About
I’m Luis Rivas, a photographer specializing in editorial and photojournalistic-style photography that tells authentic, visually compelling stories. My approach blends artistic composition with candid storytelling, capturing genuine emotion and timeless detail in every frame.
From weddings, events, and quinceañeras to commercial work including product, brand, and professional headshot photography, I strive to create imagery that reflects the unique personality and purpose behind each moment or project. Whether documenting life’s most meaningful celebrations or helping brands bring their vision to life, my goal is to deliver photographs that are both beautiful and deeply connected to their story.
I have been doing photography in some form for over 10 years now and finally investing in making it a full fledged business. My gear continues to evolve over time yet my essentials include my Nikon Z6ii, several zoom and prime lens, as well as a small portable studio including lighting, backdrops, and flash. My focus on capturing the artistic visions my clients desire and turning it into a beautiful imagery. Feel free to reach out to me regarding your next photography project and can see how to best accommodate your needs.

I had a good experience during my session with Luis. He made me relax and helped posing, and he delivered my pictures earlier than expected, they were beautiful.

We had an amazing experience with Luis on a maternity photoshoot. We had booked a studio and Luis was able to take great shots.
Very professional, punctual and very fun as well to work with. Great photoshoot ideas suggestions as well as accommodating to our needs.
As soon as we saw the final product, we were amazed and in awe and satisfied.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is a bit flexible depending on the project and client needs. A 25% retainer is required to reserve sessions, and full payment is due 48 hours prior to the day of the event.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each customer has a unique vision that I try to work with to understand their needs and goals. Depending on those things, it is important to find the right fit with my skillset and photography style. This is why the initial consultation call is so important to make sure that I can provide the client with the best service, and the client can make rest assured that will deliver above and beyond final images.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken photography courses since high school with no official accreditation and over the years have simply gravitated towards photography. When something is a passion, naturally continuing to learn through experience and different events through life like travel, special occasions, and creative direction have all influenced training myself to see things differently, like lighting, angles, posing, composition and color theory.
