About Rick

Physical beauty is temporary. Life is temporary. We have a limited time on earth and we need to enjoy the beauty in all things, eating the whole fruit and spitting out the seed. Life has brought me to a place where I can explore and share feminine beauty and to merely record what the Creator has allowed me to experience. Physical beauty is a moment. It is fleeting.

I have been a photographer for over 20 years. I think of how the subjects I have captured have changed. Youth has become mature. Babies have become beautiful young women. Those young women will become mature much more quickly than they could imagine. Life is a process. Physical change is another of life’s experiences to be embraced, not feared, but also cherished. Denial is uglier than any change time brings. Beauty is to be cherished, revered and honored and even immortalized. It will soon be gone.

My place in this world is to preserve the beauty of a moment forever…to press it like a special flower in a book.

I grew up in Orlando, Florida where I started shooting as a hobby in 1986 while majoring in Psychology at the University of Central Florida. The hobby slowly grew into a very unexpected career that led to liivng in several cities and states until returning to Orlando at the beginning of 2009.
