Hi There, I’m Renee!

Your next photographer

In my 6 years of photographing newborns and families, I've learned a few things: That mom's want to feel beautiful and connected in their images, that dads enjoy having something specific to do during sessions to keep them happy, and that when teary eyed over your images, you won't remember how long it took to wrangle the children and get them ready before the session.

I became a photographer almost by accident. My degree is in cell and molecular biology, and I am a serious science geek, but that's a story for another day. I've always had an uncanny ability to connect with people, especially children. In my 5 years working as a pre-school teacher, I was able to diffuse even the worst tantrums and bring out the smiles in the toughest situations.

When my first son was born 7 years ago, I fell in love with every little detail of him. I was completely amazed by this tiny human we had brought into the world. A never missed a moment to photograph his tiny personality. In my fervor to capture every thing about him, I also started photographing every baby I could get my hands on. Six years later, I've photographed over 200 newborns and families (thats a lot of photos shining on peoples living room walls, coffee tables, iPhones and facebook walls)!

Are You Ready to Begin?

Let's start planning your session!

In all this time as a photographer, I’ve really learned how to flatter moms and make sure you are always looking your best. Most importantly though, I’ve learned how to capture my families with only gentle guidance so that each image is soaked in natural emotion.

I always make sure to ask how my moms want their images to make them look and feel, and then make it happen. I’d love to make a plan for your images! Why not get a spot on my calendar in the next 2 months?
