Katie Richards

photographer; trail guide; bringer of snacks, band aids, and goofy faces.

I started Testify Photography so that I could be the type of photographer I’d always wanted for my family - a trail guide to document our family adventures.

I am the (co-)adventure-planner in my house - camping, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, paddleboarding, travel, music concerts, museums, parks, pools, farmer’s markets, family visits, cooking good food… you name it! All with two kids in tow. 

I know how much work it is to plan for, pack, and get our whole family out in the world. I am in the trenches. But I know that it is worthwhile. I have overheard my daughter quietly exclaiming “this is the life” while relaxing with a book in a hammock. I have followed my son streaking down the mountain, dancing, on his skis. I know that our adventures, near and far, are an integral part of their childhood - and one that I am grateful to provide and to document for them. 

I have a messy house, full of love, good food, and family photographs of our life in motion - and I am grateful for all of it. 

I started Testify Photography to help other families who are in the trenches too. Families with kids and adventures and lives.
