Hi, Lori Richard- Visual Storyteller.


I am an award winning photographer from Joplin, Missouri. I have been capturing images and important moments since 1998. The first time I picked up a camera I was in the 6th grade and never put it down! Well before there were camera phones I saved every cent from allowances, birthday money to babysitting so I could buy rolls of film and photo developing. Everything I see I picture the composite in my mind....I guess you could say my eye is always on point and looking for that perfect image. I want that perfect image to be YOU.


My clients love my energy and love seeing what I do with their images. Composites and Painterly have become a fan favorite with my families....I call them families because they are, they become family to me and I to them. I've watched some grow from birth to graduation, college, engagement, marriage and to start a little family of their own...and I will forever have them in my heart.
