Atlanta School of Photography Meetup Group

Finding, photographing and retaining clients - get tips and tricks from experienced photographers on creating an ideal client experience!

Join ASoP Director, Sara Keith and two very special guest speakers, Ria Rouse of Ria Rouse Photography and Casey Ford of Breathe Images, to discuss making the scary financials of photography less scary.

Ria Rouse
Ria is a visual storyteller who centers sensuality, vulnerability, and emotional truth. As a boudoir photographer and artist, her work explores the intimacy of self-worship, the sacredness of desire, and the unapologetic joy of embodiment.
Rooted in her background in psychology and shaped by a lifetime of unlearning shame, Ria uses photography as both mirror and liberation tool—inviting women, couples, and those often left out of traditional beauty narratives to see themselves as art.
Her creative process is less about performance and more about reclamation. Through light, movement, and composition, she doesn’t just capture pleasure—she honors it.

Ria’s work is an invitation to feel more, to be seen deeply, and to take up space in your full, untamed glory.

She is incredibly proud of the work she does with the Atlanta School of Photography and can’t wait to take away the mystery of your camera.
