Olive & Rittiner

HELLO THERE.

Hey there! My name is Candie and I am the person behind Olive & Rittiner. I've been doing photography professionally since 2010 and although it has led me to many other ventures- Event Management, Event Design, Social Media & Online Marketing, Custom Print & Virtual Design, Illustration, Paintings & Sculpture work- Photography has remained a part of the brand. 

Between kids, other areas of work, and everything else that comes with life, I open limited photo sessions seasonally. These provide me with so much joy as I've gotten to be a part of so many families and their stories. About 90% of my clients return every year, which is a huge blessing. If there's a part of life that you'd like documented, please reach out!

5 FAST FACTS:

1. South Louisiana native. Cajun born and bred. I grew up in a multicultural home and environment and my roots run deep.

2. I'm a wife, a mom, a dog mom and I begrudgingly own an insect terrarium. 

3. I have a Bachelor's degree in Art & Design and a Bachelor's degree in Business Communication. You'll see me sporting Purple & Gold or Cougar Red instead of maroon.

4. I honor a judgement free zone. Bribing your kids with candy to get them to smile? Do it. Need to be photographed from the left because your self-tan is streaking? Done. I'll let you know if an extension is falling or a chicken cutlet is loose, mama don't play.

5. I pray a lot. My faith is important to me. This is a big part of me but doesn't have to be a big part of you. I aim to respect and lift up everyone I come across.
