I’m Rianna Ben Sasi, a small-town girl from the southern suburbs who moved to Chicago with big dreams. When I stepped into this city, I carried more than just a camera—I carried a lifetime of emotions, stories of struggle, loss, and resilience.

In 2020, I lost my parent to addiction. It wasn’t just grief that weighed on me, but the years of battling self-doubt, depression, and never feeling like I was enough. Photography became my escape—my way of seeing the world differently, of capturing the rawness of emotion that so many people hide.

I created Made for More Chicago as a reminder that we are all made for more. More than our pain, our struggles, or the limitations the world places on us.

This is not just a photography studio. It’s a space for healing, empowerment, and self-expression—where you don’t have to put on a mask. Whether you’re celebrating love, stepping into your confidence, or finding beauty in your scars, I want to capture you—unfiltered, real, and unapologetic.

For those struggling with mental health, self-image, or financial hardship, Made for More is here to make professional photography accessible. Because everyone deserves to be seen.

📸 Let’s create something raw, something powerful, something you’ll always remember.
