Renee Whiting Photography-Santa Cruz, CA Photographer » Santa Cruz, CA Newborn and Child Photographer

  • Welcome to Renee Whiting Photography

    Hi and welcome to my blog!

    I'm a photographer in Santa Cruz, CA, specializing in Newborns through Pre-K. I love my sessions with the little ones and hope it shows in my work. If you like what you see, I hope you'll use the "contact" button and drop me an email so we can get a session scheduled for you. Please be aware that I spend a good deal of time in Santa Barbara (my sweet grand-babies are there), so don't wait till the last minute to book your session. If you are interested in scheduling a newborn session, please contact me approx. a month before your due date and I'll "pencil" you in.

    I am excited to announce the opening of my new studio! It is located in Scotts Valley in the Camp Evers Center. It is bright, fun and very kid friendly!!

    And, for those of you who might be wondering (or are a bit confused), I'm still Nana at Nana's Empty Nest. I just came to the realization that I really missed photographing the little ones, and decided to put more of my focus back into photography. I'll still be posting the occasional recipe, etc. And, all of Nana's old posts can be found under the "category" tab under Nana's Empty Nest.

    Give me a call, I'd love to see you and your little one(s).
    Blessings,
    Renee

The A Family!

All the way from Dubai for a photo session!! Ok, just kidding, they’re family, so they really didn’t come “just” for a photo session, but since they were here they decided it was time for a few new photos.

Our plan was to do a few family shots in my yard, but the gardener happened to show up exactly as we were ready to begin:( And of course, by the time he finished there was barely any shade and the sun was already shining brightly.

No problem, into the studio we go….

And, we finished off with a “cousins” photo for Grandma! I hope she loves it because you have no idea what it took to get these four to “sit” and “look at me,” let alone keep their “hands to themselves” and “smile!”

Baby Wyatt

How cute is this little guy?

It was a bit of a crazy session, trying to get baby/big brother pictures, a few family shots, then just baby, but when it was all said and done, we did it!!

I love putting together storyboards and think they are the perfect way to “tell a story” within one frame. I just love these images together!

Finola

I loved this session! The parents were great and Finola is absolutely adorable! You’ve got to love parents that bring in fun props that are important to them. We used her petti from Grandma, Mom’s longboard, her “old school tattoo” crib blanket and Mom’s work hat (both Mom & Dad are park rangers).

It was a perfect session full of cuteness! Thank you so much for bringing Finola to me for her newborn session. I look forward to seeing her again in the future!
