About Me

Donna Richens LRPS

Hi, thanks for stopping by, I've written a little about myself and why I am so passionate about portrait photography! If you would like more information about any photography services, please don't hesitate to contact me.

I trained at university when my own children had grown up and I finished my course after two years with 100% distinctions.  Now a doting grandmother, decided that my love for them gave me a new passionate direction and I made the bold decision to specialize in Newborn photography & 1st birthday Cake Smash portraits. My studio is based in Tilehurst, Reading and I offer a bespoke service priding myself in offering a high standard of service, paying attention to detail and the up most care with safety always assisted with a newborn session.

I have had many years of experience with all kinds of photography, from portraits to weddings through to theatre, publicity and events. Much of my work has been published in national and international magazines, model agencies and used in advertising campaigns.

They say every picture tells a story, and nothing could be truer than when it comes to portrait photography. Every click, every frame and every photo captures a special moment in time as we journey through life. Newborns grow so quickly into toddlers then onto teenagers, until they have families of their own!  Age and life experience has taught me that in the end, looking back at our memories, photographs become a very special reminder of our lives, not just for now, but for generations to come.

Whether you are thinking about a Newborn, Cake Smash or other kind of photography service, I am here to capture those precious memories.
