Hi there! it's so Nice to meet you,
I'm larissa
I'm the mom behind East River Pines Photography, and your go-to portrait photographer in Sioux Falls, SD. As a mom to a teenager (and a couple of pups!), I totally get how fast time flies. When I’m not capturing beautiful moments, you’ll find me watering my plants, sipping on a chai latte, or trying to sneak in some quiet time while the teen is (or isn’t) around. With well over a decade of experience, I’m here to create a relaxed, fun, and memorable experience for you & family—just like I would for my own.

READY TO TELL YOUR FAMILY’S STORY, JUST AS YOU ARE—RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW?
You don’t need to be anything but yourselves—your story is already worth being told, worth remembering. My approach is simple and intentional: I’m not here to overly pose or chase perfection. I’m here to slow down, tune in, and capture the moments that feel most like you. Families choose to work with me because they want photographs that reflect real connection—not just what this season looked like, but how it felt. If you’re looking for an experience that’s relaxed, meaningful, and rooted in authenticity, you’re in the right place.
Our children grow all too quickly, and it’s easy to put family photos off—telling ourselves we’ll do it next year. But before we know it, a year becomes two, and those everyday moments we thought would last forever have already changed.
I’ll guide you gently throughout our time together so you never feel unsure or out of place. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present. And when you look back on these photographs, I want you to remember the laughter, the closeness, and the love your family shares.
“I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel confident and comfortable—but your story doesn’t need to be polished to be beautiful. I’m just here to help you remember the stage you’re in—messy, beautiful, and entirely yours."
