Meet the Storyteller:
Howdy! I’m Riley, the storyteller behind Wilderoot Photography. My work is inspired by the untamed beauty of the West—the grit of rodeo dirt, the softness of golden light, and the quiet strength found in everyday moments. Wilderoot is more than a name; it’s a reminder that our stories grow deep, wild, and true, just like the roots that ground us.
Photography, for me, is about capturing the heart of a moment before it passes—the laughter you didn’t expect, the tears you tried to hold back, the way love looks when it’s unposed and honest. Every gallery I deliver is meant to feel timeless, like a memory you can hold in your hands.
At Wilderoot, I strive to blend raw western energy with soulful storytelling. Whether I’m chasing light at a wedding, documenting a family’s legacy, or freezing the intensity of a rodeo, my mission stays the same: to create images that feel as alive as the moments themselves.
If you’re drawn to authenticity, warmth, and the spirit of the West, Wilderoot might just be the place where your story belongs. Let’s create something unforgettable—together.

wild stories, rooted memories
my Philosophy
Perfectly imperfect.
The soul unposed
Life’s too short for stiff poses and forced smiles. I’m here for the laughs that make your belly ache, the quiet moments that make your heart swell, and the kind of memories you want to relive over and over. My camera doesn’t just capture pictures—it catches the feeling of sun on your face, dirt on your boots, and stories told under golden light. That’s the kind of photography I believe in: real, raw, and full of soul.
A journey of love, laughter, and light
