Working with Ria is always a positive and productive experience. Our most recent contact was a scanning project she did for Highland Park Conservancy. She scanned approximately 600 slides and viewed each of them for maximum quality and color accuracy. Ria Tafani Photography is always my first choice!

Ria took photos of my family (12 people) including several small children. In addition, she took several professional pictures for our business. She was fantastic to work with. She arrived ahead of time to check out the outdoor area where we were taking pictures. She had several recommendations where best to take the photos. She was great working with children. Very friendly and professional. Highly recommended! Very pleased with the pictures!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ria! She was very reasonably priced, professional, and so patient. Our photos are beautiful and she captured so many moments we would have missed. I had my photos in days and wouldn't have changed a thing.

Ria photographed my Dad's 100th birthday party. First of all -- Ria showed up on time!! We had a crunch time of 45 mins. before the party started and she got it done!! Her photos were wonderful. They caught the feel of the party. She was able to catch everyone at the party and got great shots of the birthday boy with the guests. She took great care in making sure she got the shots that the family wanted. Thank you Ria for capturing our special day with our Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpa.
