"We had such a wonderful experience having my granddaughter's senior pictures taken! Not only is Henry incredibly talented, but he is also so nice, personable, and easy to work with. He made the entire experience enjoyable and, most importantly, made my granddaughter feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera
Thank you, Henry, for giving us such beautiful photographs and memories that will last a lifetime! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who truly captures the beauty of these special moments."

"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 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!

Yes. Henry Hertzler Photography is among the very highest rated senior and graduation photographers in Richmond, VA, and has 10+ years of experience.
Yes. But instead of rigid packages like photographers used to do, you can order a wide variety of professional prints, wall hangings, etc directly from your gallery without the extra hassle of communicating back and forth about selections.
Unlike many larger studios, I am one person and never send out subs. If you book Henry Hertzler Photography, your are getting Henry Hertzler, the artist you paid for.
There are nearly endless locations based on the senior's preferences. Some favorites are Maymont for beautiful gardens and architecture, Main St Station for rugged historic downtown look, Meadow Farm Park for western look, and various locations in the James River Park System for photos with wild nature and water. We can discuss specific locations before or after booking.
Changing the time due to bad weather is free. In the event of inclement weather, e'll coordinate on the next available time that works for everyone involved.
Very quickly. You should get your completed gallery of photos within 5 business days after your senior photoshoot.
Absolutely. While I'm based in Richmond, Virginia, I regularly photograph seniors within a day's drive from Richmond. If you choose a location outside of Richmond, travel fees will be automatically calculated in checkout.
Henry Hertzler has been a photographer professionally for 12+ years. Over that time, I've discovered what people love and hate about getting photoshoots and crafted an experience designed around what seniors and their parents want, instead of around what every other photographer does. That means you can book your photoshoot without haggling about pricing, you pay only one price which is disclosed up-front, you won't have to wait for me to set up complex gear, and you'll get your pictures in less than a week.
Seniors and their parents frequently describe the experience as relaxed, fun, creative, and easy, while noting that Henry takes the time to listen to their needs and take their preferences into account. Henry Hertzler Photography has rebuilt the senior picture experience from the ground up to be something that is uncomplicated, enjoyable, and gives seniors and their parents an even better experience than they ever expected.
