I’m a photographer, licensed NYC tour guide, part-time stand up comedian, and full-time adventurer!
Hey there!
Welcome to New York! Since you’re visiting my site, you’re probably wondering “do I need a tour guide for my time here, or can I just find my way around with a map on my phone?”
I’ve lived in NYC for 15 years, and worked as a stand up comedian and a photographer. After covid hit, I decided to change my career & become a NYC tour guide. This way I managed to combine my love for the city adding some jokes while snapping a few photos in between. I enjoy making new friends and connecting with people. Doing stand-up comedy for over 10 years taught me how to break the ice in 2 seconds, so every tour & photoshoot will feel like a friendly hang out & not a stressful chore.

We were glad we chose Ricky to be our photographer, she was charming and professional.
Hi Rickis, thank you SO MUCH. Can not wait to share with my friends and my family.
Ricki was such a pleasure to shoot with! She made the whole experience really relaxed and fun, which helped me feel more like myself in front of the camera. I didn’t feel awkward at all, and by the end of it, I honestly felt beautiful and confident. The photos turned out amazing – better than I could have imagined! If you’re looking for a photographer who knows how to bring out your best, I definitely recommend Ricki.
Ricki is such a wonderful person and photographer. We traveled to NYC for a family vacation and thought it would be fun to get some family pictures while there. Ricki not only took amazing pictures of my family, she gave us some history of the Brooklyn Bridge while we were at it. She did a great job interacting with my kids which allowed them to feel very comfortable around her….huge plus IMO. Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Ricki if anyone wants photos while in NYC.
Ricki is truly the best photographer in town! We had an amazing time with her, and she perfectly captured all the beautiful moments of our girls’ trip to NYC. This experience is definitely a memory we’ll cherish forever!
