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 let’s be honest, when you’re looking for a Wisconsin family photographer, what matters is how you and your home will feel when we’re finished working together. 
So, here’s what you ACTUALLY need to know about me, Hi! Ren Lenhof, mother & founder of Studio 29 Photography since 2010.

I know your one-year-old won’t look like this next Tuesday, and your seven-year-old is already halfway to eight.

I am the photographer for millennial mothers who value a beautiful home 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.

The "timeless heirloom" photographers and I are doing the same job... I'm just not pretending the process is at all sacred. 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 all that chaos and guarantee portraits hanging on your walls afterwards.

If you're the kind of family who values legacy over trend… who wants portraits printed for them so they can live with them and who understands that photography is an investment --- I’d be honored to work with you.
You & your home deserve more than digital files sitting in the cloud.
