Lost Creek Photography
Lost Creek Photography is a woman-owned pet photography business celebrating the deep bond between people and their animal companions. Founded by Rita Romayev, Lost Creek creates exclusive, high-quality artwork that captures the love, personality, and spirit of each pet — transforming moments into timeless, printed memories.
Rita’s passion for photography is rooted in her own story — growing up in a military family taught her the power of photographs to create a sense of home and belonging. Today, she brings that same emotional connection to every client experience, helping pet parents preserve meaningful memories that last a lifetime.
Dedicated to her local community, Rita also volunteers with the Flathead Humane Society, using her photography to help shelter animals find their forever homes.
Through Lost Creek Photography, Rita combines artistry, compassion, and community spirit — crafting heirloom-quality images that celebrate love, connection, and the animals who make our lives whole.
Growing up in a military family and moving often, Rita learned the emotional power of photographs — how printed images could turn each new house into a home and preserve a sense of belonging through change. That early lesson shaped her belief that photography is more than art — it’s love, memory, and connection made visible.
As a one-woman business, Rita personally guides every step of the client experience, from the first meeting to the delivery of handcrafted artwork designed to last for generations. Her calm energy, patience, and deep understanding of animals allow her to create timeless, heartfelt portraits that celebrate the soul of every pet.
Beyond her work with clients, Rita volunteers as a photographer for the Humane Society of Northwest Montana, helping shelter animals find their forever homes. Her compassion for both people and animals inspires every image she creates.
