Samantha and Joe, what an incredible shoot!  You are wonderful people; I had such a blast meeting and working with you!  I appreciate your flexibility and spontaneity. Good luck in all your future endeavors and with your wedding in New Orleans!  I look forward to celebrating the new year with you again at Kevin and Eryn’s wedding!

Get to know me

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story

Hi! i'm rené, your
photog & legacy keeper
