Hello! My name is Ri, short for Maria. I love to capture the most precious moments in time for growing families.  I photograph newborns, cake smashes, seniors, family and extended family sessions. Fur babies are always welcomed. The clients I serve are looking for someone who is patient and compassionate to young children and teens while still providing high quality, professional photos that bring out their individual and unique personalities.  
 

I have earned my certification in Photography from Wilmington University in Delaware in 2025. 
 

"Maria shows her talents and dedication in her photography. She is a blessing and continues to bless others with her gift. When I was looking for a photographer for my son's senior pictures, Maria impressed me not only by her work, but with her heart. I thought anyone that could make photography affordable for families by doing what she loves and is truly good at, was the choice for me. I would definitely recommend Memories by RI LLC, you won't be disappointed, I know I wasn't!!"

"Maria, I cannot even capture into words what magic you brought to Kelsie's senior photos and the crazy fun experience we had with you. Never have I met someone who has such a vision and yet was so real to work with and made it an overall stress free, sassy day. We are so very impressed with the quality of your work and passion for your business. Thank you so very much, truly! We are so very happy with our photos and the overall experiences we shared. Again, thank you...for all the smiles!"

I moved to Wisconsin from Long Island 14 years ago with my four children. I have since married and have 5 children and a beautiful grandson who I love spending time and  having large Italian family dinners. I love exploring the Midwest and all it has to offer. 

I look forward to capturing today's moments for tomorrow's memories for you.
