Client Testimonials

“Renee took spectacular photos of me for my business.  From the initial conversation, to the shoot, to how quickly she sent me the images, I am so impressed.  I loved that she had so many ideas on where and how to shoot.  She created an image list for the morning, and asked if I had any additional shots I needed.  She told me what to bring, and even brought props of her own.  She made me feel so comfortable during the shoot.  I have gotten so many compliments on the photos.  She really captured my personality and gave me so much variety.  I highly recommend her!”

“We used R.Machan photography to get some maternity/ family photos. Renee was so patient and flexible with our family. I was 32 weeks pregnant, it's been HOT  I've got a 22 month old toddler who is fearless and a busy body. She was able to capture some amazing moments for our family. My son absolutely loved her! She brought her props including for my son to play with. He loved it! She took a picture of me holding my ultrasound pictures and made me look graceful.”

”Wow!!!  Im not a huge reviewer but I need to speak up when credit is due.  Renee was awesome!!!  I have a recent graduate and a senior in high school so I was definitely in need of some good photos.  From the moment I reached out to Renee is was very smooth and pleasant.  She had great communication via email for the initial planning and directions/suggestions.  Once we agreed on a time and location the rest was effortless.  She is very in touch with the outdoors so we both thought Vasquez Rocks would be ideal.  Renee found the optimal places, backdrops, times and angles to give my kids a very nice selection of photos to choose from.  Both my kids were a bit nervous and usually shy when it comes to this sort of thing but I gotta say, Renee knows how to bring out the best in people.  Very natural and comforting as well as fun.  If you are looking for someone to capture those special moments I would definitely give Renee a call.  Im sure you will be happy!!!  We cant wait to book her for our family Christmas photos.  Thanks Renee Cheers!!!”

“My cats are my family's best friends and what makes our house a home. So I was thrilled to have them photographed.  Renee was the best person for the job, since the cats are all a bit timid upon meeting strangers, and I knew she has a great love of animals.  Renee took her time to meet them all, was so patient and waited for them to come to her.  Her comfort with animals is obvious as even my temperamental kitty warmed up to her and , as you can tell by some of the photos I am posting, was extremely comfortable with Renee photographing them. And then there is her skill.... well, isn't it obvious?!  Renee is a top notch photographer who knows her stuff!  And a lover of all creatures.  What is better than that!?  I would recommend Renee for any occasion :)”

“Took photos with Renee for my college graduation pictures and love how they turned out, especially at the price for her June special event. Renee is a great photographer and made the process really fun and easy! She is very responsive if you need to get a hold of her before or after the shoot. She is very professional during this outbreak, she does wear a mask during the shoot. Renee gives you all the information you need before your shoot and even suggests locations to go if you do not know the area or do not want to shoot somewhere specific. She is very organized and has a list of what poses she wants to take, it shows she truly cares about her clients and her photos. Truly a memorable experience the pictures came out very high quality. I would definitely recommend any photos you need done!”

“Had a great experience with Renee.  I needed some new headshots/ website photos and had been avoiding it for years since I am not comfortable being photographed.  I saw some of her photos and really like her style.  She was lovely to work with.  She gives great guidance, easy to talk to and came up with some great places to shoot pictures.   I am very happy with the results.”
