Island-Inspired Portrait Photographer in St. Croix, USVI.

Hey, I’m Dondre Richards, the photographer behind Ohana Photographist. I’ve lived in St. Croix most of my life, and I started taking photos to show off the beauty of the island and its people. My style is warm, natural, and a little dramatic. I’m expressive, hands-on, and all about helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whether you’re celebrating yourself, your family, or just life in the moment—I’m here to tell your story in a real and honest way. Let’s create something that matters.
