Defining Imagery is all about capturing the personality & essence of people via photography through the heart and soul of professional children's and family portraits photographer/artist J Richards. This award-winning Long Island photographer has a relaxed style that lets the real you shine through. "Photography is art! Art needs freedom to flow and express itself. Where better to do that than in familiar places with people who feel like old friends?"
Most portrait photography sessions take place on-location; the client's home, the beach, a favorite park, playground, etc. - the places where you live your life - the places that are an important part of who you are, and have special meaning for you.
Ms. Richards believes that "No one style of photography can possibly fit every client's needs. I can't be everything to everyone, so I don't attempt to." Instead, at Defining Imagery, we work only the way we like to work, with clients who love our style of imagery and want to have fun creating beautiful artistic, heartfelt images with us. This keeps our photography fresh and full of life, and it keeps our clients happy as we create artwork that you'll treasure for a lifetime.
"Our clients love us because we truly care about each and every image we create. Each snap of the shutter is special because it has captured and preserved a precious, fleeting moment that would have been gone forever!"
Jo Anne patiently waits for the moment to evolve, rather than firing off dozens of meaningless frames. It's all about the quality of the moment - "You can't make a quality image if you're not starting with a quality moment."
