sAN DIEGO & SOCAL PET PHOTOGRAPHY
 
Hi, I’m Rico. Welcome to my Ruff Life.
 
 
I’m a 4-year-old Shih Tzu with a tan topknot and very strong opinions about treats. My human, Evelina, is the photographer and editor behind every portrait. She spent 30 years in LA working in marketing and design before we moved to San Diego, and now we pop up at dog-friendly patios, breweries and shops across Southern California so your pet can be the star. I handle the greetings. She handles the camera. Everyone gets a treat.
 
sAN DIEGO & SOCAL PET PHOTOGRAPHY
 
Hi, I’m Evelina (and this is Rico)
 
 
I’m the photographer and editor behind Rico’s Ruff Life, and Rico is my 4-year-old Shih Tzu, official greeter and creative director. After 30 years in LA working in marketing and design, I moved to San Diego and turned Rico’s brand into a pet photography business. We create playful portraits for pets with personality, at pop-ups around town, holiday minis and pup parties across Southern California.
