I absolutely love what I get to do!
It’s so much fun to create a storytelling experience that makes people feel like stars, models, and masterpieces.
And, there’s nothing better than seeing the tears of joy, hearing the laughter, and watching the difference this experience and the art it creates makes in the lives of real people.
I’ve seen first-hand the power of epic photo art to capture confidence that really elevates people and businesses, empowers them to proudly own their personal brand, and helps them show up strong in life.
For me, it’s like precision pictorial poetry where I get to sculpt shadows, bend light, and frame beauty to magically reflect your epic story.
So, let me invite you to a moment and memories handcrafted to show the world your best you.
Michelle

With over 30 years of experience, Michelle Richardson is a client’s dream. Her unique ability to set people at ease, capture their essence, and infuse energy into every photoshoot experience sets her apart as elite in her field.
Her epic photo art speaks for itself
Beyond her art, she’s passionate about her family, church, horses, and empowering others to feel great about themselves.

I am NOT a professional model by any stretch of the imagination and was so nervous heading into the day, yet from the moment I walked into Richardson Studio, Michelle and team made me feel like I belonged on the cover of a magazine. I traveled quite a distance because of her reputation, and let me say, it was worth every mile.
From professional makeup and flawless hair styling to carefully curated outfit selections, every detail was thought of. Michelle didn’t just take photos she captured me. All sides of my personality, every ounce of confidence (even the hidden kind), came through in her lens.
She has a true gift for making someone who has never done a shoot feel comfortable, natural, and radiant. The images aren’t just pictures; they are works of art that I’ll be proud to use across press releases, corporate platforms, and media outlets. She managed to highlight both my strength and authenticity.
If you are looking for a photographer who will exceed every expectation, Michelle at Richardson Studio is in a league of her own. She doesn’t just take photos; she elevates people. I cannot recommend her enough, and I am certain anyone lucky enough to work with her will walk away with not only incredible photographs, but an unforgettable experience. Caution: the experience is so great I fear it is highly addictive in good way. Can't wait to do it again!!!

We’re ready to create your best day ever.
