“Rio brought a ton of fantastic ideas to the table while also handling my (fairly peculiar) requests like a champion. It was fun, easy, and resulted in a huge amount of materials useful for a wide variety of applications.
I can’t believe me getting hit in the face with a dodgeball was such an absolutely perfect headshot for a cancer comedy tour.”

“We've been lucky enough to have Rio shooting stellar photos for nearly two years. Rio is a skilled professional - motivated, prompt, and enjoyable to work with. If you're looking for someone to capture a moment with a truly unique eye - Rio's the one! If we could, we'd add 5 more stars to this review!”

We knew Rio was the photographer for us right away, and her unencumbered style, naturally disarming disposition, and keen eye collected photos that captured the life of the dining room as well as incredible still lifes of the food. Her photos have endured the test of time as we sneak up on 4 years of service.
Having a cache of high-resolution shots on hand has proved to be invaluable when the press has called. Rio’s beautiful photos have appeared in articles about Campione by the Montana Free Press, Food and Wine Magazine, and most recently The New York Times, when our restaurant appeared on their 2023 Restaurant List. Rio’s shot of our Linguine and Meatballs appears dead center across a two-page spread that includes 8 restaurants and only 3 photos.
When I submitted the shots, the Times photo editor wrote back,
“these [photos] are beautiful- thank you so much!”
I can’t overstate how fortunate we were to find Rio, how well her work has been received, and what a benefit to our business her vibrant, intimate work has been.

Working with Rio is such a pleasure. Her ability to convey emotion via her craft is truly remarkable. I’ve witnessed Rio’s talent for making her subjects feel at ease when being photographed time and time again. The feeling captured in her pictures has allowed my audience to connect with the feeling & branding of my business without yet having set foot in the door.
The positive impact of working with Rio over the course of the last year has resulted in quantifiable growth and expanded reach. I could not be happier and would highly recommend Rio to anyone seeking new avenues of engagement + connection with their audience.

“Rio is an incredible multi-faceted talent. She possesses the unique ability to capture the beauty we often miss in ourselves by reminding us of our inner power and who we are deep inside. She helps you feel at ease during a photo shoot and I feel more seen by her and her camera than I do when I look in the mirror. I am thankful for her insight, captive eye, and artistic awareness. Quite frankly, she is amazing!”
