For the Artist

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.

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.

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.
