I'm IN THE BUSINESS OF BOTTLING UP your most precious MOMENTS and getting them off your phones & on your walls.
If you're here, you already know the moments are flying by.
Yes! My Home needs to be filled with gorgeous photos of my family!
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 first-time 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 of your precious children!
Since 2010, I've photographed thousands of families... and photographed campaigns for PUMA, Nordstrom, Martha Stewart, Barstool Sports, Nordstrom and more & I've built my entire business on one thing: efficiently capturing real connection.
I love being Wisconsin's favorite family photographer because I GET IT as a mother, as a wife, as a friend, as a fellow business owner. I love serving clients who want their photo sessions to be relaxed and meaningful rather than a performance.
I photograph Wisconsin Families who want heirloom art for their home, not just a digital folder full of images. I don’t deliver digital galleries and wish you luck; Studio 29 is a full white-glove art focused photography studio from pre-session planning to post-session custom designed albums & framed wall art pieces delivered right to your doorstep.
At your house, your favorite park, or my studio... I know how to make ridiculously gorgeous photographs while your children continue being your children. I’ll guide you into beautiful light, make you look incredible, and catch the little things happening between the snack requests & shoe negotiations... the way your child folds into your lap, grabs your face, or laughs at something only your family understands. After nearly 20 years photographing families, I know how to find the beauty in all of it.

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! 💛

The Studio 29 Photography family portrait Experience
I’m the family photographer for moms who want ridiculously gorgeous photos of their favorite people & someone who knows how to handle everything that comes with making them.
Nearly 20 years behind the camera means I know how to find beautiful light, make you look incredible, and photograph your children without expecting them to become different people for the afternoon. Being a mom myself means I understand why you want these pictures so badly... and how much you’ve already handled before you arrive.
So yes, I have a plan. I’ll help you choose the location, guide your outfits, and direct your session while giving your children room to be themselves. You get to be in the photographs, love on your people, and trust that I’m paying attention to the details.
And because I know how much effort went into getting everyone here... we’re going to do something beautiful with these photos.
After your session, I carefully select & edit your images, then my design team helps you choose the photographs you want to live with every day. You’ll see artwork mocked up in your actual rooms, get guidance on sizes & framing, and have help designing an album your children can pull off the shelf whenever they want.
You don’t need to become a print expert or add “figure out what to do with our photos” to your list. We guide the decisions & arrange delivery of your finished pieces... you get to enjoy them.
I work with a small number of families each month so I can give your session, your photographs, and your finished artwork the attention they deserve. I want you to love how you look, recognize the little personalities you adore, and walk past your photos on an ordinary Tuesday thinking, goodness, I love these people.
If that’s what you want from your family photos... I would love to take it from here.

When you book your family photos with Studio 29 Photography, you’re hiring my eye, my experience, and my ability to make something ridiculously beautiful out of the people you love most... then my design team helps you give those photographs a place in your home.
I know how to choose the light, location, outfits, and little details that make a photograph exceptional. I also know how to work with your children so you can spend your session enjoying them instead of managing everyone. Nearly 20 years behind the camera & hundreds of Milwaukee families photographed since founding Studio 29 in 2010... you’re in very good hands.
And after we make these gorgeous photographs, you won’t be left with a gallery link & another project. You have enough to do without spending your evening comparing frame sizes or attempting to design an album between bedtime requests.
My design team will show you artwork mocked up in your actual rooms, recommend sizes & framing that complement your home, and help you create a custom coffee table album you’ll want everyone to open. We guide you through choosing your favorites & arrange delivery of your finished pieces... because exceptional photographs deserve an equally thoughtful finish.
For Milwaukee & Ozaukee County families who want beautiful photographs, expert direction, and someone to handle the details from outfits to artwork... I would love to take it from here.

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. 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:
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 taken 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 shift starting). 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 or snuggle them close.
- Capturing the bond between siblings.
- Documenting how much your children look up to and admire you (even if they don't always show it).
