I was born and raised in the small town of Brighton Illinois. I attended Lewis and Clark Community College and received my Certification in Photography while winning the Award of the Most Outstanding Digital Photography Student.
I have been practicing photography since I was seventeen years old. I decided to start my own business in 2019.
What drives my passion for photography is I have lost a lot of people too soon in my lifetime and photographs are all I have left. It makes my heart so full to capture the most treasured memories for people! That’s why I offer everything! If there’s a service that I don’t have I am open to anything and everything!
I also offer union discounts on all my services! I myself am part of LiUNA as my full time career!

"Ryleigh has taken my family photos and photos of my boyfriend and I and I can’t even pick which photos are my favorites because they are all wonderful! It is hard to get my dad to smile and Ryleigh got him to smile the whole shoot ( with teeth and all ). I highly recommend Ryleigh! She is VERY flexible and I think everyone can tell the passion she has for her photography! Love her to pieces!"

"We got engaged in late July this year and we knew we didn’t want a long engagement. So when I set our date for May (less than a year) we had to get engagement photos done immediately. Most photographers are not nearly as flexible as Ryleigh is and she got us in that very next weekend.
My fiancé is not a person who likes to be photographed but she had him laughing and totally into it. She even referred a private property that no one else had done pictures like. She’s professional but still very reasonable"

"Ryleigh not only takes beautiful photos but is so easy to work with. I felt prepared on our wedding day as Ryleigh set up several phone calls to go over everything and ask for a vision to ensure our day went smoothly. She’s very personal and down to earth and makes everyone feel comfortable. She directed all of our bridesmaids/groomsmen efficiently and we were ahead of schedule for our session. She worked well with the videographer as well. You won’t regret choosing Ryleigh as your photographer!"
