⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Testimonials & Reviews for Richard Parker Photos

Modeling and Senior Portraits

We've known Richard for years and were so excited to participate in his InModel experience and Lauren's Senior Portraits. Lauren had an amazing time with his Influencer Model team and we could not be happier with her Senior Portraits. She now has a lot of great photographs for her portfolio and we have great memories of the experiences. I highly recommend Richard. He is creative, talented, is amazing at making people feel comfortable and he is professional. He is a master at his craft

Professional Headshots

This is the 3rd time I’ve hired Richard for photography sessions. Twice for professional headshots and once for my son’s graduation pictures. Richard is an amazing photographer and knows how to pull the best lighting, angles and backgrounds in to ensure the best pictures are taken. He communicates and helps you get comfortable in front of the camera and he is fast. His sessions are to the point and fast paced. His turn around on proofs is also timely, and using his platform for approvals is super simple. He is passionate about his profession and I highly recommend him for your next photo needs personal or professional.

Destination Sessions

My daughter has had the opportunity to shoot with Richard on three different occasions and each time it's been amazing. Richard is such a fun, creative and talented photographer - the images he captures are gorgeous. He is able to instil so much confidence in his models, the initial shyness or awkwardness disappears and they relax and just enjoy the whole experience. I would highly recommend Richard, he is a wonderful photographer who creates such a great rapport with his models and his work is superb.

Destination Sessions

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! We were actually introduced to Richard on a collective shoot with other photographers and we represented our local photographer. Each photographer had the opportunity to shoot with all the models present and I was immediately blown away by Richard’s creativity and his dedication to put himself in any crazy position to get an amazing shot of the models. As we got our opportunity to work with him we were not just blown away but we fell in love with his charisma, his gentleness to guide, his compassion, and his fun and genuine spirit. You will not go wrong going with Richard, in fact you will experience excellence at its best!

Destination Sessions

Loved working with Richard! I am a model for another photographer located in Houston, but was given the opportunity to work with Richard in Las Vegas and South Padre Island. Going into it, I was a little nervous/insecure working with other photographers, but Richard made me feel comfortable from the get go. I had a blast with Richard and learned so much from him, and ended up with some amazing photographs as the final result. Couldn't recommend working with him more!

Destination Sessions

My daughter was lucky to meet and have her photos taken by Richard at a One Collection shoot in Las Vegas earlier this year. She loved his shooting style and had so much fun working with him. When we heard he was planning a destination shoot in Padre Island, TX, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity. His destination shoots are very well planned and executed. He provided Pinterest boards of his creative and fun concepts months before the shoot. We had plenty of time to gather the items we needed for each look, and we felt well prepared for the shoot. Therefore, my daughter was able to focus on having fun and shooting with Richard at the destination. I am so glad we went, and the photos are absolutely stunning! Richard is a true artist and a master at his craft. I highly recommend him and we can’t wait to attend another destination shoot with him again soon.

Richard took the most AMAZING photos of my son for his Senior photos. In a world where it seems that everyone elses pictures look exactly the same, Richards work stands out as different....unique...AMAZING. If you're going to pay for someone to do a professional job, why would you want that job to look like everybody elses? Richard took his time and worked with my son to get some great photos. He's patient, professional, and without a doubt a Godly man of his word! I can't say enough good things about the whole experience. Richard WILL be coming back to shoot photos for us again!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Richard! He goes above and beyond with his work, very personable, honest, and direct. He did our engagement pictures, as well as photographing our entire wedding and reception and I am so happy we chose Richard. Richard is very talented and has an eye for seeing the things that will make the most beautiful pictures. We are so happy that we have the most gorgeous pictures to remember our day!

Kids Portraits

Richard is awesome! He took amazing pictures of my daughter and her friend during a Besties shoot. The girls felt so comfortable with him and he made it so fun for them it all came thought in the pictures. He was able to capture their fun, playful, beautiful sides. He is very professional and a talented photographer. Just beware you will have a difficult time picking out the pictures you want to keep. We had so many wonderful shots! But that is a great problem to have.....

Kid Portraits

Richard is a phenomenal photographer and artist! It is a true work of art to photograph young children. We recently did a shoot with Richard for our son's 2 year photos. The photos came out amazing! Richard captured our son's personality to a tee. And his vision for the photos was beautiful. Richard went out the day before and set up a few props too. I would highly recommend Richard for any family photo shoot. I know I'll be using him again!

Family Portraits

Richard is professional, patient, and super fun to work with. When it comes to a priceless photo of your family, you want only the best that will last for generations to come. Richard knows how to capture moments and smiles in a way that most can't. He has a gift for photography and I'm grateful that I booked him for our family photos. Richard also gives back a portion of his pricing to charitable organizations which makes the whole experience that much more special. Thanks, Richard, for a positive experience from start to finish!

Family Portraits

Wedding Photography

Richard took the pictures for our wedding last month, and they are nothing short of incredible! He was recommended by a friend for his attention to detail and artistic eye, and he didn't disappoint. Richard was completely self sufficient at the wedding, always there when I was hoping a moment was being captured. He interacted well with our guests and became a part of the party, enableing shots that captured the personalities of our family and friends. Our pictures were received promptly and told the story of our wedding start to finish. We will use Richard again as we grow our family!

Richard is great! He's creative and goes the distance to get great photos! The photos he took of our family are meaningful, taking them in downtown Austin at so many of our favorite spots! One of the coolest shots is of us standing in the middle of Congress St. with the Capital behind us! The shots are cool and it was a super fun shoot! We had a hard time choosing which picture to use. On our Christmas card so we ended up doing a collage of 5 of them!

Kid Portraits

Richard's talent is obvious by his beautiful work and gifted eye for the perfect shot. What new clients should know about him is that he has gift of making his subjects feel incredibly comfortable, He brought out the best in our young daughter. She is shy, but, Richard made her feel very self-assured and confident. He is amazing with children and teens. His gift behind the camera is matched with his ability to capture the spirit of the person. We will go back to him again and again. Thank you, Richard! You created memories for us that we will cherish for a lifetime.

I am thrilled with my experience working with Richard � He was kind, funny, professional, talented, and on top of that cute! The quality of the work he does cannot be described with any word other than amazing. He did my wedding and worked every angle and did not miss a thing! Every moment that I missed he captured. His assistants were also top notch. He was so fun to work with and a pleasure to be around. The end result of my photo gallery blew me away! If I ever have another event I will use him again and if you want a magnificent photo experience he's your dude!!

Richard took our family pictures which included a very active three year old. He was very patient and played with her to grab her attention during the session. He made us feel very comfortable and never rushed the session. Some of my favorite pictures are the ones that he took in the moment like while we were walking, me fixing my daughter's hair, or a toddler being a toddler. The final product is simply amazing. He's an excellent person and photographer!

Senior Portraits

Richard took our son Will's senior portraits. All the pictures are incredible! It is impossible to pick my one favorite! Richard truly captured how we are always going to remember Will at 18. He was patient, relaxed, creative and really related to Will (which is very apparent in every picture!). Will was very comfortable and he enjoyed his time with Richard.Thank you, Richard, for helping us capture this special time in Will's life!BTW-- We will be back next Fall when Justin graduates from UT. I can't wait to see what magic you work on the UT campus!

Co-Chair Mustang Derby Gala

Richard is a gem! Not only is he an incredibly talented (!!) photographer, but he was a pleasure to work with. Richard was communicative, pleasant, positive, organized and on-time. He arrived early and stayed late... all the while making our 230 gala guests & volunteers feel comfortable and at ease immediately. His photographs were a treasure, truly capturing "moments" rather than just faces. I HIGHLY recommend Richard to any and all.

Head Shots & Portrait Photography

Richard worked with us to capture head shots of our team for our organization's website. What's great is that he works with you beforehand to ensure he's capturing the type of shot you want with the right look and feel -- versus just cramming you into some cookie-cutter head shot set up that misses the mark. He combines the right mix of art and professionalism that will leave you pleased with the results every time. If you're looking for high-quality head shots done right, Richard is THE MAN you want!

Great with our toddler!

We wanted to give a photoshoot with our toddler to my husband's mother for Christmas. Richard came warmly recommended and he more than delivered! He was patient, good at giving direction, and so in tune with the environment and what could be leveraged for the best shots. He was also flexible, working with our toddler's interests, attention and energy level. Richard gave us more time than we expected, and the resulting photos are wonderful! We plan to use him in the future as other photography needs arise.

Childrens Photography & Portraits

I wanted to surprise my family last Christmas with photos of my niece and nephew and after seeing all the beautiful photos Richard has taken of the children in Africa, I knew he was the right person to photograph my niece and nephew. Richard spent several hours at a downtown Dallas park and on the McKinney Avenue trolley capturing their sweet smiles, toddler energy, and their love for one another. I was so happy with how the photos turned out. My dad was overjoyed, he actually cried, when he received the pictures of his grandchildren as a surprise Christmas gift. Everyone in our family comments on how they can't believe Richard was able to capture the true personalities of two toddlers. And a true testament to his talent with children is my niece and nephew asked about "Mr. Richard" for several days after the shoot, they LOVED him.

Event and Life Photography

Richard's photos make me feel like I'm there. We have been fortunate to have Richard photograph several events for Mobile Loaves & Fishes, and every time he gives us more than we asked for. Richard has an amazing ability to capture the moment, not just document the event. His photos are more than technically brilliant, they evoke the emotion of the encounter. With Richard behind the lens, I always get more than a pretty picture; I get an experience.

Richard did an amazing job on our engagement photos. What I love most about him is how every shot he made sure to make it PERFECT. To be honest, there are tons of photographers out there and he truly is the best one (not just saying that, he truly is). He is SUPER friendly and really made me feel gorgeous all day in every photo. Everyone keeps asking me where we had our photos done. I have him booked for my actual wedding and cannot wait until I see the results from our special day! THANKS RICHARD!
