The Closest Thing to a Memory is a Video.

.

Let's Make One!

What if your family's love could be translated into something tangible?

In the fleeting moments of a few precious hours together, Rya will carefully create a bespoke family film to bottle up and preserve laughs, milestones, and time.

When the last grain of perfect beach sand is out of your car, that vibrant orange sundress no longer fits your baby girl, and graduation Pomp and Circumstance has faded, you'll be left with these memories, told as you felt them.

"After many years of having fertility issues, my husband and I were blessed with a surprise baby number three. I knew from the time that we found out we were having another child that I would once again commission Rya to document the arrival of our new little girl. We have used her twice in the past and absolutely cherish the pictures that she has taken. This time, we opted to add the film service option to our portrait session. As a mom of three, I know that everything adds up, especially with the new little bundle, BUT the value of memory and emotion wrapped up into this customized video is worth every penny spent, and then some. The pictures that she took for us are phenomenal and I never get tired of looking at them. And the video that she prepared for our family literally took my breath away. Knowing that she has captured the gentle side of my little wild boys and that I will forever be able to hear their tiny voices, even when they are grown and married with children of their own, is priceless. In my mind, the video is enchanting and irreplaceable. I am so grateful to have met Rya and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to have her capture the most tender moments in our personal lives."

"I am so pleased with how you captured me and Liam! Thank you so much! I was amazed at how much Liam was affected by the video. The smile he had watching it was amazing and he was actually emotionally moved by it. He said the reason he likes it so much is because of the things I said to him. Priceless, Rya! I hope to work with you again. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart."

"Rya, I don't think you realized how much you captured. I'm in tears watching it back with sound. You got Nathan swinging in Korean (which he just learned a few months ago), you caught us swinging in Korean and he loves that song, you got us playing acorn toss and belly laughing from me even - you can hear me say "feet forward, feet backwards" in Korean which is how I taught him to swing since he was two!

The best part (now that we've lost friends who have left behind children) is that you got our voices and little sayings for them for when our time comes - Thang always tells them "you're silly" and me saying "peek-a-boo" in Korean to Ethan.

Thank you SO much."

- Nami, Gainesville
