"Riley-Payton was so personable, answering every single question I had. She made sure I felt comfortable in my own body by giving me a few posing tips. She helped create the day-of schedule including all details before she arrived on scene. We have beautiful, creative, artistic images that provoke so many memories and emotion - all without feeling like our day was focused only on photography.
- Jessica L.

Riley-Payton and her husband Matt had many great suggestions and totally put our minds at ease. They're a phenomenal duo and they work seamlessly together. Thank you both for making our day so special!"
