Meet Rita, Chagrin Falls, OH Photographer

Born and raised in Mexico City...

It has always been my passion to take photos of special moments. I am shy and observant, I look at moments and take snapshots in my mind, so I can remember them forever. This is why photography is so special to me.

I am visual and creative. I love reading a good book. I love music and dancing. I love traveling. My journey has taken me to live in many different countries and meet amazing people from around the world. I love new places and cultures. This has made me a very resilient person, I adapt and move forward. All these experiences have shaped my mind and expanded my creativity.

My family is everything to me. I like to think my three boys are children of the world, having had the amazing experience of traveling and seeing different cultures. I love spending time with them, my husband, and our dog. Watching movies and eating popcorn, listening to music, dancing in the kitchen, or just reading in silence. I love photographing my boys, their tiny hands, their toothless faces, their crying eyes, and their happy smiles. Every detail in this chapter in their lives. They grow so fast and I know these moments will never come back.

But I am not only a mother and wife, as much as I love that part of myself. I am also, an artist and a dreamer. A photographer wanting to create and expand. Someone craving to connect, meet and create these unique moments for others. Perfect posed photos are not important to me, I am in search of real and raw moments, to create timeless images that show life and have soul.

Photography moves me, it is art. It is a story frozen in time forever. It is a story always worth remembering...

...I want to be the photographer to help you tell yours.
