Introduction

Hello, I'm Risa McKinney! I have had a passion for photography for many years. I focus on providing each client with a unique photo experience that is true to THEM. Whether that be through nature inspired family sessions, senior photos, in-home lifestyle sessions, beautiful weddings or whatever else you deem worthy of capturing. Life happens fast, and I truly cherish the pictures I capture. They become a portal into fond memories that are unique to each person I work with. My extroverted personality, passion for kids, and honestly any human interaction (haha) are all qualities that allow each session to depict raw emotions and create an all around enjoyable and relaxing experience!

Risa was so fun to work with! She captured my daughters Senior pictures and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was hands down the most amazing photographer we have worked with and will definitely be using her for all our picture needs moving forward.

Risa is absolutely amazing. She recently took my engagement photos. My fiancé and I are completely in love with them. Risa makes you so comfortable throughout the process. She got our photos back to us extremely fast also. She will be capturing more photos of our lives in the future! I would most definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Thank you SO much Joshua. I can't get over how cute you and Mia were, and would take photos of you two for every session if I could. It was such a pleasure capturing you two love birds :)

Risa was INCREDIBLE!! I was very nervous about getting my graduation photos done and I immediately warmed up to her because she was so outgoing and professional. She was very helpful when it came to planning out different poses, but at the same time super encouraging of my ideas! She made me feel so special and confident and I am in love with how the pictures turned out. She was genuinely so sweet and I 1000% recommended choosing her as your photographer.

Our whole experience with Risa was fantastic: she's professional, responsive, friendly, flexible, creative, great with kids, and extremely talented.
