Renee Giugliano Photography bio picture
  • We are Permanently Closed

    After serving Oak Harbor since 2006, I have closed my doors officially. I am still on Whidbey Island, but no longer offering photography services or learning classes on a regular basis. I am only offering Preschool Portraits for Ms. Ashley's Preschool in the spring.

    Past clients may be able to purchase digital images from their past sessions if they are still available on my archive drives. Contact me for more info.

    If you are a photographer inquiring about the possible purchase of my props and/or backdrops, many of my items are listed on Facebook Marketplace. Feel free to contact me for direct links or to inquire about anything you see in y portraits that you are interested in to see if they are available.

    Thank you for trusting me with your family portraits since 2006. I loved working with you all.

A 2nd Birthday Celebration… with Cake!

Sweet “G” didn’t get to come in and have her 1st birthday cake portraits done with me, so we made up for that with her 2nd birthday. She was a little shy during the first few minutes, but once she was given some different elements to play with, she was showing off. Every time the lights would flash, she would coming run up to me to see how she looked. And then I would encourage her to try again and we did that over and over! I normally wait for requests to do a Whimsical portrait (last image), but when I saw that image, I couldn’t help myself but to put something together.

Little “I” Celebrates The Big ONE!

I was having a ball with editing these proofs that I figured I might as well get the sneak peek up now. Yes, it’s a little after 1:00am, but hey – these are too cute not to share! I knew little “I” was gonna be fun and easy to work with as soon as I saw her! Mommy, Daddy & her two older sisters joined in for a family portrait first then we got rolling into the session. She didn’t care too much for the balloons after a while and took her sweet time to “digging in” to her cake. But by the end, that cake was a goner! “I” came in on her actual birthday, so for me, it was treat to be able to have the honor of photographing her 1st Taste of Cake!

One Big Happy Family

Thank you so much to the Stahl family for their patience! This is the 2nd set of proofs that were left untouched before I left on vacation. And as most of you know, when I returned I ended up getting sick which delayed editing for another 2 weeks. First is the more traditional portrait followed by the much more relaxed portraits! Normally I say STAY AWAY to t-shirts with words and logos, but it seemed to work perfectly this time!

Erica - Renee did my daughter’s 1st b-day pics. The only problem I had with her photos was trying to decide which ones to get because they were all so wonderful! She offers great collections and does beautiful collages and whimsical items. I couldn’t be more happy with them. And now I’ve decided to have her do my son’s school pictures this year.
