Hi, I'm Eleanor!


I’m a lifestyle photographer based in Virginia. I live in Richmond with my three furry sons.


I’ve loved photography ever since middle school, when I got my first camera for my birthday. Something about capturing real, everyday moments just stuck with me. Today, I get to work with amazing people to create photos that feel like them. I love exploring a favorite spot, hanging out at home, or catching golden hour light, all while keeping things relaxed and fun.


I want each client to feel comfortable, seen, and excited about our session. We’ll plan it all together, from the big ideas to the tiny details, and create something beautiful that tells your story. I’d love to meet you and be part of whatever chapter you’re in right now.


What clients say about working with me

I really enjoyed my experience with Eleanor Ritzman Photography. She was very professional and took good advantage of our session time. I felt confident, beautiful, and comfortable because of great direction and collaboration. The photos came out amazing and polished. I highly recommend this photographer.
