Hi, I’m Riley!

thanks for taking the time to get to know me

The Why Behind My Storytelling…

Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, I grew up capturing the natural beauty around me. After studying design in college and diving into film in the darkroom, my passion for photography and film became a lifelong love.

These days in Los Angeles, you’ll often find me wandering a farmers market, hanging out at the dog park with my pup Sol, or tirelessly searching for old cameras and vintage clothes on eBay. I’m also known to cozy up at a wine bar, stroll the Hollywood Reservoir with a matcha, or nestle into my little apartment in the hills with my boyfriend and Sol.

"There's a beauty in the blur — it reminds us that moments aren't meant to be perfect, just real."

in a nutshell

  • I grew up in Hawai’i

  • I am a graphic designer (my other passion)

  • I am a dog mom to my rescue pup, Sol

  • My happy place… traveling, the beach, spending time with my dog & boyfriend

  • I spend a lot of time in my apartment in the hills editing photos and Super 8 films

  • I love a good flea market, estate sale, or FB marketplace find (really anything with character)

Riley is the photographer for you if you’re looking to capture your special candid moments. I’d book her a million times over if I could!
