EXCELLENT Based on 629 reviews Posted on Ashley EvansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best time ever with Ricki during our Times Square photo shoot! It was me and my two teen daughters on a girls trip, and she made the whole experience so fun and easy. These pics were perfect for my daughter's sweet 16 photos, my other teen's theater headshots, and even a few professional shots for me. They all turned out amazing! Ricki brought so much energy, helped us pose naturally and in fun ways, and totally captured the magic of Times Square. She was so quick with getting these pics to us too! My girls are still talking about this photo experience! It was definitely a highlight of our trip! Can’t recommend her enough!Posted on carol osborneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ricki was the best photographer! We were on a very tight schedule and she did everything with such ease! The photos are amazing and I will cherish them forever! Will definitely hit you up whenever we are in NYC again! Thank you!!!Posted on Stav Nof ZamirTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found Ricki through recommendations on Facebook. We booked a one-hour couple’s photo session at two different locations. We met in the afternoon and immediately started walking to make the most of the natural light at each spot. Ricki was funny, easygoing, and made the whole experience so relaxed. Neither my husband nor I are people who know how to act in front of a camera, but Ricki made it fun! We really enjoyed ourselves, got great travel tips and historical anecdotes along the way — and most importantly, we absolutely love the photos we got! Highly recommended experience.Posted on PaFoua YangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can't recommend Ricki highly enough as a photographer. She has such a warm, positive energy and is incredibly easy to work with. As we were from out of town, we especially appreciated how quickly she edited and delivered our photos. Ricki made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and guided us through poses with kindness and ease. Truly the most seamless and enjoyable photography experience we've had. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!Posted on Rita SiliņaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful picturesPosted on William “Buddy” KaufmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you're looking for a photographer in NYC who can capture stunning photos AND give you an unforgettable tour of the city, look no further! We booked Ricki for my daughter's 18th birthday during our visit to New York, and it was, without a doubt, one of the highlights of our trip. Ricki is incredibly talented behind the lens. She has a knack for making you feel comfortable and bringing out the best in her subjects. My daughter, who can sometimes be a little shy in front of the camera, was completely at ease, and the resulting photos are absolutely breathtaking and gave us a perfect memento of her special birthday in the city. Ricki is so much more than just a photographer. Having lived in New York for years, she also provided us with a fantastic walking tour, starting at the Brooklyn Bridge and taking us all the way to Times Square. Her knowledge of New York City history and architecture is truly impressive, and she shared fascinating stories and insights that we wouldn't have discovered on our own. Her passion for the city is infectious! Thanks to Ricki's recommendations, we ended up visiting several landmarks that weren't even on our original itinerary, and we're so glad we did. She truly made us appreciate the beauty and vibrancy of New York. Ricki is professional, charming, and a joy to be around. From start to finish, she made the experience seamless and memorable. I would absolutely book her services every time I visit NYC, not only to capture more special moments but also to experience more of the city through her eyes. If you want a photographer who can create beautiful memories and a tour guide who can bring the city to life, I highly recommend Ricki! You won't be disappointed.Posted on Emily SpinksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ricki captured our family in Times Square so beautifully.

A photo shoot with Riki turned into the best lasting memory from NY — she made us feel so comfortable, and the photos are simply stunning! Beyond the beautiful pictures, Riki gave us an experience we’ll always cherish — full of joy, and happy moments that will stay with us forever. Even our teenagers, who usually shy away from the camera, joined in and enjoyed every moment!Posted on ATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I’m a licensed NYC tour guide and a former stand-up comedian, so expect laughs along with landmarks. I keep things light, fun, and full of energy as we explore the city together. Whether we’re chasing the best dumplings in Chinatown or discovering hidden gems, every tour feels like a new adventure. I love meeting people from all over the world—and making sure you fall in love with New York, one step (and bite) at a time 😀
