Our Story

Our Faves
so many adventures. We feel as if we have been married for 25 years, in a good way (lets just say 3 of 5 kids, in the past 3 years equals 11 car accidents!) The kids range in ages from 15 to 23 and in spite of our totaled cars, they are all a blast to just hang out with! When we have all the kids together the energy in the house is electrifying and it is really some of our favorite moments in life to sit back and watch them interact, especially now, as young adults.
It is easy to get caught up in the day to day grind, as we do not have a typical marriage. Because Craig is overseas for work, it grants us a unique sense of appreciation. We are truly grateful for every moment we have with each other and our kids when Craig is home for the holidays. We are so thankful for our life and this business journey is a huge part of that. Our ultimate vision is to have Craig retire early bringing him home for good, and join Amanda Richardson Photography. As it is now he is involved in a lot of our behind-the-scenes work ;-)
Hello, thank you for stopping by! I am a photographer, recipe creator, wine lover, music lover and most importantly wife and mother to 5 awesome kids. I split my time between the United States and Doha, Qatar (where my husband is located for work) and I to shoot everywhere in between!
When I am not taking pictures, you will likely find me and hubby, Craig on a beach or in the mountains of North Carolina. Home to us is wherever our kids are.
Craig and I have been married for almost 5 years. He has been my constant support system and best friend through

"We had an amazing experience working with Amanda for an event for Mei Mei Restaurant! Even with florescent lighting, not much space, and a total time crunch, she magically delivered a gallery of beautiful photos that I can't wait to use.
Thank you Amanda!"

Our philosophy begins and ends with loving on our clients by creating an experience. We don't believe in snapping pictures and delivering a gallery. It goes well beyond photographs for us. Amanda Richardson Boutique Photography is built on relationships. We would never claim to be a one-stop-shop for just anyone interested in having their picture taken. Instead, we take pride in building our education to serve a special kind of clientele. After investing in a significant amount of education, Amanda decided to offer her gifts not only to Culinary professionals, but couples as well!
