Hey,

I'm Richard.


Thank you for coming to my page. I am from Hagerman, New Mexico and attended college right out of high school at The Art Institute of Phoenix. I received a bachelor's degree in Visual Effects and Motion Graphics, then worked as an independent contractor in film for many years until landing a job in California as a stereoscopic compositor.


I moved back to New Mexico to be closer to my family about ten years ago. I am a single father to a vibrant ten-year-old little boy. I would describe my style as photojournalistic. I prefer natural lighting and capturing candid images of people making memories.


Creating powerful imagery

for families.



Senior shoots and family photography are my primary focus. I love capturing the transition from high school into adulthood as well as the special connection that families have with one another. I look forward to working with you to create new memories that your family and loved ones can enjoy for years to come. Please take the time to explore my page and view the portfolios. As you journey through the images, I hope you feel a sense of authenticity and joy. Imagine what memories I can capture for you.
