Hello, I'm
Clarissa Ricardo

I'm an experienced family and pet photographer based in Cambridge, New Zealand, specialising in capturing the unique bond and love within families and their beloved pets. Whether it's an outdoor adventure or a relaxed session in my home-based studio, I aim to create timeless pieces of art that will be cherished for generations to come.

The Studio Experience
At Studio Ricardo Photography, it's all about capturing genuine connections. Every session is a personalized experience, focused on revealing the love and joy shared between family members and their pets. You will be guided through a variety of poses to capture a variety of moments. You have the option of selecting various backdrop choices.
Outdoor Photography
Every family has a unique story, and I'm dedicated to capturing the essence of your family's love and togetherness. Through posed as well as candid photography, I aim to create a collection of images that portray the authentic beauty of your family bond. These sessions can be done outdoors or in studio.


Clarissa is a great person and fantastic photographer. My husband and I dislike having photos taken but after much (family) convincing we had a pregnancy and newborn baby shoot. Clarissa really made us feel at ease and the photos are fabulous. Thank you for capturing such special memories for us so beautifully!

I can't recommend Clarissa enough! She captures her subjects so beautifully & always manages to do in great light. She's great with unwilling small kids (& big husbands) - somehow managing to get smiles and precious moments on camera. You will treasure the images she creates for always.

Clarissa is such a friendly, caring person with a wonderful eye for the perfect picture. I would highly recommend using her for your next big event. I was so impressed with my son's newborn photos, it went above and beyond all my expectations.
