I'm a work at home mom of a great little boy, Logan (born May 11, 2006) and beautiful little girl, Madelyn (born Nov 7, 2008). I run my own photography company, Don't Say Cheese - Photography by Rhiannon Risidore.

I started posting pictures on here as a way for family & friends to keep up to date on our lives (which is why the overload of pictures of my family), but have since decided to also use it as a tool to learn, grow and try new things based on my inspirations from other members. I love to hear feedback on my photos (good and bad) and appreciate all the comments, favourites and views I receive :)

I currently own:

Canon 5D Mark II

Canon 50D

Speedlite 580ex II

Speedlite 430ex

Canon 35L f/1.4 lens

Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens
