Specializing in animals and the people that love them
Hi, my name is Kathleen Riley, and I'm a transplanted Minnesota resident. I live in the Twin City metro area of Minneapolis and St Paul with my husband, David, and our dogs, Minnow the Chinook, Fluffy the Vampire Labrador, and our newest pupster, Mick the Chinook. For the past 30-years, I've been lucky enough to have the opportunity to photograph dogs, horses, people, and travel adventures. My life really is a dog and pony show!
It's humbling to have my work displayed in people's homes, medical facilities, schools, restaurants, corporate offices, websites, and many printed publications. I shoot images for the wonderful folks at Town Planner. In 2019 my firetruck image for the Crystal/Robbinsdale calendar received 2nd place nationally for Best Cover shot! In the simple pleasures part of life, I get a kick out of seeing my photos on people's social media profiles too!
Want to get a feel for me? Take a look at this slide show. Shoot fast, have fun, keep the mojo going. We'll have a great time!
I want to work with you and create beautiful images of you and your animals. Let's celebrate your animals and where they are on their journey. Cute youngsters or gray oldsters we'll create artwork to show their true personalities for you to cherish for years to come. Let's talk about what you would like to create.
