About
Heirloom Photo Company
I thrive when working to help other entrepreneurs grow!
If it's worth doing, it's worth being ALL in.
I am a professional people manager and I have mastered posing. Posing is all about body language. I have a backup plan for my backup plan. I get it done.
I am intense but light-hearted. Little brings me more joy than bringing out the best in others.
I may be the most expensive photographer in my area — because when people are looking for the cheapest, I am not their choice — but when they are looking for the best, they will call me.
The
BACKGROUND
Name
Rita Clark
Role
Owner & Lead Photographer
Rita grew up on a farm in Iowa, where her incredible work ethic was formed, and graduated from the Kansas City Art Institute with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Her professional photography career started in the event photography industry, where she won numerous awards and rave reviews.
Always looking for a new challenge, Rita shifted to helping other entrepreneurs and businesses tell stories through images. Rita, her husband, and her son make their home just outside Kansas City proper. Her incredible zest for life is reflected in her work and her life.
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
