all about ren lenhof
Hey, I’m Ren — the founder & full-time photographer behind Studio 29 Photography in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and wherever else your love story takes uS!
I photographed my very first wedding back in high school, and I never stopped. After graduating college, I officially launched Studio 29 in July 2010 — and since then, I’ve built a career I love, working with clients I adore, and documenting real life as it actually feels.
Here’s what you should know:
And here’s the fun stuff:
- I’m a first-time mom to Lake (born Sept 2024)
- I’m obsessed with our two dogs, Kenzo + Monkey
- I play ice hockey and yes, I’m small for a tend
- I’ve only ever driven manual transmission cars
- We have 150+ houseplants
Bottom line?
You’re not just hiring someone with a nice camera. You’re hiring an experienced artist, a trusted creative partner, and someone who gets it — how fast life moves, how important these moments are, and how much you’ll want to remember it all.
From local family sessions to destination weddings, I’ll show up fully, shoot honestly, and deliver work that feels like you.

I’m Ren Lenhof, founder of Studio 29 Photography — and if you’re looking for a photographer with the receipts... hi, welcome.
Since 2010, I’ve photographed weddings and families across Wisconsin, the Midwest, and beyond — from mountaintop elopements to backyard chaos that turns into magic.
I’ve worked with global brands, Fortune 500s, and families who just wanted the real stuff documented well.
You’ve seen my work in Martha Stewart, Seventeen, Woman’s World, Barstool Sports, Nordstrom, The Huffington Post, West Elm, Diet Pepsi, PUMA, Baird, Merrill Lynch, Baker Tilly, and Apartment Therapy... to name a few. Whether it’s a brand shoot or a birth story, I bring the same level of creativity, care, and don’t-miss-a-beat precision.
Studio 29 clients? They don’t just want photos.
They want trust. Ease. Artistry.
They want someone who gets it — and shows up fully.
