RON . . .

Is the owner and photographer at Ron Richards photography. Ron started his career in photography over 30 years ago. Thru the years his photography has evolved and changed to meet the needs of his clients. Ron has made one of his dreams come true in locating his studio in the neighborhood of Oakdale. He renovated an 80-year-old dairy barn into a state of the art studio while still maintaining all of its charm and character. Stop by and visit, you will love its history and outdoor beauty. When not behind the camera you will find Ron cruising the roads on his Harley motorcycle. Or chasing after his puppies ginger and bear, but the sparkle you will find in Ron’s eye comes from his wonderful daughter Bridgette.

DENISE. . .

Is in charge of sales at the studio and for making everything run smoothly. She is often the first voice you will hear when calling the studio. Denise also has a special connection to the studio for she and Ron have been married for 34 years. They certainly inspire our true sense of family at the studio. When not at work Denise loves spending time with her Shitzu Sparky Danielle, & chatting long distance with their daughter Bridgette who is in her third year of college and doing great.

MAXINE. . .

Maxine loves creating unique images of her couple’s special day, and in the studio, you’ll find Maxine’s antics behind every child’s smile in our children’s portraits. When maxine puts down her camera, you will usually find her out and about with her family in her blue convertible.

Is our graphic design artist in charge of marketing and retouching for the studio. She also manages our face book account. Pam is a super asset to Ron Richards photography and always brings new and exciting ideas to the studio. Pam is a graduate of the art institute and currently working of her biggest project of all.
