studio 29 photography SPECIALIZEs IN FAMILY Photography & NEWBORN photography

If you're here, on my site, looking for Wisconsin's best family photographer,
you already know the moments are flying by.

You're watching your kids grow faster than you can keep up with, and you are constantly scrolling through your phone trying to find that one photo where everyone's actually looking half-decent ...
and all you've got is 47 blurry iPhone shots.

Now that I’m a mom myself, I get it on a cellular level. If you’ve been waiting for things to feel calmer… don’t. You'll never forget having photos taken by me.

Since 2010, I've photographed thousands of families... and photographed campaigns for PUMA, Nordstrom, Martha Stewart, Barstool Sports, and more & I've built my entire business on one thing: efficiently capturing real connection. 
I love being YOUR family photographer because I GET IT!

Imagine walking down your hallway next year and seeing your kids’ gap-toothed smiles and clingy hugs frozen on your walls. Every time you pass those portraits, you’ll feel the love and laughter from this season of life all over again.

I don’t do stiff, overly posed family photos.
I show up at your house, your favorite park, or my studio and document the real stuff:
the mundane but incredibly beautiful moments that happen in the milli-seconds between snack-time meltdowns & the shoe negotiations. I am freakishly amazing at capturing the beautiful magic that happens within the chaos, because that’s being a family really is!

When you book a family photography session with Studio 29 Photography, everything’s included: your investment with me Ren Lenhof, the photo taking, the signature polishing, and a gorgeous gallery of images just begging to have a place on your walls!!
Sessions are photographed with albums and wall art in mind. I help with styling, location, and artwork planning, then guide you through designing printed pieces you’ll enjoy in your home.

I don’t believe that sending along a click-through digital gallery is good enough for you because your images should not become digital dust!! 

That’s why I provide a full-service experience to our clients. This means that your photography experience won’t end with just an online gallery. I want to help you preserve your images, so I promise to make it easier than ever to get your images onto your walls, and into the hands of the people you love most.

Since 2010, I’ve photographed hundreds of Milwaukee families and I can't wait to capture yours!

Ren at Studio 29 has been capturing our family’s story since our oldest was born 12 years ago — and we’ve gone back to her every single year since. That alone says it all. She is the consummate professional — incredibly organized, creative, patient, and gifted at bringing out genuine emotion and connection in every shot. Her work consistently exceeds expectations, with an eye for detail and quality that is truly second to none.

Over the years, she’s photographed newborns, toddlers, growing boys, and family milestones, always making the experience fun and effortless. Her ability to adapt to any environment, wrangle kids with ease, and still produce magazine-worthy images is nothing short of amazing.

If you want timeless photos that perfectly capture who your family is — not just what you look like — Ren is the photographer you want behind the camera. We’re beyond grateful for everything she’s created for us and can’t imagine trusting anyone else.

Thank you, Ren, for giving our family memories that will last a lifetime! 💛

Proud wisconsin Photographer For:

The Studio 29 Photography Experience

When you book a session with me, you’re not signing up for a fast-food version of family photos. I’m not McDonald’s… I don’t serve “quick, cheap, and convenient” galleries that feel disposable a year later. The families who choose to work with Studio 29 Photography want legacy… something they’ll love & cherish in 20+ years!!

My process is intentionally simple and efficient for you and intentionally detailed for me. From the moment you reach out, everything is clear, guided, and stress-free. Your job is to show up with your people and have a great time and I take care of the rest!

After the session, the pace changes on purpose. I don’t firehose you with photos overnight because I don’t shoot for speed… I shoot for legacy. 

Studio 29 Photography is for families who want honest moments, natural connection, and portraits that feel like real life. I focus on creating work that captures the chaos, the quiet, and everything in between, and then helping you turn those moments into printed pieces that will remain part of your home for years to come.

what's it like to work with
studio 29 photography?

⁠Full Disclosure: I'm excited to hear you ask that because between you and me...⁠

*looks left*⁠

*looks right*⁠

I am great with deadlines, client communication, and making people laugh - all while infusing
 the signature Studio 29 Photography experience into every session!

"Ren Lenhof you are MAGIC! We love how beautifully you capture the intimate moments and how laid back, yet professional you are."

"You're worth every penny! My memories are priceless and you continue to capture them perfectly over and over again!"

"You are so incredibly talented! These pictures are amazing & we couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much for capturing these moments for us!!!! We are obsessed! 🥰"

"I love every single one of my family photos! I never wanted the gallery to end!"

"I have never had family photos taken in just 30 minutes that I've loved so much! I cannot believe how many you got! Now I just need a bigger house so I can frame them all!"

"We loved working with Ren so much! I'll rewind for a sec ... I love getting family pictures taken around the same time every year, like, to look back on and use for Christmas cards and such -- but I also kinda hate getting family pictures taken when the day itself rolls around. It just feels stressful to me, like, are my kids going to be in OK moods? Ren made me feel like we had all the time in the world; nothing was rushed or frazzled or stressful. She was super patient and great with the kids -- to the point where my daughter was like, inviting her over for a "playdate" at our house, haha -- and it was just a super nice experience, overall. I think she was able to get all the shots she needed for our family session, because we were thrilled by the final gallery. I loved SO many, it was like, "how will I ever choose?" The lighting was perfect, we didn't have to wait too long to see a preview, there were SO many photo options I loved, and I even ordered a few prints, as well. I loved these pics so much! Basically, Ren's my favorite photographer I've worked with -- and we've moved around/used quite a few over the years! Great communication, love her photography style, and will absolutely use her again and again for as long as we remain in Milwaukee. Don't be deterred by the price ... a lot goes into this! Between the session itself and the editing, remember that you get what you pay for. Your kids will only be this little once! Worth it to spend the extra money to make sure you're *delighted* by the final result."

"We had such a great experience with Ren! She was professional yet personable, making us and our pups feel comfortable right away. I love her style and the great vibe she brought to the shoot. She really listened to what we wanted and made sure to capture it perfectly. The studio area was so cute, and we’re really pleased with how the photos turned out. Highly recommend!"




i AM the Golden GOOSE of photographers...

Why I love being your wisconsin Family Photographer:

When photographing your family, I’m thinking about what I want, as a Mother, documented; all those details, connections, and feelings wrapped up into a handful of beautiful photos. 
And THAT is what I capture during each and every one of my family sessions. 
Sure we all love a good photo of everyone smiling at the camera, so I try to get those finished first - because there are SO MANY OTHER MOMENTS I want to remember AND so much I want my baby boy to be able to look back on. 
As a mom, you are the center of their universe (for some of you, even now, you can see that starting to shift).  And while raising young children and "being their everything" can be exhausting, you still want to hold onto this stage as long as possible. 
I am here to do that for you by...
  • Capturing those sweet little details - chubby baby thighs, the little curls in their hair, their adorable belly laugh, first tooth, or their tiny hand holding onto your single finger because it's all they can grasp. 
  • Preserving the memories of your children's joy when you hug them, tickle them, dance with them, hug them, or snuggle them close. 
  • Snapping photos of the small changes in your children's faces that sometimes is difficult to see when you see them daily. 
  • Capturing the bond between siblings. 
  • Documenting how much your children look up to and admire you (even if they don't always show it). 
Your family deserves photos that reflect your unique bond, personality, and style.
