Hello there! I’m Rena
A Fine art newborn, milestone, family & headshot photographer serving Lincolnwood and the surrounding areas.
Since opening my photography studio in 2015, I’ve had the honor of photographing more than 500 families and preserving the moments that pass far too quickly. As a wife and mother of four, I know firsthand how quickly life changes—and how the little details and personalities you see every day become the memories you treasure most.
I love documenting the many seasons of family life, from maternity and newborn sessions to growing families and milestone moments. My goal is to create a calm, meaningful experience where you can relax, be present with the people you love, and enjoy your family while I preserve it for you. I also offer professional headshots for those who want natural, confident images that represent them well.
It is an honor to serve families in Lincoln Square and help preserve the memories of this season of life.

Testimonials
I didn’t even look into any other options before booking Rena because I knew that no one else would be able to pull off what I was looking for. The best part of the entire experience was Rena’s relaxed & easy-going nature during the session, as it literally turned what could have been so stressful into such an enjoyable family experience.
I look at the pictures hanging in my house every day, and I know they were worth every penny spent.

Who would have believed that a family photography session could actually be fun?! Rena was so super-helpful throughout the entire process, and the fact that she took care of the product ordering also was a huge plus for me. I’m a major procrastinator & I probably would still have not taken care of it!
I was so happy with her patience & customer service, and the pictures came out even better than I could have dreamed! Can’t wait to do this again! I look at the pictures hanging in my house every day, and I know they were worth every penny spent.
