Everyone has a story.  I remember every story of every person I have ever photographed.  I hope my photos tell those stories, whether subtle or direct.

Who are you?  What story do you have to tell?   What do you want people to think and feel when they look back at your images 3 generations from now?  What do you want to tell us about your children?  Is it their 4-year-old Easter mini or your 7-year-old's dream of being a pilot captured forever?

As a mom, I was always behind the camera.  I have been missing from much of my son's story until now.  I am changing that.  My dad was gone at 35, and I have only 2 photos of him and me. Do you exist in photos?  Are you present in your children's story?  

As a third-generation photographer, I have realized the value of being in photographs and of capturing the most important memories of your life.  While cute photos with fun props have a purpose (I shoot those too), my passion lies deeper.   I want to see inside the person in front of my lens and capture who they truly are.  Whether at the beginning of life or near the end, everyone has a story, and it is so important to tell it.

I am Renata, I am your storyteller.
