Here's a little bit about me:

I was born and raised in Southeast Ohio, and have always had an intense love for outdoors and music. I'm non-binary, and my boyfriend and I are both proudly queer. You'll see him tag long to photoshoots every now and then as my helper! My passion for photography started as a kid, and has since grown into my life's purpose and is the perfect way for me to share how I see the world. Every photograph holds a story, and I want tell a piece of yours.

Bella's Testimonial


"River was WONDERFUL to work with! Not only were they so kind during the session but their communication before was amazing. It was the little things too, having someone there to help hold my things and even a Pinterest board of inspiration pictures. Not to mention, our session was on a Sunday and my photos were back on Wednesday. Couldn’t recommend them enough!!!"

"I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with River Galentin Photography for our engagement shoot! The booking process was simple, and they were incredibly communicative and prompt with responding. River's primary goal was to understand exactly what we wanted and WOW did they deliver! River and their boyfriend (the best assistant) were full of incredible ideas and made us feel comfortable the entire time. We were shown photos throughout the session to ensure we were on the same page, and each time they shared a new shot with me I only ended up more excited to see the next. The level of commitment they show to their craft clearly came through when we received our photos (in less than a week, I will add!!!), and I would confidently recommend River Galentin Photography to anyone looking to have a positive experience resulting in the most amazing photos. At the end of the session, we were even given a Polaroid as a little keepsake which we will treasure forever. Thank you for bringing our love story to life through photos, River! -B&L"
