby to my best friend and soulmate.

I have a degree in Kinesiology at U of T and a diploma in Paramedicine at Centennial College.

I also wear many hats: Paramedic, Heart & Stroke CPR Instructor, Oxford College Clinical Instructor
and Accountant, Customer Service, Assistant and Secondary Shooter for Sincerely Image and #girldad of twins.

Currently, I'm expanding my career in community relations in the emergency services realm and learning about multiple avenues of investing.

I love coffee, music, coaching, staying in shape, finding the value of things, research and self improvement, men's style, motorcycles and traveling.

In my spare time, which isn’t a lot these days, I'm either working out, cutting my own hair, listening to music, reading consumer reports, playing sports or running errands (a lot of trips to Costco).
