Meet Renae

Hi, I'm Renae.

I'm a Fremont photographer, and honestly, I think I have the best job in the world. I get to show up for people on the days that matter most, and hand them something they'll treasure long after the moment has passed.

Newborns in their very first hours, growing families, maternity, graduations, weddings. I love it all. My style is warm and natural, never stiff or over-posed. I'd rather catch the real, in-between moments: the sleepy yawns, the belly laughs, and the quiet way you hold the people you love.

My studio in Fremont is a cozy, come-as-you-are kind of place, and I'm always happy to travel to wherever your story is unfolding across the Bay Area and Central Valley. Photography will always be my heart, and when I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me hand-pouring candles or offering Reiki and intuitive readings.

Kind Words

What families are saying.

"My 6-month-old is usually very shy with strangers, but was so relaxed and happy during our session. Renae was incredibly gentle and captured the most amazing shots. She has a natural motherly touch that makes all the difference."

Lisa C.
Family session

"Renae did pictures for my 2-month-old baby girl and she nailed them! She worked with me on the theme and truly captured her personality and the love. Very professional and quick turnaround. I will use her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!"

Nyana B.
Newborn session

"I love Renae's candles! I ordered a few for the house and the office. They are absolutely beautiful and smell so good. I love the little details, the different colors and scents. Each one is unique, and they make great gifts too!"
