I'm Renee, the face behind Renee Joanne Photography. I am often told that my approach to sessions is calming and comfortable which is the biggest compliment I think a photographer can receive! I love capturing these moments for you so much that I catch myself smiling throughout the entire editing process, and when I do it makes my smile even bigger. That's how I know I absolutely love what I do!

​

I have 3 amazing kids who test me on a daily basis but bring me so much immense joy that I could just burst! (I hope you can relate haha).

​

I am drawn to the adventurous souls, the dreamers, the ones who want to dance barefoot on the grass and run around at sunset chasing that last bit of light.

 

When I was 14, my Aunty gave me an old Pentax film camera that she had owned for almost 20 years. I started using it in art class at high school and developed my own prints in the dark room there. I fell in love with photography from the moment I picked up that camera.

​

I have a documentary approach to shooting. Magic happens when you least expect it and that’s how I love to shoot. It's the in between moments I look for, the ones when you look back at the images, you can feel the moment, the magic and your connection.

 

I am very passionate about printing photos. Showing your images online and on social media are great, but actually having a physical print or album that can be viewed forever in your home, that can be handed down to your grandkids and them to theirs as heirlooms, that's what it's all about. That's what I'm about, creating family memories that will live on forever.

I can't wait to work with you!
