Hi, I'm Rachelle Rico

Hi, I'm Rachelle Rico

Owner of Rachelle Rico Photography. I've been photographing families, pets, high school seniors, headshots in St. Louis since 2018.
For 35 years as a teacher and school administrator, I've spend my life focusing on what truly matters: connections and belonging. During the 2020 shut down, I saw first hand how vital those bonds are to our emotional well-being. That was the moment I realized photography isn't just about pictures; it's about capturing the heartbeat of a family so they always have a visual reminder of the love that anchors them.
There is a palpable joy that fills the room when my clients see their most treasured connections preserved for a life time. It's the same joy I feel at home in St. Louis with my husband of 35 years, our 4 daughters, and 11 grandchildren.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll likely find me at the Farmer's Market with my daughters, traveling to Mexico, or curled up on the couch binge watching a series with my two dogs and cat.
I believe in giving back to the community, and I'm so honored to help you support a cause close to your heart through photography.

What Auction Winners Experience

at Rachelle Rico Photography

Here's What I Donate to Community Auctions:

01

Professional Design

Consultation

Professional Design Consultation

I meet with the family in their home first to measure wall spaces and plan wardrobes. We design a plan for wall artwork to fit their home's specific style before the photo session.

02

The Cinematic Reveal

The family sees their portraits for the first time on a cinema-sized screen at their ordering appointment. It's an emotional, celebrated event where I guide them through the selection process so they're never overwhelmed.

03

Finished Heirloom Art

I handle every detail from concept to final delivery. The winner receives finished, museum-quality artwork ready to be enjoyed on their walls, not files that get stuck on a hard drive.

Because of this full-service approach, the donation from Rachelle Rico Photography typically earns the organization $500–$1,000+. This helps the organization reach its fundraising goals faster.
