“Working with Laura Richards Photography was a dream come true! She captured us and our connections to each other and ended up with a huge portfolio of the most beautiful and real photos that I have ever seen. I cried when we viewed the slideshow. I had to purchase them all in an album, which is the best quality and a worthy heirloom."
- Andrea M., Charlottesville, Va.
"I'm so glad we invested in a session with Laura. I loved that Laura did the hard work of taking the pictures, creating the photo album and framed picture, and delivering it all straight to my door. Her attention to detail and quality of craft is so impressive. I would highly recommend her to any new mom who wants to elevate her family photos."
- Anne W., Charlottesville, Va.

Laura is so good at piecing together all the little moments and capturing you as you are. Laura brings out all the beautiful parts of a couple or family."

"Our experience with Laura was phenomenal. She is warm, kind, honest, and down-to-earth. Her approach put us at ease, and allowed all of us ... to be who we are. Words cannot even begin to describe the beauty of her photos. Her warmth is reflected in each photo through her ability to capture much more than smiles, but rather a beautiful story of emotion ... that takes us right back to that moment in time."
- Heather A., Charlottesville, Va.
"As sleep deprived new parents, we had no idea what we were doing, but Laura guided us through everything and it turned out beautifully. The prints ... are very high quality and will last forever. The [Keepsake Folio] is gorgeous as well and something you'll want displayed in your home."
