Hi, I’m Renée.

I am a young photographer based in Annapolis, Maryland. I’m a girl who loves to spend time with her family and friends, travel, dance, and eat way too much dessert. My love for portrait photography began about 4 years ago and has blossomed into–well… sort of an obsession. I am captivated by life in all its beautiful qualities and am thrilled that I am able to capture moments that can be cherished for a lifetime. My approach to photography is simple– to create unique, beautiful and sincere images of my subjects and of course have fun doing it! I am pursuing my dream of becoming a professional portrait photographer and this blog is just the start! I hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by.                                                                                                                                      photo credit: Krysta Howell Photography

My stunning sister at sunrise

I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS POST. My wonderful sister, Jaclyn was kind enough to be a model for our friend Krysta and I for a shoot at sunrise. It was SO COLD and about 7AM in the morning so thank you for being such a great sport. Krysta and I were in photography heaven with the beautiful golden light from the sunrise and such a beautiful model! so enjoy! we sure did.

Quick warm-up in the car and outfit change!

My beautiful friend, Krysta <3

 

My gorgeous bff Krysta and I are both photographers, and we usually never venture in front of the camera. Yesterday, we finally changed that so we could get some updated pictures of ourselves and just to have some fun. It was EXTREMELY cold…but we braved the weather so we could get some nice portraits of each other. Hope you enjoy them!!

Check out the photos she took of me and her other awesome work at: krystahowellphotography.blogspot.com

Annie Headshots

Annie has been a friend of mine since 4th grade at Camp Kittimaquundi…. I can’t believe we have known each other for so long! Anyways, she contacted me so she could get some head shots since she is minoring in acting at William & Mary. I was more than willing to help out and couldn’t wait to spend some time together. We walked around downtown Annapolis and then grabbed some coffee at 49 west. We had such a fun time catching up. Thank you Annie for driving all the way from Virginia! here are some shots from the day.

Christmas Cats

I just got two little kittens a couple weeks ago, named Fiona and Rascal. THEY ARE THE CUTEST THINGS ALIVE. I love them so much and I couldn’t resist snapping some shots of them playing in the Christmas tree!

Maureen and Curt Married!

Maureen and Curt are the cutest couple. They have such a great relationship filled with lots of laughter and love. I have known Maureen’s family for many years and I was so happy I could be a part of their celebration. Their wedding day started at St. John the Baptist in Silver Spring and the reception followed at St. Francis Hall, at the Franciscan Monastery in Washington DC. We walked around the gardens for portraits and I couldn’t of asked for a better back drop!

Maureen and Curt: I wish you all the best! I hope you enjoy the photos!

Madalynn and Mike Engaged

I am so excited about this post because Madalynn is my sister! to say I enjoyed doing their engagement shoot would be an understatement…. we went to several locations, had outfit changes, and were shooting for about 4 hours! I love both Maddy and Mike so much and can’t wait for their wedding in November. I hope you enjoy the photos!

Washington State

In June I went to Washington State for the first time to visit some family. I went with my mother and sister and we had so much fun! This state is so beautiful and I can’t wait to go back. Here are some of the photos from the trip.

Maureen and Curt Engaged!

My first engagement session! I have been waiting so long to finally have the chance to do an engagement session…and Maureen and Curt were the best couple to share that experience with! We went to Brookside Gardens in Wheaton which was a beautiful location. Maureen and Curt were such naturals in front of the camera and we all had so much fun! Enjoy!
