Hi, I'm Jared.

My name is Jared Rivas, and my passion for photography began with my greatest inspiration, my mom, Ruth Rivas. I have learned so much from her, and she is the person who first introduced me to the beauty of capturing moments through a camera.

Growing up, my mom would often ask me to take her pictures. She would guide me on the exact angles she wanted, how to position herself, and how to face the camera. As I got older, I continued taking pictures, gradually developing my skills and discovering my own creative eye. Every now and then, my mom would tell me, “Jared, you have a photographer’s eye.” Those words encouraged me to keep learning, improving, and pursuing photography.

In March 2024, I had the opportunity to photograph my first wedding alongside my mom, who was the lead photographer. She gave me the opportunity to capture some of the special moments throughout the day, allowing me to gain valuable experience. In December of that same year, I had another opportunity to photograph a wedding, this time taking on the role of lead photographer alongside my brother. Looking back, I could already see how much I had grown and improved.

Since then, I have continued developing my photography skills, working with professional camera equipment, and becoming part of my church’s Media Team, where I photograph church events, worship services, and other special occasions.

To me, photography is more than just a hobby; it is a passion and a part of who I am. I believe every photograph tells a story and preserves a moment that words alone cannot fully express. My goal is to capture those meaningful moments and turn them into memories that can be cherished for years to come.
