Looking for a Wedding Photographer?
Head on over to Weddings to see if J. Richer Photography is the right fit for you.
We will have questions and want to hear all about your big day.
Wedding day?
Your day is very important to me. I will show up 30 minutes before the time you asked me to be there. I will be documenting everything. Prior to your wedding day, I will ask how it all started so I know your story and know what's important to you. Either you are wanting to do first look and family photos before wedding or just wedding photos after, make sure to have enough time before or after so we can make sure to get all those photos you wanted.
What should I wear?
Always wear clothing you feel comfortable & confident in. Coordinate clothing with others.
Think same tones and complimentary colors. Avoid busy patterns as these can be distracting in photos.
Think Neutral tones, Vibrant colors reflect lighting and can mess up skin tones in photographs.
If you are having an in home session and you want to wear your pajamas, we don't mind! We want to capture you in your natural state. Cuddles in bed look awkward in a suit and tie!
Here is my Pinterest account for outfit colors and options and you can always text me about this! I have moms that send me pictures with there dress on and ask for my opinion or pictures of all their outfits.

Do you print photos?
I do print photos and also can do a personalized USB with your album on it.
This would be an additional payment and it all varies on the price. I do go through amazing pro print shops.
If this is something you want, we can discuss the options.
Want to do a family session but your kids are wild?
Guess what, it's all kids. I am also a preschool teacher and also, I hear this A LOT!!
Am I judging? NOPE! I have a 4 year old and so I have been through the toddler life and now my son thinks he knows it all. Every family session I have had has always ended with parents and kids smiling unless the kid is hangry (Bring all the snacks, water and juice boxes parents). No, but in reality I want your session to be fun and show the raw footage of your family. Of course, we will get those family poses and then I like to end my session with a race, tag or a dance party for the kids and parents too!! It something they look forward to at the end.
