Alina is amazing!! We have had her take our family and kid photos 6 times over the past 5 years. She is great with young kids and helps keep parents sane when the kids are not being cooperative. Her photos are beautiful and she catches some great unposed moments. I highly recommend her and feel so fortunate that we found her! read more

We had a great experience with Alina! We hired Alina for our son's birthday party. She arrived on time and was ready to start shooting right away. She quickly made herself part of the background. The kids didn't even notice she was there, and she was able to get lots of great candid shots! My son wasn't feeling great, but Alina had some toys and props with her to help distract him and also had some tricks up her sleeve to get a fussy 3-year-old to smile! She got the CD to us by the following week. With other photographers, we had to wait at least a month and usually had to pay through the roof to get prints without a watermark. Alina's pricing was very reasonable and we were very happy with our pictures. We will definitely be calling her in the future. read more

AR photography was great to work with. Alina is always a blast to work with. She is very patient when it comes to high-maintenance clients, like babies for example. Every problem has a solution with Alina. She is persistent and if it needs to be done, she will go an extra mile to do what needs to be done AND put a cherry on top. Very fast turn around on editing photos and getting them to me, because I never have the patience. I want to see them NOW! And she is good like that! read more

Looking over the pictures taken by Alina, I am truly speechless. In that short session, she was able to capture so many incredible photos, and the quality and clarity of the images is amazing. Our kids are quite lively but she somehow managed to catch them at just the right moment. Alina made the session fun and enjoyable, and produced results that we will enjoy for many years to come. Looking forward to working with Alina again and would highly recommend her! read more

I honestly couldn't be more pleased with the end product of our newborn photoshoot. Alina is an expert with newborns- she handles them with care and knows how to get the right poses. Extremely professional and worth the time and money!! Thanks again Alina for capturing such an amazing moment in our lives!!! -The Quirogas read more

Alina is a absolutely amazing photographer, we felt very lucky to have her for my daughter three months photo shoot. The photo shooting took about 2 hours and went very smoothly, she has so much experience with babies, I had to nurse my daughter in the middle of photo taking, she waited there very patiently, and even offered my husband a very good quality cup of coffee and lovely bunny crackers for my older son. Everybody was so happy. Big thanks for her lovely assistant Mila, her mother, she is so pleasing, and tried very hard to make my daughter smile, so Alina could make those lovely precious moments forever! We are also very happy with the pictures! Big headache to pick 25 images from so many good ones! We are absolutely working with her again next time! read more

I wish I could give Alina more then just 5 starts!!! She is truly AMAZING! And we are so fortunate to have our maternity shoot done by her. She is very easy to work with, very creative and professional. We've had a great experience and lots of fun. We would highly recommend Alina Renert Photography for everyone, who is looking for awesome quality and reasonable price. Absolutely LOVE her work!!! Can not wait for our little bundle of joy to arrive to have our newborn session done as well :) read more

Alina is amazing at what she does! We did Renee's new born session with her and Renee's one year session!! Amazing sets, outfits and great end result! read more

I've been watching Alina's page on Facebook for a very long time, Probably years. I knew that when I got pregnant and had a baby, I absolutely wanted the kind of photos she took. When I finally gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, I contacted her during my Pregnancy and we scheduled a date. She took my babies newborn photos and they came out absolutely beautiful. It was so nice to also have her just take over the shoot and honestly I didn't have to even think that much, when let's be honest your mind is pretty foggy after you give birth. Everything turned out wonderful and she worked with me afterwards as well wonderfully. Great job! read more

Alina did a phenomenal job with my new family - I got the final pictures last week and I am externally grateful that I decided to do professional photos with Alina. We spent over an hour together with my fiancé and daughter and Alina worked her magic and kept my daughters attention the whole time. If you're wondering if you should go the professional route with your family - I am telling you, it will be one of the best decisions you make with your family. read more

Alina did a hybrid 1 year old/family lifestyle session at our house. She is very easy to work with and is a great photographer! Having 3 kids running around with a limited attention span, I was impressed with the beautiful moments she was able to capture of our family! Thanks again Alina! read more

Our family session was a smashing success! Despite the cold weather and two super-active boys, Alina was able to capture the moments that we will treasure forever. She was patient until she got just the right shot and improvised on the spot with poses, props, and lighting. Unlike some photographers, she did not bother us with ordering packages or unneeded products. All photos, beautifully retouched, have been delivered digitally online and on a DVD. I would recommend Alina Renert Photography to all my friends! read more

Alina is amazing!! She is great to work with, has adorable outfits for babies to wear in the photos, and takes fantastic photos! We had such a great experience with her that I've already contacted her to reserve an appointment for photos this fall. read more

Like all the other reviews have said, Alina is fantastic! She listens to what you want and captures the exact images you were hoping for. She also offers great suggestions if you are not sure what type of image you are trying to create! An artist in her truest form! Thanks, Alina! read more

The lifestyle session Alina shot at our house was outstanding! She managed to capture just the right moments where both my husband and I look natural and unposed. Alina had all the ideas about outfits, location, and composition and I didn't feel any pressure to come up with the setting on my own. My husband was originally opposed to the entire idea of doing the shoot, but after working with Alina, he only had positive impressions of the entire experience. Alina is fun to work with and truly understands all aspects of photography. I felt like she truly listened to what we were looking to get out of the pictures and certainly delivered! She's extremely professional and super quick to respond to all questions. Can't wait for our newborn session in a few weeks!! read more

We hired Alina to do our son's 1st birthday and she was great! She came on time and prepared to work. She was super patient with all of our guests and children. She managed to capture fantastic moments on this very special occasion! Within a week she had all the images uploaded to a viewing site so that our family and friends could view and order pictures. I would highly recommend Alina Renert Photography for all of your special occasions. read more

From the first conversation I had with Alina to the finished product, I have been nothing but blown away. Alina is everything you would want from a photographer. She is kind, professional, patient, personable and flexible. I loved EVERY minute I worked with her. Her wonderful gift of photography has captured the beauty of my family and most importantly a huge milestone in my son's life. She is a beautiful person inside and out and her work reflects that. I am a customer for life! read more

A big THANK YOU again to Alina Renert for the wonderful newborn photography session and amazing photos that came out of the shoot. We will treasure these forever and we're so happy she was able to capture everything as beautifully she you did. We got the perfect "Daddy/Daughter" shot for our newborn we were looking for and even more images that were beyond what we had expected. We have been showing friends and family and everyone is very impressed. Alina had everything in her studio that was needed for a successful shoot. You definitely get your money's worth. She spends a lot of time and uses all sorts of "tricks of the trade" to calm the baby and has plenty of handmade props that are unique and extraordinarily beautiful. We were very happy with the variety of dynamic magazine quality images we got to keep from our session. It goes without saying the artisan quality of the photos and props are what really make Alina stand out from other photographers and studios. She took time to have a conversation with us prior to our session about what type of portraits we wanted and she definitely delivered exactly that. Nothing was typical or generic, every concept she came up with was creative and unique. I would definitely trust Alina for future portrait photography of our little one and I wish her all the success she deserves. Thanks again to Alina for all her patience and making us feel safe and relaxed - we'll keep watching for more magical moments she captures! read more

Based on the maternity shoot we did with Alina, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her! It was fun, easy, fast, and the pictures came out truly amazing. Going into the shoot, both my husband and I were somewhat skeptical. How cute can a picture of an 8-months prego whale turn out? However, magically Alina made us relax and enjoy the shoot. The results were really impressive: our pictures show how we feel about each other and how excited we are about meeting our baby. Not to sound corny, but Alina found and captured that "pregnancy glow" that I heard so much about but never thought I had. Can't wait to hire Alina for our newborn pictures! Thank you so much for making our maternity pictures really special and natural! read more

We just received our final shots from a family mini session and I can't wait to print them and hang on the wall! Alina has been capturing all my life milestones the past 4 years! I'm a very happy and grateful customer and will continue to rely on Alina for future photo needs! Highly recommend! read more

Our experience with Alina Renert Photography was an absolute success. Not only was Alina both easy to work with, but she has an open mind and made our session SO much fun! Our pictures captured both intimate and playful moments between my husband, me, and our growing baby. We are so thankful to have these memories captured forever and are proud to show our families and friends these photos as well! We are definitely looking forward to working with Alina soon!! read more

Alina is awesome and her work is just phenomenal! She took both our maternity and newborn pictures and both experiances were great. She has a tremendous eye for detail, which, of course, results in wonderful pictures. She is also great at working with people - during our maternity shoot, she made us feel so relaxed and confident and during our newborn session, she showed great care and patience towards our baby. We will definitely be working with Alina again in the future and would highly recommend her to others looking for a photographer as well. read more

Alina was amazing to work with during our newborn photo shoot. I was delayed in searching and booking a photographer but Alina responded to my inquiry very quickly and was able to squeeze us in. She also offered the best deal for newborn photos considering the amount of time she spends with the little one which includes family shots. My baby girl was a little bit older for newborn shots (17 days old) and therefore less cooperative with some poses as she was too awake and alert, but Alina still captured a variety of beautiful photos. She was also very accommodating of a couple of my own photo requests. I highly highly recommend Alina for a newborn photo shoot! read more

Alina was just amazing. She has impeccable taste and fun, interesting ideas. All I had to do was listen to her and as a result I got beautiful pictures. I have so many original, gorgeous images that I can't even decide which one to put on the wall. I would recommend her to all my friends and family. Thank you so much for the unforgettable photo session. read more

Amazing work! I love every single picture! Alina did our family session, was so professional, fun and kids loved her! Photographer myself so choosing who will capture special moments for my family isn't easy because you want the best and Alina is! Can't wait to work with her again. Now the hard part is to choose which pictures to put on canvas which is a great problem to have. read more

Meant to write a review so long ago.... we can not say enough about how much we enjoyed our experience with Alina Renert Photography this past holiday. Our son was three months and wanted to get some pictures to distribute as gifts. Having never hired a child photographer in the past, I researched practically half the photographers in the Chicagoland area... Alina's work was our first choice. Unlike many other photographers that will not do three month old photo session, her team fit us in at the last minute for a Milestone shoot with prints. The pricing was very reasonable for what is created. Her work is absolutely beautiful, far beyond what we had expected. Several relatives were so taken by the shots, they were surprised she was even able to get them.....in short, too late.... it was as positive an experience as we could have hoped for, she allows for several outfit changes, had variety of props and had a woknderful demeanor for small children, stunning pictures. Thank you so much for capturing our little fella just the way he is! read more

Alina Renert Photography is nothing but the best! Alina captured beautiful pictures of my family and me. I hired her for a surprise photo shoot for my parents 25th wedding anniversary and 50th birthdays. She was always quick to respond to emails and arrived on time. I would HIGHLY recommend Alina Renert Photography because not only does she produce beautiful images but she is down to earth and makes the photo shoot fun and easy. Looking forward to using her again. read more
