Joyful & heartfelt portraits

San Francisco Bay Area Fine Art Photographer

We had a wonderful experience with Reka! She took our family pictures when our daughter turned one and they were amazing! She knows the perfect lighting even on a super sunny day, and was able to entertain our active 1 year old who didn’t feel much like participating. We have so many wonderful pictures of her smiling and laughing. We couldn’t have asked for better photos! We had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Reka. Thank you so much for giving us these lasting memories!

Réka did a phenomenal job with our family photos! She was super easy to work with, relaxed and professional. She knew her location and lighting and we got fantastic shots as a result. Her prices were very reasonable and we’ve already scheduled a second session for more photos this summer. Plus her turn around time for photo edits was fast. Can’t say enough about how much we loved our photos and working with Réka.

I love working with Reka. She’s very easy and accommodating to work with. Most importantly, she’s a mom like me and understands the dynamics of photographing a little one. My LO was laughing and having a great time in the car on the way to the photo shoot. Once we got there and we started the photo shoot, he became a different child. When he gave us the occasion smile and laughter, Reka was there to capture it. We got our photos and they are beautiful, so beautiful that it brought me tears looking at them.

“Reka is a phenomenal artist and photographer. She has the unique ability to capture genuine moments and create timeless portraits.”

Hi! I’m Reka.

I was born and raised in Hungary (if you haven’t tried Hungarian cuisine you are missing out!).

From a young age, I have been captivated by the world of art and photography. I would often borrow my parents’ film camera, going through countless rolls. Although my early photographs were NOT great, I relished the opportunity to experiment and learn.

I later graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, combining my love for art with a minor in psychology and a specialization in education.

After a few years in visual design, I found my calling at the Peninsula Museum of Art in Burlingame, where I developed and facilitated art programs for young children and curated shows with artists.

When my first child, Nolan, was born in 2017, I took a step back to spend more time with him. Being home with Nolan was great, but I was eager to start something new… something I’ve always wanted to do but never quite knew. Shortly after Nolan’s first birthday, I officially launched my photography business. My second child, Léna, was born in 2019, and she brings so much joy and laughter to our family. 

Fun fact: My husband, Deon, and I are high school sweethearts who met in physics class.

Aside from photography and my family, I enjoy reading, woodworking, and recently started taking pottery lessons. I invite you to get to know me better by following me on Instagram where I share daily snippets of my life. 

With a deep appreciation for art and a love for capturing life’s most precious moments, I am passionate about telling stories through my lens. Let me help you create lasting memories for you and your family.
