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.

The Navy Has Called, Our Orders Have Arrived…

We’re sure it’s not hard to guess that we are in a celebratory type mood – I’m sure that image on the right expresses how we feel!

We have lived here since 1997 – yep, 14 years! All of our children were born here, we bought our first house here, we have made so many friends (both Navy and civilian) and well, this is HOME to us! We have been waiting since July to hear whether we would be staying here or moving on. They kept pushing back the month we would “find out” farther and farther.

Until finally, we got a call yesterday letting my husband know that he had to call his detailer ASAP. So, he did. And his detailer cut the orders right there, as my husband & I sat at our kitchen counter. And there it was, written on the back of a envelope, “VQ-1 – report Sept 2012, rotation date: August 2015.” That’s it folks! We’re here for 3 more years! Are you excited? We are! Woo hoo!

So, what does this mean?

It means I no longer have to turn away any clients wishing to be on my baby plans and it means that I can now take in sessions after March without any fear that I may not be here to fulfill it! YAY!

Here are the specifics on scheduling for sessions whether general and/or pregnancy/newborn through 1st birthday for your baby(ies):

  • January: I’m sorry, this month is currently FULL. A waiting list is available.
  • February: I’m sorry, this month is currently FULL. A waiting list is available.
  • March:
      1. I have 2 session slots available. If your baby was born in December 2011, this is the perfect time to start your 1st year baby plan – starting with the 3 month session.
      2. If you are currently pregnant and due late March, you MIGHT be able to get in for a pregnancy session in the beginning of March, but I cannot guarantee a spot.
      3. Bathing Beauties Mini Sessions will be held in early March. These sessions are for children from 5 months old to 2 years old. More info to come soon!
      4. A modeling opportunity is coming in late March for boys & girls! More info to come soon!
  • April: Check for availability in March if you would like pregnancy session for your baby due in April. Otherwise, sessions slots are available for both all session types!
  • May – November: Sessions slots are available for both all session types!

Please remember to schedule as early as possible. Most clients schedule their pregnancy/newborn session as soon as THEY are about 3 months along in their pregnancy. My schedule is made so that dates/times are flexible and pend on your baby’s birth. Please call so that I may explain the process and how easily it works with your schedule!

Baby Plan Graduate – Happy 1st Birthday!

Oh, where has time gone? Another baby has turned ONE! I have LOVED spending time with little lady G. When she first arrived at 3 months old she was quite skeptical about the whole process. Now, she’s pretty used to us staring at her and making silly faces to make her chuckle. Throughout the year, she would still gave us those adorable pouts when we would try something new, but in the end, she was a trooper and we were able to capture some wonderful moments! To view all of her sessions, view the links listed under the last image.

Her 1st birthday session was full of clothing changes and of course – cake! Once again, The Curly Girl Boutique provided an adorable outfit for us to use. You will find the boutique’s outfit in the 4th image, she is in purple. There is also a headband she was wearing, but she was not too fond of it. But you can see the image of her when she was waring it on our Facebook page HERE.

Once we brought out the balloons and cake, the fun began! She didn’t dig in and make a big mess. She was eloquent and well-mannered, such a doll! And once she was done, she stood up and just walked away. She’s such a sweetheart! Thank you so much Mom & Dad for letting me be a part of your lives for this last year! I will miss seeing you all every 3 months – don’t be strangers!

Just in Time…

With the craziness of mini sessions, regular sessions and family visiting, I began to get a little behind. But now that most of all that is over and done with for a while, I’m catching up quickly! This was my last full family session of the year. It went pretty quickly since the little guy was off of his nap schedule and was a little overwhelmed & sleepy. But overall, he did great – as did the whole family! Thank you for a great session! And extra THANKS for your patience while I got caught up with your proofs. So sorry for the delay. But your proofs will be ready within 2 days so you can have enough time to order your prints in time for Christmas! 🙂

claire - Gorgeous family – great work here! Love their eyes

Sindea Horste - Lovely! And how does this whole family have such gorgeous bright eyes?

Sindea Horste - These are great! Very nice indeed…

Christy Johnson - Beautiful!

Jenny Ruddle - What a lovely session, how adorable are those kids.

Sophie Crew - What a beautiful family!!
