I’m Ricky, a quiet lifestyle, event and motherhood photographer.
I pick up my camera to find untold stories.
Photography is how I honour life’s quiet yet profound moments. It's an extension of my joie de vivre! My passion lies in capturing places, movement and the beautiful uniqueness that defines us. Whether it’s an artist immersed in their craft or a mother in a fleeting moment of connection, I’m here to help celebrate and memorialize those real, raw experiences.
Diversity + starting off young
Born in Toronto to immigrant parents, representation is close to my heart. I strive to bring BIPOC stories to the forefront of my platform, celebrating the diverse beauty of our shared humanity.
As a second-generation photographer, this craft is deeply rooted in my story. My father, a retired lifestyle photographer and former photo processing studio owner, shared his knowledge and love for photography with me from an early age. His guidance shaped my perspective and sparked a lifelong passion.
education + Joy
With a background in Advertising and Graphic Design, Image Styling and UX Design and current studies in cinematic art and motherhood anthology, I’m developing a style that’s design-aware, documentary and intentionally heartfelt.
When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me at home with my twin girls, jotting thoughts in Evernote, or rewatching Stranger Things. I cherish tending to my houseplants and savouring life’s simple joys—sunrises, sunsets and all the moments in between.
“ Here is one thing the photo must contain, the humanity of the moment. ”
