PHOTOGRAPHS THAT CAPTURE THE MOMENTS YOU’LL TREASURE FOREVER.

I love capturing life's candid moments - the giggle after an inside joke, or the loving glance between father & daughter...

I want to capture you and your loved ones in natural light and with poses that will help you relax and be yourself in front of the camera. I will provide gentle directions to facilitate the most natural smiles and laughter and at times I do enjoy being quiet, like a fly on the wall... letting couples or children dance or play while I make magic behind the camera. I may have you sit in a pose and enjoy the sunset or walk around a new area to explore a city’s beautiful evening. If you love a walk by the water or a relaxed evening with friends and family, we might be a great fit, so please feel free to request my availability below.

WEDDINGS

It is an honor to photograph a wedding and I do my best to provide my clients with pictures they will look back on for decades, remembering the unique, intimate details of their special day. From getting ready with your bridesmaids to the first look, the first dance, and the final goodbye hug, I'll be quietly cheering you on behind the camera. In 2025, I'll be shooting weddings with Tara Peddicord again! For more information about the Tara & Renata wedding package, tap the link below.

FAMILIES & SENIORS

I'll do my best to help you feel relaxed throughout your session and focus on finding the best light to capture you and your family. Walking by the water, exploring downtown, enjoying your favorite park or a picnic in your backyard - I have a pocketful of favorite locations if you'd like recommendations, or I'm always up to try something new! My goal is to take photos that capture your true beauty in the places you love most.

"Renata was phenomenal to work with! I loved how she coached us on how to pose, took her time getting the most beautiful shots, and was so patient and engaging with the kids. Getting four young boys to cooperate for a photo shoot is no easy task, but Renata pulled it off so gracefully! I will cherish these photos forever!"

BEHIND THE LENS

Hi, I'm Renata. I have over 15 years of photography experience, working with two of my best friends to shoot weddings and families while learning the ins and outs of the industry. Working as a team taught me to have confidence in my vision and to find my voice, and it showed me how to deeply care for those I am serving. The thought of providing a new couple or family with images that will be part of their lives for years to come inspires me, and it's my hope that my photos truly capture the love and joy felt between each couple, mother and child, father and son during our time spent together.
