Henry was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and professional. We hired him to photograph a property we are renting and needed some nice pictures for the listing. The quality of his photography is outstanding and the final pictures exceeded our expectations. I'd highly recommend using Henry for any of your photography needs.

Choosing Henry to take our photos was the best thing we did! He is passionate with his work and we could see he was excited for us, always giving different ideas for the photos, my husband is not huge fan of photos, but he loved Henry directions. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible professional and amazing pictures.

Henry was excellent and had great recommendations for my photos that really stood out among photos I've taken of myself. I couldn't speak more highly of the experience.

Henry was absolutely incredible to work with. He photographed my proposal and exceeded every expectation. From the very beginning, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping make the moment perfect. He blended into the background seamlessly while still capturing every important reaction and detail. The photos turned out stunning. They perfectly captured the emotion, surprise, and joy of the moment, and we will treasure them forever. If you are looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and truly cares about their clients, I cannot recommend Henry enough. I would gladly work with him again for any future milestones.

From start to finish, Henry communicated clearly and professionally, making the entire process smooth and easy. What really stood out was his dedication, he was even willing to come back at a better time to ensure we captured exactly the images we were looking for. As a company that engineers and supplies park and recreation structures across all 50 states, this wasn’t a typical real estate photography request. Despite that, Henry was flexible, understood our needs right away, and worked with us to capture high-quality, impactful images of our products. Thank you Henry!

A huge thank you to Henry for doing such an amazing job with my daughter’s senior/graduation pictures. This is the second time I’ve hired Henry, as he took my son’s graduation photos last year, but this time I got to see him in action, and he’s truly gifted at what he does. He took us to two different locations and captured so many creative angles and perspectives. He told me that the photos would take about a week, but he sent them ahead of schedule. Henry is timely, organized, and incredibly thorough. A true professional in his craft. I’d recommend Henry to anyone who wants high-quality photos they really capture the moment. Thank you again!

Henry was so patient with my family of 15+ people! The photos are AMAZING! He was able to accommodate wheelchairs, my older family members and toddlers! His turnaround time was also exceptionally fast! In addition, he promptly answered my 827372 text (even when they were super early in the morning, lol). If we ever pull together something like this again I will 100% reach out to Henry! Thank you so much, we will cherish these pictures forever!

Henry took college graduation photos for my friends and me, and he did such an amazing job! He made the whole process feel easy and comfortable, edited our photos perfectly, and got them back to us in a very timely manner. Everyone was so happy with the results, and we are so grateful we got to work with him. I would definitely recommend Henry to anyone looking for a photographer!

From the start everything with henry went very seamless and smooth. Gathering a group of 11 friends to do a medical school graduation photoshoot is not easy, but Henry was extremely patient and flexible. He offers an incredible package that was affordable and gave us incredible photos (more on that later). Prior to taking photos Henry had already scouted the area (Capital Park) to find us the best spots. He asked us our priorities in the photoshoot prior to shooting, which we appreciated. Although my group of friends are silly and unconventional with the poses, he managed to capture the essence of our friendship which we will cherish forever. And even for these pictures he was able to guide us on how to pose best, displaying his adaptability and that he likely has kids. For the solo shots, he was patient in finding the best lighting and background for each of us. He seems to have a lot of experience in graduation shoots telling us how to pose when we needed guidance. We received our photos one week later as promised and are extremely happy with the results!

What types of photography do you specialize in?

I specialize in portrait, graduation, headshot, Airbnb and short-term rental, real estate, and commercial photography. Whether you're celebrating a milestone, marketing a property, or building your professional brand, my goal is to create photographs that accomplish what you need them to do.

How much does professional photography cost?

Pricing depends on the type of photoshoot and the scope of the project. Graduation sessions start at $325, real estate photography starts at $250, and specialized Airbnb photography starts at $475. Commercial projects and other custom photoshoots are quoted based on your specific needs. Visit the individual service pages to see current packages and pricing.

Where are you located?

I'm a professional photographer based in Richmond, Virginia, serving clients throughout Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, and Central Virginia. I also regularly travel throughout Virginia and beyond for photography projects.

How do I book a photoshoot?

Many of my most popular photoshoots can be booked directly online, where you can choose your package and an available date. For commercial photography or projects with more specific requirements, send me a message and I'll help put together the right shoot for you.

How quickly will I receive my photos?

Turnaround time varies depending on the type of photography. Real estate and Airbnb photography can often be delivered as soon as the same business day, while portrait, graduation, and commercial projects are delivered within a week. Your expected delivery time will be provided when you book.

Do you offer drone photography?

Yes. Professional aerial and drone photography is available for real estate, Airbnb and short-term rental, commercial property, and other projects where aerial images can add value.

Do you travel outside of Richmond?

Absolutely. While I'm based in Richmond, Virginia, I regularly photograph clients and properties outside the Richmond area. If you have a project elsewhere in Virginia—or farther away—send me the details and I can provide availability and any applicable travel costs.

What makes Henry Hertzler Photography different?

I've spent more than 11 years photographing people, properties, and businesses, and I approach each project by first understanding what the photographs need to accomplish. That might mean helping someone look confident in a headshot, capturing the excitement of graduation, making a property stand out online, or creating images that strengthen a company's brand. Great photography should do more than look good—it should have a purpose.

What is it like to work with you?

My style is relaxed, creative, and natural. I want you to feel comfortable in front of the camera, even if being photographed isn't normally your thing. I'll give you plenty of direction when you need it without making the photos feel stiff or overly posed. I care about the details, but I also like to keep the experience easygoing and fun. The goal is to create polished, professional images that still feel genuine—whether I'm photographing you, your family, your business, or your property.

Take the Best Next Step

High-quality photography isn’t just about looking good—it’s about standing out. Whether you're promoting a property, celebrating a milestone, or building your brand, sharp and creative visuals help you make a lasting impression. Great photos tell your story clearly, elevate your message, and build trust at a glance. In a visual world, the right images don’t just capture attention—they open doors.
