Photography has always been more than a hobby; it’s my passion and creative outlet. I feel truly inspired every time I step behind the lens, with each session offering a new opportunity to capture real moments, genuine emotion, and lasting memories. My goal is to create images that tell your story in a way that feels authentic and timeless.

Hi, I’m Ries Foster — the eye behind the lens at Foster & Light Photography.

Originally from Saint Louis, Missouri, I’ve spent the last eight years building a life and creative career in the Macomb area. My journey led me to Western Illinois University (WIU), where I studied and first discovered my deep love for photography, a passion that quickly became a meaningful part of who I am. Today, I’m proud to serve both WIU and the wider Macomb community through my creative work.

For me, photography is more than just capturing a moment. It’s about preserving stories, emotions, and connections that words often can’t express. Whether it’s a spontaneous road trip, a family celebration, or a major milestone, I find joy in documenting the little details that make each moment unforgettable.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, marking a graduation, gathering with family, or simply hoping to capture the beauty in an everyday moment, I’m here to help you turn memories into timeless art.

Thank you for visiting and considering Foster & Light Photography. I’d love the opportunity to help capture your next chapter. Let’s create something beautiful together
