Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas friends! Here’s to a day filled with presents, egg nog, Christmas dinners, family traditions, and remembering Jesus’ birth! We are having a two day celebration, both at my parents house today and sledding up at the Tate Family Cabin tomorrow!

A few images from our Christmas card shoot in the Main Quad of Stanford. :)

SO much love and joy to you and yours! Merry Christmas!

René (and John too :-)

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
