Hey, I'm Ryleigh
Fitness Coach & Photographer
I haven’t always loved fitness... but I’ve always had a love for photography.
My grandparents gave me my first Canon camera when I was around 12, and from that moment on, I was obsessed with capturing the people and moments around me. Whether it was random shoots with my friends or editing for hours just for fun.
As for fitness? That came later, at a time when I felt really stuck. I didn’t feel good in my body, had no routine, and thought I had to do everything perfectly to see results.
What changed everything was learning to let go of that all-or-nothing mindset and start showing up from a place of love, not pressure.
Now I get to do what I love every day—help women feel strong, confident, and fully themselves…
Why I Became a Fitness Coach
What Makes This Different
My Mission
I became a fitness coach because I get it — the all-or-nothing mindset, the pressure to be perfect, the feeling of not knowing where to start. That was me.
I didn’t grow up loving “working out.” I was active in school, but I saw fitness as something I had to do to change how I looked, not something that could actually help me feel better mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Over time, I realized it’s not about being perfect it’s about building habits that make you feel strong, proud, and more like yourself.
Now, I coach women who feel stuck and overwhelmed, because I know what it’s like to be in their shoes and I know how life-changing it is to finally feel in control again.
This isn’t a cookie-cutter plan or quick fix.
At RYF, we focus on:
-
Movement that makes you feel strong (not punished)
-
Meals you enjoy with an 80/20 balance (no guilt)
-
Mindset shifts that change how you show up—for good
It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing what works.
I want every woman I work with to feel supported, seen, and strong—physically and mentally. I want you to know you can build a routine that fits your life and still have fun doing it. You don’t need perfection. You need a plan that gives you space to grow.
Why I Started Photography
Photography has always just felt right for me.
My grandparents gave me my first Canon camera when I was 12, and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I used to make my friends do little photoshoots with me just for fun and I’d spend hours editing, trying to make everything look and feel exactly how I imagined it.
I believe everyone deserves to feel confident and seen!
Through my photography, I help women (and couples, families, and brands) capture moments that feel real and empowering. My sessions are laid-back, fun, and focused on making you feel like yourself.
Whether you’re building your brand or just want to celebrate the season you’re in, we’ll create magic that feels aligned and authentic.
