Dear Family + Friends,

As I enter my third year at RizzaRiz Photography I cannot express my gratitude enough to the amazing people that have given me the opportunity to continue my passion. They are my clients and their families who, over the years have opened their lives and have displayed tremendous hospitality to welcome me and my staff with open arms. They are also my vendors and the people connected within the industry who have shared many a kind word and wisdom and have encouraged me to get up from the ground, chin up with head strong and to continue forward without losing momentum. Over the years the same people have come to be my good friends and have redefined the true essence of what family is to me.

Last summer my family and I went through what I can only describe as a horrific experience when my mother was stricken with a sudden illness. My mother, a woman of great strength and determination, recovered tremendously against all odds in a short amount of time. We are ever so grateful to have her here with us which circles me back to a new-found perspective of family and its importance.

And with this feeling of gratitude, I would be remiss if I did not express in some tangible way to say THANK YOU to all for redefining the meaning of family. THANK YOU for keeping me and my staff hydrated during those hot summer weddings. THANK YOU for asking us if we’ve eaten, inviting us to help ourselves to some fruit or to hang with you in the shade. THANK YOU Uncle Bobs, for cooling us down with your crumpled wedding invitation between breaks and THANK YOU cousin Brad, for helping us organize family members amid post ceremony chaos. THANK YOUbride + groom for believing in me and my vision, even going as far as flying me out to the ends of the earth to tell your story.

With the summer upon us, this certainly leaves a lot of opportunity for family time and because summer tends to bring people together we would love to be there again to document your story. All summer we’ll be offering The Family+Gratitude special, family portrait sessions at $300 – $185 OFF our regular $485 fee to simply say THANK YOU. The summer special ends August 31, 2012.
