Hi, I'm renata

get to know me

I was born in Brazil but have lived in Kansas City for over 30 years, and I absolutely love it here. I like to travel, and learn about new cultures. I have been  married to the love of my life for over 8 years and we have two sweet little dogs that we are obsessed with. When I am not out capturing photos, I am usually home cooking with my husband and watching Netflix.


I have been capturing weddings for over 5 years and it feels amazing to have found the career I know I was meant for. I have always been a hopeless romantic, watching all of the rom coms and reading Nicholas Sparks novels as I grew up. One of my favorite parts of a wedding day would be the first time you and your spouse see each other, whether that is down the aisle or during your first look.  Another favorite  is seeing your family and friend's faces while you dance your first dance. Everyone is just so happy and ready to celebrate your love, and it's the sweetest.


While I would say my niche is primarily couples, and weddings, I absolutely love following your story and capturing your family as it grows. I love to think of us as friends and to be invited back to see how your story unfolds, is the biggest compliment.

Photography is love

 

 

After years of creating art in every way, I knew somehow I'd have to make Photography a part of my life forever. To say that I get to do this as a career, is a literal dream.


Photography applies to all aspects of life, but there is something truly magical about capturing the love between people.
