Rhi Thistlethwaite |Â Artistic storyteller
Â
They say a picture speaks a thousand words, but I believe images tell stories far beyond words—
stories that can only be felt.
Photography is more than a visual record; it’s a doorway to the unseen parts of you, the essence that no bio or description could ever capture. In front of my lens, you aren’t just seen, you’re witnessed—your magic, your depth, your uniqueness.
Each image reveals a story that no one else can tell. It transcends the surface, inviting the viewer to see beyond your wisdom and your impact. They feel a connection to your soul, as if time stops and something deeper is understood.
You are not meant to blend in with the world. Your images are an expression of your truth, impossible to replicate. When we create together, we don't just take photos—we create a lasting testament to who you truly are.

"Art is about expression, and the more personal it is, the more universal it becomes."

Oh my God, what an experience! Booking my branding shoot with Rhi was the most beautiful, easy, and divine experience. When I booked the shoot, I was going through a pretty wild rebirth in my life, and with the new identity I was stepping into, I knew I needed branding photos to capture that. It was so beautiful to step into this new version of me and have it captured in these photos. The process was easy, graceful, and truly empowering, allowing this new identity and version of me to emerge and be expressed.
Rhi’s ability to coach me out of my head and into my body at the start of the photo shoot was EVERYTHING! Her eye for detail ensured my body was always positioned to accentuate the parts I love, while also repositioning others to look better, which gave me so much confidence! I have never had such an easy, empowering, and confident photo shoot. I am sooooo happy. Thank you, Rhi!

I had such a great experience working with Rhi. She is an amazing photographer, and I highly recommend her! It was an artistic photoshoot to capture me in my essence, a place of pure joy for me. Rhi captured that and so much more. She is easy to work with and super funny, which made me feel comfortable. She also provided guidance with poses and was clear about what she wanted to create. I get to use these beautiful photos for the rebranding of my art business. 🎨
