Behind the Lens

Hi! I'm Rilee, a photographer who’s all about capturing real connection, honest moments, and beautiful color.

Before I ever picked up a "real" camera, I was the go-to iPhone photo-taker for my friends and family. I’ve always loved capturing little in-between moments, and making my family and friends feel beautiful and slightly awkward by making them strike a pose, and then showing the photo on my phone. I loved seeing their reaction. They were shocked and loved the photo of themselves. I realized that I have the ability to have peoople fall in love with themselves through photos. I see beauty in people, and photography lets me show them exactly what I see.. 

In my early 20s, I found myself feeling lost and searching for purpose. On a whim, I picked up my mom’s old Nikon camera from the 2000's and asked my sister to go on a photoshoot with me. I barely knew the settings or how to use it, but the moment I started shooting, I felt it—like I had finally found my thing. I was hooked. The connection, the creativity, the joy of making someone feel beautiful and seen... I knew I had found something special.I was truly lit up by it all. 

Photography has become so much more than a job—it's my way of connecting, creating, and capturing the fleeting beauty in everyday life. I love planning sessions, dreaming up outfits and locations, and having full creative freedom to bring a vision to life. But more than anything, I love being part of moments people will never forget.

Whether I’m documenting a wild, joy-filled wedding, a quiet elopement in the mountains, or an intimate creative portrait session, I pour my heart into every frame. My hope is that you’ll not only see the love and emotion in my photos—but feel it too.

If you’ve made it this far, you must be curious to know a little more about the girl behind the lens—so here you go!

I’m 24 years old, born and raised in the wild, wonderful city of Las Vegas. I’m the oldest daughter in a big, dynamic, blended family that I adore. I’m also married to the love of my life—a handsome Aussie who shares my love for adventure (and good food).

Travel is one of my biggest inspirations. I’ve been lucky enough to explore Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, Mexico, and a bunch of beautiful states here in the U.S.—and Japan is next on the list.

I’m a total animal lover—like, borderline obsessed with every animal I see. I love cozy nights in watching movies, but I’m also always down for a night out dancing with the girls and drinking a spicy marg. I love all types of music! I play the piano and cello, love to sing (usually in the car), and listen to just about everything. One of my all-time favorite bands? Rüfüs Du Sol..

Lastly, I am a Leo sun, and sagittarius moon :) I love astrology but one of my all time favorite things to do is reasearch The Human Design. 

Thank you for reading! I cant wait to know more about YOU!
