Meet the Photographer
Hello, I’m Alita Amari Rey, founder of Amarirey Productions.
Photography has always been more than images to me. It is connection, storytelling, healing, confidence, and creating a space where people feel truly seen.
Over the years, my work has grown far beyond simply taking photographs. I have dedicated much of my career to creating empowering experiences for women, survivors, mothers, entrepreneurs, artists, and individuals rebuilding confidence within themselves. I believe photography should never feel intimidating, unsafe, or performative. It should feel like a place where you are respected, heard, protected, and celebrated exactly as you are.
With over 17 years of experience in both modeling and photography, I understand firsthand how vulnerable it can feel to stand in front of a camera. Because of this, I have built Amarirey Productions around creating a safe, supportive, and uplifting environment especially for women navigating confidence, healing, personal growth, or stepping into visibility for the first time.
Many of the projects closest to my heart involve nonprofit work, women’s empowerment, survivor advocacy, and community healing. From fundraising portrait series benefiting women’s shelters to projects focused on resilience, storytelling, and recovery, I believe photography can become a powerful tool for transformation and voice.
Helping women feel strong in their own skin, helping business owners feel confident showing up for their brand, and helping people reconnect with their worth through art is one of the greatest honors of my life.
I want every client who works with me to walk away not only with beautiful imagery, but with the feeling that they mattered, that their story mattered, and that they were safe throughout the experience.
My background in creative arts, modeling, branding, and visual storytelling allows me to create imagery that is both artistic and deeply personal. Whether I am photographing a survivor reclaiming her voice, a woman building her dream business, a mother documenting her family, or an artist stepping into self-expression my goal remains the same.
To create work that feels honest, empowering, timeless, and deeply human.
“Creating a safe and empowering environment for women in photography and creative industries is at the heart of everything I do.”
Past & Current Projects Close To My Heart
The Warrior Goddess Series
This project holds a special place in my heart. We shared 15 incredible survival stories from the women in our community, each one bringing to light the silver lining behind their journeys. From domestic violence survivors to those overcoming addiction, from the heartbreak of losing a child to breast cancer survivors, these women came together to create something powerful—a warrior portrait series. We showcased their strength in a beautiful gallery event that packed the house, and all proceeds were donated to Safe Embrace Women’s Shelter. It was an inspiring night that raised awareness in our community about the incredible strength and resilience of women.
Surviving PTSD and trauma is a brave act, and it should be honored. These women are living proof that overcoming such darkness takes immense courage, and their stories remind us that healing and strength are not only possible but should be celebrated.
US Wolf Refuge
The US Wolf Refuge project was an incredible journey that spanned over a year, resulting in a stunning calendar. I had the honor of teaming up with a wonderful group of performers to bring this picturesque adventure to life. Together, we worked to raise awareness about the importance of wolf conservation while also generating support for this quiet, safe sanctuary that offers these majestic creatures a unique refuge. It was an unforgettable experience that combined creativity and purpose to protect and celebrate the wolves.

My favorite photo of a animal I have ever captured.
Supporting rescues and sanctuaries for wolves and hybrid pets is incredibly personal for me. Growing up with a deep love for wolves, I felt a profound connection to this cause and couldn’t say no when the opportunity arose. Many of these animals find themselves in dire situations due to the actions or negligence of previous owners. They are often abandoned, abused, or misunderstood. By aiding these refuges, we provide them with the safe space and care they need to heal and thrive. Sanctuaries offer them a secure environment where they can live according to their natural behaviors, whether in a pack or as individuals. It’s deeply fulfilling to contribute to a cause that allows these majestic creatures to return to their true selves and flourish as the beautiful wolves they are meant to be.
