Family, newborn & Fresh 48 photography, plus handmade candles, Reiki, and intuitive readings, all from one warm little studio.
Moments by Renae is my little studio in Fremont. It's a warm, unhurried space where families come to just be themselves in front of the camera. I've been behind the lens for years, and this past May I finally opened the doors to a place of my own.
I'm not here for stiff poses or say-cheese smiles. I'm here for the real stuff: the way your baby curls into your chest, the laugh that sneaks out between takes, the quiet in-between moments you'll want to hold onto long after the day is over.
Beyond photography, I pour that same care into small-batch candles, Reiki and energy work, and intuitive readings, little ways of helping the people I meet feel a bit more grounded, and a bit more like themselves.
Every session is relaxed, unhurried, and shaped around you. Message me to dream up yours. No packages to squeeze into.

"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."
"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, different colors, and scents. Each one is unique. They make great gifts too!"
"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!"

Family, maternity, newborn & Fresh 48, cake smash, graduations & seniors, branding, and events, plus handmade candles, Reiki and energy work, and intuitive readings. A little bit of everything I love.
Most sessions run about an hour, and I never rush the moments that matter. Bigger shoots and events are booked to fit, and we'll sort out the timing when you reach out.
Whatever feels right for you. We can shoot in the cozy Fremont studio, out in golden-hour light, or at home for those first newborn days. I photograph all around the Bay Area.
