I'm a portrait photographer, believer, and wife to my high-school sweetheart. I'm obsessed with timeless, romantic photos, and I think everyone deserves photos that they feel their absolute best in! I feel most inspired when I'm surrounded by paintings - whether that's in the Sistine Chapel in Italy or in my garage at home painting a backdrop, and I love to channel that feeling into every image I create.


Hello, I'm LaRita!

About

We fell in love in high school, and since then he has always been my biggest supporter. I can't imagine a life without Payton in it.

I am obsessed with having fresh flowers filling my countertops and office desk and anywhere I can fit them! My dream is to someday have a massive rose garden so I'll have an unlimited supply. :)

My favorite city I've ever visited is without a doubt Venice, Italy. The live music, art shops everywhere, and water canals created the most magical day of my life.

Art has always been at the heart of who I am. From the moment I could hold a pencil, I was constantly creating—whether sketching fashion designs or watercoloring flowers for my niece’s nursery. Creativity wasn’t just a hobby; it was how I saw and experienced the world.

Photography was woven into my life early on. With both my mom and sister behind the lens, I grew up assisting—holding reflectors, modeling, and watching my mom edit for hours. I’d sit beside her, drawing as she worked, not realizing at the time that we were both creating art in our own ways. When I finally picked up a camera myself, it all clicked—this was my creative medium, my way of capturing beauty in its most fleeting, authentic form.

Now, I’m endlessly grateful for a career that allows me to blend art and emotion, documenting love stories in a way that feels intentional, artistic, and deeply personal. My goal is to craft images that are not just photographs, but heirlooms—artistic, romantic, and filled with the essence of your wedding day. Because long after the vows are exchanged, these photographs will be what brings you back to the magic of it all.
