Welcome to my page!

I cannot even begin to describe just how grateful I am for your time and interest in my Photography.

My name is Riley Renae Benado. I am a Photographer on the gorgeous Central Coast of California and couldn'‘t be happier to be located here. Photography has been part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I started as just a young girl unable to put down her flip phone camera, to an adult whose camera is her favorite accessory. It has always been important to me to leave my mark and touch lives and here is how my business has allowed me to do that;

It all started back in 2018, at just 18 years old, I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. The Miracle of me being here today is the inspiration behind my Photography business. It was at this point in my life that I realized photos could be all I had left, or all that was left of me. They were a way to freeze time and look back at a moment that happened years ago. It was then that I also realized that I could capture every single special moment for someone else to hold close to them and relive forever.

Inspired by my survival and personal miracles, I created my teal logo and began my dream of Photography.

Today, I want to thank you for being on this journey with me and taking time to enjoy these moments of frozen time. Your support as i’ve taken this leap of faith means everything to me. Besides, Who knows? These photos may be all we have left someday…

Stay Lively.

Always,

Riley Renae
