About Me

Let me tell you a little about myself...

My name is Sarah Riley. I specialize in natural light photography and edit very true to color.

I picked up my first camera was I was a child and have yet to put it down. I was the "photographer" for my own family for years before finally deciding to expand and start a real business. I started as a business in 2017 as Sarah Marie Photography. In 2021 I made some changes to my business and changed my name is Five 13 Photography L.L.C

Everything I have learned with photography/editing has been self taught. I absolutely love my job and to see my work hanging in clients home, or as a profile picture of their social media, Its truly the best feeling. I love taking a moment or a feeling and making memories that will last a lifetime for all of my clients.

Fun Facts about me:

I'm Married (I was a Covid Bride)
I have 3 dogs & 2 cats
My favorite color is blue
I love kayaking
I shoot Nikon Cameras
I live on a Mountain...and the smoky mountains are basically in my backyard.
