Elizabeth Richards

Professional Journey

Elizabeth’s background includes fifteen-plus years as a professional photographer and five years as a small business owner. Having been born and raised in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, she has an appreciation for nature and quality craftsmanship. Her career as a photographer and business owner has taught her that the job isn't done until the client is "grinning from ear to ear." This dedication to client satisfaction, paired with her business experience, makes her a skilled and reliable professional.

Noteworthy Achievements

Beyond her photography being featured in three magazines, Elizabeth’s creative talent was recognized when she won a graphic design contest. Over 400 local credit union employees will wear her t-shirt design during their community care days in 2025. This achievement highlights her ability to visualize and deliver a final product, a skill that translates perfectly to helping homeowners envision their finished projects.

Areas of Expertise

Elizabeth truly is a "jack of all trades." Her background as a business owner provides a foundation in sales and an understanding of customer needs. As a photographer, she developed an eye for detail and aesthetics, which allows her to help clients visualize the potential of their projects. She excels at building strong relationships and is excellent at handling custom orders with accuracy and client satisfaction. Elizabeth is the kind of person who insists on getting the job done right, the first time.

Hobbies & Interests

Elizabeth is returning to the 9-to-5 world because she's a people person. As a solo-entrepreneur portrait photographer, she missed working with a dedicated and hard-working team of goal-driven and results-oriented individuals. She's not giving up her business; she's just putting it on the back burner and trying something different for a while.

On the weekends, you will still find her purposefully lost in the woods, on an adventure, camera in hand, with her husband, son, and their dog. She loves to hike in National and State Forests, take long walks in local parks, go for bike rides with her family, read good books, and, above all else, travel! Her favorite destinations include Yosemite National Park, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., the Florida Keys, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Her second favorite thing to do is plan the next adventure!
