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.

She Became a Mommy Today

This first time mommy  & daddy had their baby girl TODAY! I meant to get these out a little sooner, but I have not been feeling well and have had to force myself to rest. But, I was able to gather energy this evening. So, I just had to share this beautiful couple!

Mom had actually called me about a 2 months prior to schedule a session, but I was currently full and unable to fit her in. But then, she called back, hoping for a cancellation and sure enough, about 15 minutes earlier that day, someone did cancel. So, she took their spot and VOILA! Isn’t she just stunning? And of course, we can’t forget daddy! You could tell they were so excited for their family to grow and already so in love with their baby girl. Their joy has me so anxious, I can’t wait to meet her. Mom signed up for my 1st Kick to 1st Birthday session plan. So, we will be seeing her every 3 months after her newborn session. I’m so excited to be a part of their lives for the next year! (Hope they don’t get tired of me ooh’ing and ahh’ing over their little girl) Congratulations mom and dad!

Another Little Guy Celebrates His 1st Birthday!

Most little ones come in pretty shy, but every now and then I get a very social one! And that was this little guy, K. He was such a joy to work with. Mom decided to go with a small cupcake a few days before the session. I am so glad she did. He loved that little cupcake and I enjoyed watching him pick up as many little crumbs and pieces as he could so he could eat them. He also let us model a new hat & diaper cover set by Snips & Snails The Shop for Little Guys (part of The Curly Girly Boutique). You can see another one of his modeling pics HERE. Thank you again mommy for letting me be apart of the celebration!

First Birthday – Baby Plan Graduate

This session was done about 2 months earlier than originally planned. Why? Because daddy had retired from the Navy earlier than expected and had a job waiting for him in Arizona. I didn’t want little L to miss out on his last session in his 1 year plan. So, we squeezed him in and went to it. He was again quite shy. But once we brought out the cake, he was as happy as can be! It has been such a fast year! Too fast! Happy 1st Birthday L! Don’t break too many hearts in Arizona!

I will truly miss this family. I have been blessed to be apart of their lives as they welcomed two little babies into their family. Mommy & I have become good friends and am so sad that I won’t be able to sit and chat with her anymore. We always laugh and laugh when we are together. But, thank goodness for Facecbook and the Draw Something game application on our phones! I still get to giggle and laugh with her as we make silly drawings for each other to guess!

Hello Sweet Girl!

The day before this session, I attended a friend’s baby shower. While I was there, I saw a very little baby girl being held by her mommy a few seats away from me. I knew immediately that she was a newborn. She was so small! I thought to myself, “Oh, I get to snuggle with a little newborn girl tomorrow.” There were so many people at this shower and mom ended up leaving since she was still a little sore from her C-section. So, I was a little sad not to be able to meet her and little baby girl. But to my surprise, when I opened the door the morning of this session, it was the same mom & baby I had seen the day before.

I was so happy to meet her mom officially and get snuggle time with her baby girl! She was the sweetest little thing! She slept well for the first 20 minutes and then was wide awake for the remainder of the session. One of my favorite images was taken at the end of the session. I posted it on HERE on my Facebook page a few hours after the session. Congratulations again mom! She’s gorgeous!

Donna Boyd Jones - Awe Renee, as always you work is amazing! Love these pictures! Thank you for sharing.

Sarah Metz - Just precious! Love those eyes in the last one. Beautiful!

Lisa Kelly - What a small world it is that you ran into this lady 2 days in a row. Baby girl is gorgeous and that last image with the amazing eye contact – priceless!

Lina - These are absolutely stunning! Nice job!

Kelly - What a precious baby girl!! These are lovely Renee, love your work!!

Kelly Farris Wilson - Gorgeous as always Renee!

Anna-Karin - She is beautiful!

Tammy Krummel - such lovely images of a precious newborn.

Desiree Weber-Elrod - Oh they are awesome I want to stop by soon to say hi and meet her!

PamN - Look at her stylin’ already! This little one deserves custom photography for sure, and OFTEN!
