Have you noticed the beautiful photography in our Have you noticed the beautiful photography in our marketing materials? While our social media photos are a mix of in-house and professional shots, almost ALL of the photographs we use for our branded images and advertising are the work of our Business Sponsor, Rene Treece at @luxehousephotographic. 

In addition to family and children’s photography, Rene also specializes in branding sessions that highlight the essence of a person’s craft or business. These sessions are designed to tell authentic stories of artists, makers, and healers, giving them visual tools to share their work with the world. Across both family portraiture and branding photography, Rene's guiding principle is the same: to honor people and their stories in a way that is soulful, genuine, and lasting.

We recently invited Rene back to campus for another branding photo shoot and we look forward to sharing those images with you soon!
