Hello there! Welcome to my little corner of the internet, I'm so glad you're here. My name is Riya and I'm a portrait and family photographer with a heart full of joy and a camera full of memories waiting to be made.
 
My journey into photography began during the lockdown, armed with nothing but a camera and my mom's freshly baked goodies. Those early food photos sparked a passion that led me to Light and Life Academy in Lovedale and then to two and a half incredible years with Mommyshots by Amrita
 
Here's the deal: I believe everyone deserves to see themselves the way their loved ones do – radiantly beautiful and full of life. I believe in the power of photography to change the way we see ourselves. Every smile, every laugh, every tender moment – they're all part of your unique story. And I'm here to help you tell it.
 
So, whether you're looking to capture your family's love, celebrate a milestone, or simply remind yourself how amazing you are, I'm here for it. Let's create some beautiful memories together – the kind that'll make you smile on even the toughest days. It's like bottling up happiness for a rainy day!
 
So, if you're ready to see yourself through my eyes and create some magic together, let's chat! Who knows? You might just fall in love with yourself all over again.
