Because Real Life Isn’t A Performance

I’ll bring: the conversation, the cues, and the camera. You bring: yourself (and your family). You get: warm and vibrant memories where your personality shines through.

“We Had So Much Fun We Forgot We Were Having Our Picture Taken.”

I’m here to make you feel comfortable so you can let loose and laugh at your partner’s corny jokes, watch your child’s eyes light up when they see a flower, and live fully in this moment.

“She captured their personalities perfectly.”

“I can not recommend Valerie enough as a photographer, especially if you want to capture moments with kids. Not only was her final product stunning but she was also thoughtful, open to our wishes, helpful with posing, easy to communicate with, and wonderful with our children.  We will treasure these photos for years to come. The biggest compliment we can give her is that we will call on her the next time we need photos and will recommend her to anyone asking!”

“Even if you’re awkward in photos like me, you’ll get beautiful photos because she makes the whole experience so fun and easy.” 

“Val is a wonderful photographer and fantastic human. She has shot both our wedding (she was 8 months pregnant and still more energetic than most) and our daughter’s first birthday and we were thrilled with all the photos we’ve ever received.  She will be our go-to photographer for the years to come!”

James Boyko

“Valerie was so kind and made us feel so comfortable right from the start.”

“I couldn’t recommend Valerie Richer more! She was our photographer for our wedding ceremony in the summer and she completely blew us away. She helped get our ceremony space set up in the short time window we had. She worked tirelessly during the ceremony to get every angle and special moment captured. She guided us to get the perfect shots for all of our photos. She knew the most perfect, most beautiful locations for additional photos. She even provided the perfect recommendation for our hair and makeup artist, who of course had wonderful things to say about Valerie as well. If you go with Valerie Richer Photography, you will not be disappointed!”
