About
Hello, I'm Risa McKinney! I have had a passion for photography for many years. I focus on providing each client with a unique photo experience that is true to THEM. Whether that be through nature inspired family sessions, senior photos, in-home lifestyle sessions, beautiful weddings or whatever else you deem worthy of capturing. Life happens fast, and I truly cherish the pictures I capture. They become a portal into fond memories that are unique to each person I work with. My extroverted personality, passion for kids, and honestly any human interaction (haha) are all qualities that allow each session to depict raw emotions and create an all around enjoyable and relaxing experience!

Risa is absolutely amazing. She recently took my engagement photos. My fiancé and I are completely in love with them. Risa makes you so comfortable throughout the process. She got our photos back to us extremely fast also. She will be capturing more photos of our lives in the future! I would most definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Thank you SO much Joshua. I can't get over how cute you and Mia were, and would take photos of you two for every session if I could. It was such a pleasure capturing you two love birds :)

Risa was beyond kind! She was consistent, and was willing to walk through all of the details with me and responded in a timely manner always. She made this truly a special moment, and gave us pictures to look back on for the rest of our lives. She accurately recreated our inspo photos, and gave them such a natural and classy flair that accurately portrayed our ideas. She made us feel so comfortable and I hope to work with her in the future again!!!!! ☺️☺️☺️

Awww, Chloe! I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed our shoot. You were both down for all of my suggestions, and were so comfortable letting me lead. Your love for one another was absolutely beautiful. The photos speak to that on so many levels. I am so happy we connected, and so honored I got to capture such a beautiful couple. I would lOVE to work together again. It was such a pleasure!
