rileycole

My name is Riley and I'm a 24 year old photographer who loves to capture life's moments through a lens. I'm currently living in Kansas City, Kansas but i'm always hopping from one flight to the next. When I'm not shooting, you can find me at the gym, or snuggled up in bed while editing + binging some crappy reality tv show...

I'm all about prompts over poses. We aren't here to pose like you're with your Aunt Martha, we're here to capture the moments that make YOU feel like YOU. My goal is to always leave you feeling better than I found you, full of confidence and excitement about the beautiful photos to come.

"Riley shot our engagement photos recently and she captured our love so authentically. Riley made my fiancée and I feel comfortable right off the bat. She was supportive and encouraging throughout the entirety of our session. We were blown away with how our photos turned out as they were exactly the vibe I was going for and then some. She exudes passion for her work and the final product shows just that. I am so excited to have her shoot our upcoming wedding and make more memories with her in the future!"

"We have used riley cole photography many times and every time she blows us away. She has been though many stages of our lives. From boudoir pictures for a wedding gift, to couples portraits, to graduation portraits, and more. Every time, Riley has a smile on her face, and she always has a new idea up her sleeve. She is so creative and fun to work with. You will not make it out of the photoshoot without your sides hurting from laughing so much! If you don’t like your pictures taken or get nervous in front of the camera, Riley is your girl! She always makes it so fun. Her work speaks for herself, but she’s just amazing!"

"I’d been following Riley on social media for nearly 2 years before I finally booked with her. I absolutely LOVE her editing style. The second we met her in person, I felt like I’ve known her personally for years because that’s how comfortable she made us feel! She was so sweet & patient with our toddler who wanted to do anything but take pictures. And now that my fiancé & I are getting married, there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted Riley to be our photographer. So much so we’re eloping on a different day so we could book with her! I can’t wait to see her work her magic once again for one of the most important days of our lives. I know we won’t be disappointed!"

"We had the most peaceful, loving session with Riley. She always makes me feel so comfortable and beautiful. This was my first couple shoot and we will be doing many more! The photos turned out so elegant and unique. I can’t wait for her to shoot our wedding!"
