Our Team

Ricochet was started in June 2002 by Anne Thielen. Originally a full-service marketing and design agency, Ricochet evolved to focus on what we do best – Production. We provide the tools for our clients to achieve their goals through experience and expertise at every level by utilizing people who are the best at what they do.

We ensure that everyone on the crew from the photographer, stylist, assistants, and production team are there for one reason: to deliver the best possible outcome for our clients.

How Can we help?

Anne Thielen

Anne Thielen began her career in production as a grip on photoshoots for a boating manufacturer in high school. As the years progressed, she went from assisting on those shoots to running them. After some time in the ad agency world, she started doing her own thing. That was almost 20 years ago. She has 2 boys in traveling hockey and baseball, a husband who coaches those boys, happens to be the PTA president and loves a buttery chardonnay.
J.J. Bitter

J.J. Bitter found her start working as a print & runway agent for a local model and talent agency and jumped into the still production world a few years later. She has worked as a freelance producer for the last 10 years on every kind of photo shoot from food to fashion, room sets to tabletop. JJ knows that the secret to a successful and fun production is organization, hard work, and assembling a fantastic crew! Some of her very favorite things include her family, long walks with her dog Baxter, a great playlist, and finding a good estate sale!
