Connie Riggio Photography

Knowing me means knowing us. Since Joe and I have been in love since we were 16 years old, we can genuinely say that our love has grown since the day we tied the knot. We have experienced more ups and downs than we should have, but everything has made us stronger, and we are who we are now because of everything we have been through TOGETHER. In addition to owning a personalized line of Riggio Guitars customized to your specifications, Joe also has his own business, Riggio Guitars, where he restores, refinishes, and repairs historic guitars. He's really hip! We have a son named Nick, a daughter named Amanda, and a son-in-law named Prat. In addition, we have Rito, a devoted Flame Mink Ragdoll, and Ketters, a charming Italian Greyhound puppy. My entire life has been spent in the Pacific Northwest. My first employment was in the corporate offices of REI after I earned my degrees from the University of Puget Sound in 1988 and Wilson High School in 1984, respectively. I remained with REI until the end of 2009, when I felt I needed a change in my life. REI is a terrific company with great employees, so I stayed there. I'm very happy I made that choice and went for something that called on more of my artistic side (even though I love that I have the technical background). In January 2010, I launched Connie Riggio Photography, and since then, I've enjoyed getting to know so many lovely customers and people I can now consider friends.
