  • 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.

Another Little Guy is 3 Months Old – Baby Planner

Thursday, May 29, 2014 11:31 am

I have four baby’s on the first year baby plan and three of them are boys. So, here is another handsome little get that I get to hang out with every 3 months. He is always so quiet, observing everything around him, especially his older sister. Although you can’t tell if he is amazed or confused by her. Hee hee hee… Trying to get his big sister to hang out with him for more than a minute to get a few of them together was tough. She is 2 years old and although she loves her little brother, she wants to do as she pleases and get things done quickly so she can move on to something else. But we were able get a few adorable shots of them at then end. So, extra points for mom & I! Can’t wait to see them again for his 6 month session!

Six Month Old Baby L – Baby Planner

Monday, May 19, 2014 1:35 pm

Six months old and not quite crawling or sitting up fully on his own, but he’s getting there! At the end of the session, we were able to watch him go from tummy on the floor to sitting up all on his own. The whole family was excited since he had not done that yet. He wasn’t quite strong enough to stay sitting up, but he wisely used his arms to keep himself balanced. I’m sure we will be chasing him around at our next session.

My Thoughts on CD vs Prints – Prints WIN!

I always get asked why I don’t include a CD of images with my sessions. It’s simple, I believe images should be on your walls, in your albums – PRINTED. This is something I believed in BEFORE I began my business. This is something that is personal to me. Digital media is always changing, remember the floppy disk?

I remember 12 years ago when we moved into our home (it was a new back then) and our computer decided to crash. At the time, I only had one child who was jus about 9 months old and all of those new “digital images” were gone. All I had was my good ol’ film negatives and printed images. And I am SO GLAD that I had them. Since then I make it a point to take pictures of my family, choose my favorites and get them printed ASAP. I have frames on my walls, I have albums in my closets. And when my kids get older and have their kids, we will all get to look back at these photos. And they will be passed on and on just like photos of me when I was a child.

I know it’s the trend these days to give digital images at a low price or freely. And that’s fine for those who choose to do that with their business. But that’s not for me. I love printed portraits and I take pride in the fact the quality of my prints goes side by side with the quality of the images themselves. Because I do want your children, you grandchildren and their children and their grandchildren to be able to look back your printed portraits and be able to see your faces, your smiles, your eyes… not a blurred photograph faded because it was printed at home or discolored because the lab chosen (or a home printer) had a bad calibration or messed up ink.

Yes I do offer digital images, they are on the menu. And even with those I give extra care to make sure you know what they should look like when printed. I believe photography is an investment not only for today but for the future.

Thank you to all of you (my clients) who have trusted me over and over again to capture today’s precious moments that will eventually become cherished memories in the future.

Short But Sweet – 3 Month old Baby Planner

Friday, May 2, 2014 7:18 pm

This little guy was the winner of our MINI Inch By Inch (Baby’s 1st Year Baby Plan) that we giveaway in the fall. So, we will get a visit from him every 3 months all the way up to his 1st birthday. Isn’t he just gorgeous!? Being only three months old, he was only able to lift his little head for so long before tiring out. I think he preferred to soft blanket on his cheeks anyway. After tummy time we went to lay him down, but he didn’t want anything to do with looking at the ceiling. He wanted to sit up and watch his mom & I as we made funny noises and faces at him. He gave us looks of concern, confusion & uncertainty followed by big laughs and giggles! We had a lot of fun! To see one more image from this session, click HERE to view in on my Facebook page. See you again in a few months!

Many parents purchase a DSLR camera in hopes of not missing a moment of their children’s lives, but are not totally satisfied with the images when they appear on their computer screen. They just want their images to be better.

Fresh Focus is an in-person workshop that teaches parents how to take better pictures of their kids. It focuses on concepts you can easily put into practice, just by understanding lighting, composition, perspective and age appropriate techniques. Participants will walk away with a 70 page presentation manual that includes both in depth details and quick tips for common situations which will help them improve their photos immediately… just by taking the time to assess light, change up their angle, and remember a few quick tips.

  • Workshop Fee: $75.00 per person
  • Workshop Duration: 3 hours
  • Workshop Dates: 
    • May 16 at 5:30pm
    • May 17 at 10:30am
  • Last Day To Sign Up: May 9th

Workshop will be held at the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce building in Oak Harbor. This is a small classroom setting, TEN seats available per workshop date.

Also includes outdoor shooting for practice and questions (immediately following the class – optional – weather permitting) plus entrance into a private Facebook group so that you may post images, get critique and ask more questions to help you continue to learn.

CLICK HERE SIGN UP FOR THE MAY 16 & 17  WORKSHOPS

Questions? Call me at (360) 320-6554 or send an email to focus@reneegphotography.com

**I call this a parent workshop, but it’s really for anyone who wants to learn more about their camera. The only part geared towards parents is when we go through different techniques for different ages.**
