James Riley
I can’t remember exactly what it was when I first began to shoot but I just had a desire to create images that serve as a placeholder for people’s memories. Something that people could emotionally relate to. Since then I have been on a journey, growing, learning and engrossing myself in the art.

The driving force behind all of this has to be my amazing wife Rachel. Without her pushing me I definitely wouldn’t be here today. She plays so many roles like my marketing agent, critic, and encourager. Thanks wifey.
I wish to provide you with images that serve as memories for a lifetime. So please join me on a journey and we can create memories for you and yours.
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
-Elliott Erwitt
