About - Natalie Richardson Photography

Just a quick introduction

Hello, I’m Natalie, Founder of Natalie Richardson Photography. I cover all Leicestershire and surrounding areas. I do also travel the UK.

I’m excited to offer you a glimpse into the heart of my business and the passion that drives it.

Animals have always been at the core of my life. From a young age, I’ve had the privilege of caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and horses. This lifelong connection to animals naturally led me to pursue a career centered around them.

The HellHerders

As the proud owner of three dogs; Thor, my Siberian Husky, and Aida and Ivar, my two Belgian Malinois'. "The HellHerders"

I’ve immersed myself in the world of dogs. They are not just my pets; they are my inspiration and my driving force.
Every moment spent with them deepens my passion for capturing the true essence of animals and the bonds they share with their owners.

Welcome to my world, where animals and artistry meet.
