What you don't see in this photo is that the night before I was almost in tears because I couldn't figure out what to wear for our newborn session (postpartum bodies are no joke), the day of the session I was questioning why I decided to travel over 45 minutes for hair and makeup and literally the moment the photographer arrived, my daughter ran straight into the vacuum cleaner and a large, red mark appeared (yes, I was vacuuming right before the photographer arrived).

Services
During the consultation, we can either chat on the phone about all of the details (pricing, what to wear, how to book, etc.) or if you prefer email, I'm happy to connect that way. The big day is finally here - your session! Now just relax and enjoy the experience with your loved ones. I'll keep things light and stress free.
When a child sees a family portrait with them included in the photograph they say to themselves: 'These people have me as part of what they are, that's why I belong here. After your session, you will receive an online gallery where you will view your final edited images. This fee covers immediate families only.
After you book, I send you some helpful tips as well as my private client Pinterest board for inspiration. And I always encourage my clients to text me a pic with options if they're not sure. I'm here to help! My clients love my fine art prints and heirloom albums, but I understand that sometimes you just want the digital files.
I loved the idea of a lifestyle shoot at home but still wanted a sense of elegance and timelessness. These are memories we can never get back, so it was more than worth the investment to us. I found Renee's work on Instagram and contacted her, she was so genuinely excited for our upcoming arrival. Not only did she take beautiful portraits and style everything perfectly, but she was so kind and down to earth.

Renee is fantastic! From the time I inquired about hiring her for our newborn photos (for our first born twins) she was very prompt and thorough communicating with me. As a first time Mom I was worried about making sure my babies were happy and “photograph” ready- Renee spent a lot of time answering all my questions and walked me through her process. The day of the pictures she spent a lot of time out our home to ensure she got the perfect shots, poses, etc.... she handled my infants with love and care to ensure they were calm and happy. It was a very relaxing, calm and pleasant experience

Renee is absolutely the best. We hired her to photograph our family in our home after welcoming home triplets from the NICU. They were born 9 weeks prematurely and their big sister (2 years old) couldn’t wait for their arrival. Renee not only had the patience to allow us to make it through multiple feedings during our session, but she also was exceptional with our two year old toddler. Her work is flawless and the way she leads and captures these special moments are priceless. Worth EVERY penny. If you are looking for a newborn and/or family photographer... look no further! Book NOW!

We had a wonderful experience with Renee! She was timely for our appointment and with sending the final photos. We never felt rushed and she was accommodating when our newborn needed a break to eat. She is used to working with babies and captures them perfectly! The photos turned out beautifully. A great experience from start to finish - would recommend her to anyone looking for a family photographer.

We loved working with Renee for our newborn photos! Not only was she able to get such amazing pictures of our 7 day old baby girl, but she got amazing pictures of us as a family, including our sweet pup, who never sit s still. She is not only a baby whisperer, but also a dog whisperer!! We will cherish these pictures for years to come and most certainly will work with her for future family/newborn pics!

Renee was such a joy to work with. I had a very difficult and pretty traumatizing labor and delivery so our first few weeks at home with our first baby were very difficult. Needless to say, I was really nervous about having someone come to capture what should have been a very joyful time when I was just downright exhausted. I can easily say without hesitation that Renee was a light at the end of the tunnel. She was patient, kind, and really made me feel like we had been best friends for years, when we had only just met as she walked into my home. Watching her capture our sweet baby girl made my

I could not recommend Renee enough! I was hesitant about newborn pictures because a lot of times they seem a bit unnatural but once I saw Renee’s work it was exactly what I wanted! On the day of she took so much time making sure we had all the shots we wanted plus so many more! She stayed for several hours and was so flexible with the babies schedule. Once we saw the images we just loved them all and she made the ordering process easy, quick and efficient and was so thorough to make sure we got our album exactly how he wanted! I can’t wait to have another session with her!!

If you are thinking about having lifestyle newborn photos taken, DO IT & pick Renee! She did a fantastic job at capturing our family and making us feel comfortable. She gave pointers on posing and was extremely patient with our two older children and having to feed our newborn in the middle of our session. She communicated great through the entire process from preparing for our session to receiving our order. The quality of our album is so beautiful and we will cherish our photos forever. I highly recommend using Renee as your family photographer, you won't be disappointed.

We cannot say enough great things about this newborn photographer, Renee!! She was laidback and lovely to work with and wonderful with my brand new baby girl. Although I had just had my daughter the week before, Renee made me feel pretty and captured moments we will treasure forever. Renee is a perfectionist and will bend over backwards to make sure her clients are happy! We HIGHLY recommend Domus Aurea Portraits by Renee!!!! We will definitely be using her in the future.

Renee is an amazing photographer and person! She gave us the most beautiful family photos that far exceeded my expectation. She is very personable and sweet during the session and made us feel so comfortable. Also, she did great with our 2 year old son whom I was certain would not look happy (or still) in any photo. Turns out he loved her and was the star of the photo shoot!

Renee has been such an amazing photographer for my family. What sets her apart from other photographers is the fact that she is also a mother to a little baby girl and can really relate and make sure you have a great and relaxing photo session. She is great at capturing natural light and in-between moments. She is prompt, professional, and a pure joy to work with! We have loved both sessions with Renee and cant wait to work with her again.
