Let's answer the burning quesiton you are wondering- "How do I pronounce your last name?!". So many letters! It is much easier to say than to spell- it sounds like "Richey" with an "F" in front, "F-Richey". Now you'll never forget it! :)
Now that we have that out of the way, I want to thank you for being here and I want to share a little bit of my why and the heart behing my camera.
For me, motherhood is where I learned the value of photography. Growing up we never did family pictures, and I was never the girl with a camera. It wasn't "my thing". But the moment I held my first child, I knew I never wanted to forget a moment. My son's soft cheek pressed against mine, his tiny hand wrapped gently around my finger, every milk drunk smile was perfection, and I never wanted to forget. As much as I have wanted to, I cannot pause time. The sweet babies I once held in my arms now run around my feet and I realize now what a gift photography is. When the moment is gone, it is what remains.
These moments- Your engagement, your wedding day, the birth of your children are the milestones that tell the story of your life, and you deserve to have it expertly captured. I promise that when you choose me as your photographer, I choose you right back! I am there to capture all the big and small in-between moments. I am the calm in the chaos and I am there to care for you and those you love.
Warm, playful, lover of light, travel, and the desire to capture connection with my camera.
