Hey , I'm Rick—your go-to guy for capturing life's authentic moments. Together, we'll illuminate your authentic self through the lens.
Based in Marion County, Florida, I’m a freelance photographer diving into a mix of genres—from animals and family portraits to commercial projects, advertising, and stunning landscapes. My journey kicked off in 2020, evolving into a creative pursuit that fuels my passion. I believe that art is a personal experience, and everything, from people to the world around us, has a unique vibe worth capturing. While graphic design lights my fire, photography is where I truly express my creativity.
My style blends candid moments with posed shots, capturing authentic connections and the essence of everyday life—whether it’s a family portrait or a breathtaking landscape. I strive to create a laid-back atmosphere that lets clients and subjects feel natural, ensuring the true character of each moment shines through in every image.
"Illuminate Your Authentic Self" isn’t just a tagline; it’s my mission. I’m all about capturing the real you, the spirit of the moment, and the stories within every frame. With a B.S. in Business Management, I bring a professional edge to my work, ensuring a seamless experience while keeping the creativity alive.
Looking ahead, I’m eager to explore street photography, adding an editorial and documentary flair to my portfolio. I aim to capture moments that tell stories, evoke emotion, and spark conversations.
Fun Fact: I named the business NAB Light after my two amazing daughters, Nelli and Aubree—NAB stands for Nelli Aubree Boyd, the true lights of my life and the inspiration behind this vision. Then, out of nowhere, along came another little champ—Berlin! Naturally, he got stuck with the letter "B" to keep the theme going. You’ll probably spot them all over this website; they’re my go-to models and the real stars behind the scenes!
