Hi, I’m Alina Renert—a photographer, storyteller, content creator, and creative professional with a deep love for capturing life’s most meaningful moments. As a daughter, sister, wife, and step-mom, I understand just how precious family is—and how quickly time flies. That’s what fuels my passion: preserving connection, emotion, and joy through timeless imagery.
My creative journey began as a curious child with a camera and blossomed into a lifelong calling. While studying in Florence, Italy—immersed in art, culture, and history—I discovered the true power of visual storytelling. Since then, my lens has become an extension of how I see the world: full of beauty, truth, and color.
For over a decade, I’ve built a thriving photography business dedicated to maternity, newborn, and family portraits. From your first message to final gallery delivery, I guide every step of the experience—offering support, vision, and care. I handle all aspects of my studio: branding, client relationships, session direction, editing, and more. My style is known for vibrant colors, natural light, authentic emotions, and a touch of timeless magic.
My ultimate goal? To make you feel seen, comfortable, and connected—so we can create something real together. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or simply documenting a season of life, I’ll help you preserve the love and laughter that matters most.
My home studio in Wheeling, IL offers a calm and cozy space designed for comfort and creativity. I also offer on-location sessions across Lake and Cook counties, including Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, Northbrook, Wilmette, Glenview, Highland Park, Libertyville, and other nearby areas within 20 miles of Wheeling.
Honored to be named one of the Top 20 Best Chicago Newborn Photographers from 2016–2020, and again in 2022–2025.
More than an award—it’s a reminder of the trust families place in me, year after year.
Let’s make some magic together.
