About Me

   Hello,

   I’m Richard Andersen, an artistic portrait and pet photographer dedicated to creating meaningful, expressive, and enduring images. Though early in my career, I’ve grown quickly through a deep passion for visual storytelling and hands-on training with a mentor who has over 20 years of professional experience. That guidance has helped me build a strong foundation in both the artistic and technical sides of photography, shaping the way I approach every session.

    I’m inspired by the beauty, emotion, and quiet stories found in everyday life. My artistic portraits focus on character and mood, using thoughtful lighting and intentional detail to create images that feel intimate and timeless. When photographing pets, I bring a warm, patient presence that lets each animal’s unique personality—playful, soulful, or wonderfully quirky—shine naturally.

    Above all, I believe in connection, clarity, and craftsmanship. My goal is to turn simple moments into personal works of art and to give every client an experience that is refreshing, professional, and truly memorable.

    If you’re looking for portraits that feel genuinely you, or pet photos that capture the heart of your companion, I’d love to work with you.
