Most photographers lead with, “I picked up a camera at 16. I’ve always been artistic andI studied visual arts in college” #yaddayadda
Cute....but, when you’re looking for your family photographer, what matters is how you will feel during the entire experience working together and after your photos are living in your home. 
 
So, here’s what you ACTUALLY need to know about me...

 Hi! Ren Lenhof, wife, mother & founder of Studio 29 Photography est. 2010. Of all the things I've accomplished and produced in life, nothing will ever hold a candle to the joy that is raising my son. He is the sunshine in my life and being his mother is the most fun I've ever had.

I know your one-year-old won’t look like this next Tuesday, and your seven-year-old is already halfway to eight. And that's why I am the photographer for millennial mothers who value photography and want their family memories thoughtfully handled from start to finish, without feeling obligated to manage every single detail.

After 18 years of photographing families across SE Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Mequon, Grafton, Cedarburg, and the surrounding areas, I'm ridiculously good at what I do; helping mothers get gorgeous photos of their family on the walls of their home.

I'm not going to pretend my job is more poetic than it is. I chase toddlers around, I make weird noises to get them to look at me, I keep stickers in my camera bag, and at the end of it all, my clients are crying happy tears over the photos on their walls for years to come.

Photo sessions are sometimes chaotic and sweaty, and someone usually has snot on their face at some point, and (yes truthfully) I love every second of it (and will always remain patient and calm) because I can see through that chaos and guarantee gorgeous portraits hanging on your walls afterwards and a custom-designed heirloom photo album that will be looked through and loved for generations to come. 

If you're the kind of family who values legacy over social media trends… who wants portraits designed, printed, and selected for them, and who understands that a session with me is an investment --- I’d be honored to work with you. I cannot wait to capture your smiles!
