Inclusive Lifestyle Photographer based in Columbus, IN
A photograph is made by converting photons (light particles) into an image that is captured indefinitely.
Columbus, IN is my home, but I also enjoy traveling. I aim to capture your memories, whether you live far away or are on vacation. I offer both studio and outdoor sessions throughout the year.
Hi, I’m Arika.
I’m the mad scientist behind Photon Capture Co. Chemist by day and photographer by night(s & weekends), the science of making memories is my passion.
My unique style and understanding of the way light (photons) react with their surroundings to make a scene glow is what makes me the perfect fit for your photography needs.
Meet Kirsten, my lovely wife.
Photon Capture Co. is LGBTQ enthusiastic and autism/ADHD friendly. I have been with my wife for 5 years and am on the spectrum.
I promise I’ll make things more awkward than you, so that you can feel cool, calm, and collected while I capture your images. Everyone is both safe and valid in my presence.

What People Are Saying
“Photon Capture Co. Is wonderful!!! We have done two sessions with her and they have turned out amazing! With having two toddlers pictures can be such a challenge and she was able to work well with them and get us amazing pictures!!! Will be coming back for more and highly recommend!!!”
“Absolutely amazing experience doing our photo shoot with Photon Capture Co. It was for senior pictures and my daughter is very shy but Arika did what she does best and we left with an abundance of beautiful pictures. And we will be back for more:)”
Arika is WONDERFUL. She kept in constant contact with me. I randomly reached out to her about an idea I had for a photoshoot. Not only did she validate the feelings I had about doing a spooky photoshoot, but she also helped me pick out poses. I had asked her to help make my fiancé, who is trans, feel exactly like himself in each picture. She went above and beyond. What I didn’t know is that she was working behind the scenes with my now fiancé to plan pictures for when he asked me to marry him. She is LGBTQIA+ friendly and will help you feel comfortable in your own skin, the entire time!! Can’t wait to book with her again!
“LOVED how our photos turned out from Photon Capture Co. She had the cutest ideas and inspiration for our session!! Very professional and original as well. For the quality you receive, the price is well worth every penny! Definitely recommend for anyone looking to get family photos taken!!!”
