Rima is a NYC based portrait photographer and instructor who captures people with a poetic and authentic point of view.

Rima says she is " . . . Inspired by the beauty and strength intrinsic to every individual." She clearly expresses this in her portraits of Families, Women's Beauty, Children, and Newborns. Clients who want a unique look seek out Rima for head shots for their business needs as well.
Rima's art career is complimented with a gift for teaching children pre-K through elementary school. She explains, "I will never give up the joyful experience of teaching children. They make you wonder, think, laugh, and learn." She brings this expression to her children's portraiture. Her romantic perspective is also clearly seen in her fine art, nature photography.
When not behind a camera or teaching, you can bet Rima is baking, walking in nature, dreaming by the ocean, dancing anywhere, or hanging out with her family.
