    I'm excited to announce Maggie Rife Photography will now be operating as Rife Ponce Photography!

    In the mean time, here are a few facts about me:

    1. You know how some people take coffee breaks during their work day? Well I take dance breaks. I love to boogie.
    2. I have a bad case of wanderlust. So far I've visited 12 countries, but dream of trips to many more.
    3. I enjoy building things (I recently finished a canopy bed made from PVC piping, metal chains, and curtains).
    4. Pancakes are my favorite food. If I ever retire, I want a pancake cafe called Magcakes. If I had to choose one last meal, it'd be pancakes.
    5. I have a cat named Nina and a husband named Anthony. They rank in importance in the order I mentioned them. Just kidding...sorta...

Tina and Manny’s Spring Engagement Session

Filed in: Engagement

It was at a Starbucks, where Tina first noticed Manny.  They were both there, sipping caffeinated drinks, while studying for grad school.  Eventually they started chatting. Chatting lead to dating, and dating lead to their upcoming nuptials on June 1st.   I can’t wait to share those photos as well!  Check back then!

Mamma Maria and Baby Fiona’s First photo!

Filed in: Babies

This past Christmas, Maria delivered her first child. Where Maria’s skin is olive and hair a dark, raven brown, Fiona has big blue eyes, and there’s a tinge of red in her fair hair. Still, they make the prettiest mom-daughter combination, bringing smiles every where they go.

Teachers twist, bend, and stretch for bikram yoga photos of their beloved practice.

Filed in: Portrait

This is the fourth time I’ve worked with the staff of Bikram Yoga River North Studios.  I first encountered the studio while shooting this assignment for PopSugar. The following spring, Owner Mike Frayer asked me to come back in to capture these portraits of staff members, then called shortly after with another request for pictures of merchandise.  By the time I walked into the studio for the shoot below of staff members modeling the various postures of the Bikram Yoga practice, I felt like I was returning to old friends. It’s a pleasure to work with such nice, talented, and fun people, not to mention inspiring!  I took myself to the gym the very next day!
