HI, I’M RENEE
How did a small town girl from Louisiana end up in LaLa Land?
When I say small town, I mean ONE traffic light kinda small town. I always knew I'd end up in a big city, so when I when I was 25, I dropped everything and moved to LA. Within two months, I met my now husband in a bar (as one does) & fast forward a few years, I'm a Mom of 3 with a killer photography business.
Turns out, you can't take the Southern out of the girl - even after 25 years of LA living.
You might hear my accent slip out if we're working together, but definitely if we're having a cocktail! I miss my gigantic Southern family a ton so we do try and get down there as much as we can, but I gotta say that LA has my heart. It's where I started my family - and my business.
After getting a BA in Psychology and then a certification in Massage Therapy, I found myself a Mom of three kids under the age of two (yep, twins) and the wife of an actor. Life was moving FAST and I had NO clue what I wanted to do outside of being a Mom. My oldest son has autism & didn't speak until he was five, so I became obsessed with taking photos of him ... trying to figure out what was going on inside his beautiful head. Little did I know, I was planting the seeds of a thriving photography business that would fulfill me, both financially and spiritually. And then, life would shift once again when I discovered how much I LOVE coaching.

Sometimes I feel like I've lived a thousand lives (and sometimes I still feel 25)
I fell into coaching and mentoring, just like I fell into photography. But I know that it was all part of a bigger plan because the universe has my back :) Once I figured out how much I LOVED coaching, I decided to become a certified life coach because I don't do anything halfway apparently. One certification led to another and pretty soon, I had a few (NLP, Hypnosis, Timeline Therapy, RRT, Braintraining, Neuro-encoding and whatever's next). I geek out on all things unconscious mind and how freakin powerful we are when we combine the science of the brain with the magic of who we truly are.
The DEETS
Take a peek into my life as a mom, wife & biz owner
There is so much out there that I still want to do and see! I adore California - it's what brought me to my husband and ultimately kids, but traveling is where I feel most alive. I've had the pleasure of working while traveling and being paid to travel which is pretty amazing, and I'm looking forward to getting more stamps on my passport soon!
What I'm
loving
Life in my 50's! Listen, I love being a mom, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't absolutely ADORE the freedom I have now that all of them are grown! And my cats. I looooove my cats.
What I'm
learning
Always diving into more trainings so I can be a better coach, parent and partner. This also looks like voraciously consuming podcasts as well; I have a slight obsession.
What I'm
not about
Mean girl mentality, hustle culture, cold plunges, cross-fit, pelaton, early mornings, rudeness, cheap wine, boring photos, drama.
what I
believe
That we all have the power to change our lives and that it all starts with how we FEEL. That our unconscious mind holds all the keys. That magic is everywhere.
ON MY VISION BOARD

If you're into moody portraits, 90's nostalgia, great wine, Taylor Swift, memes I find funny + probably way too many videos of my cats? You've come to the right place.
