Every leap, every bow, beautifully captured.
Your dancers work all year for a few minutes on stage. We make sure those moments last.
I’ve been behind the camera since 2003, and today the Snapbox Collective photographs events, families, and businesses across the Tri-Valley and Bay Area. We know how to shoot fast-moving performers in tricky stage light, stay out of the way backstage, and deliver images that families treasure and studios are proud to share.
"So grateful for the pictures Rikki took of my girls’ ballet performance! Such a delight and joy to see my girls captured the way I see them. He has a great eye, great timing, and captures images I wouldn’t think to get."
