More Than Just a Photo—It’s Your Story
Hey there, I’m Rickie Recardo! I’m a family photographer who believes the magic is in the in-between moments—the hugs that last a little longer, the messy hair, from belly laughs, to quiet glances. I capture the memories that matter most-so you can relive them for years to come.
Every session is a chance to slow down and celebrate your people, just as you are. My goal? To give you photos that make you smile today and tear up ten years from now.
“Celebrating family with portraits that last a lifetime. We specialize in family photography, children’s portraits, and lifestyle sessions throughout Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Newport News.”
Memorable moments never forgotten
Hello and welcome to Rickie Recardo Photography. From the moment I pressed the shutter button on my camera, the vision became clear that I wanted to be a professional photographer, not specific to one genre, but to what interested me the most. Therefore, Portraits, Engagement, and Branding are my specialties. I look forward to meeting new customers and continuing to build working relationships with repeat clients.

Alopecia awareness 365
To every man, woman, child, and teenager walking through life with Alopecia — please know this: you are not defined by your hair, but by the strength, beauty, and light that lives within you. Alopecia may change what you see in the mirror, but it can never touch your spirit, your smile, or the unique story only you can tell.
There will be days that feel heavy, but there will also be days filled with courage, love, and confidence. You are proof that beauty is limitless — that it comes in many forms, and that confidence shines brightest when it’s rooted in self-acceptance. Children and teens, especially, carry a strength beyond their years; you inspire others every time you walk proudly and let your personality shine. To the adults, your resilience and grace light the way for those still finding their voice.
At Rickie Recardo Photography, we believe your story deserves to be celebrated. A photo session isn’t just about pictures — it’s about capturing your essence, your confidence, and the person you truly are. Whether it’s a portrait filled with laughter, a moment of quiet strength, or a joyful celebration of you just as you are, our lens is here to remind you that you are already beautiful, already enough.
Let us create timeless images that showcase your courage and your journey. Because every chapter of your life — including this one — is worth remembering. With us, your moments will always be Memorable Moments Never Forgotten.
