Richard wanted to capture every happy moment in its entirety. Every year he’d capture a photo of you in front of your birthday cake without fail. He assembled books full of memories for his wife and children full of photos and achievements. There’s home videos full of beautiful memories that he created. He retold funny and happy stories of his childhood and his kids often. He travelled Lynn and photographed many locations where memories were made.
