Hello from Stephanie Renae Photography


It's great to meet you!

Stephanie Renae


I am married to my best friend and soulmate, and we have three beautiful children and one feisty Yellow Lab. We live north of Sacramento, CA and we love to travel and go on adventures!

I stumbled into this business in 2006 as a favor to friends when their wedding photographer backed out at the last minute. I was extremely nervous, but it opened a floodgate and I never looked back.

Photography is hard. I can't tell you how often I have cried with expecting parents or giggled through a wardrobe malfunction with a laughing boudoir model.

My clients become my friends because they expose part of their soul to me, and I am honored to be part of important milestones in my friends' lives.

I would love to get to know you!
