Secrets of The Pros by Rick Goedecke

Rick – Photographer, Mentor, and Business Guide

I began my full-time photography career in the early ’90s, capturing portraits of individual business professionals. That path naturally expanded—first to families and weddings, then to photographing newborns in their homes, where I found my true calling.

Over time, my work behind the camera opened doors to something deeper: private consulting, mentoring emerging photographers, and leading creative entrepreneurs through business development and leadership training.

I believe photography is more than a skill—it’s a way to find purpose, connect deeply with others, and build a life around what moves you. My approach is hands-on, personal, and rooted in real-world experience. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to level up, I help people from all walks of life turn passion into progress.
