  • Hi There !

    Welcome to the home of Rene Skrodzki Photography.

    I hope this website is able to answer all your questions about what I do and who I am.

    The colored tabs on the left side of this site are some additional features. Hover over one and it will slide out. Pretty nifty.

The Big Birthday Bash ~Kitchener Event Photography

Throughout history we have always looked at the deeds of great men.  We know all about the exploits of Alexander the Great , we have all heard of the teachings of Aristotle or the travels of Columbus.   However history almost never records the great achievements of people like Doug.

In our fast paced world we almost hardly seem to have time to spend together.  On this occasion there was a chance to celebrate Doug’s 80th birthday.  80 years and still running to a shed to grab a pitchfork for a light hearted shot.  That is quite a feat.

This was a unique chance for me to record a little bit of the history of Doug’s family and friends.  I was truly inspired to see the level of youth, fun, and camaraderie on this day.  Perhaps when we are all but dust some future archeologist will find this story and be able to say that we loved, respected and had a blast no matter what the age.

Nevaeh on Earth ~ Kitchener Newborn Baby Photography

Love is one the strongest emotions you can feel.  The love between a mother and new daughter is perhaps one of the most beautiful expressions of love human beings can experience.

When I shot this session I was going to recreate images that I have been exposed to by other baby photographers.  However newborns being unpredictable allowed me to move away from that idea and truly look deeper into the bond between mother and newborn.

I learned a great deal about preconceived notions of what a baby shoot should be.  I also truly enjoyed the opportunity to capture this special time in the lives of some amazing people.

Life is precious, a new life is a miracle.  Having memories of this time, priceless.

Static images could not convey the beauty of this shoot in a way that I seen it unfold.  So I present this slideshow to share with you all.

Shhh …. Baby Sleeping ~ Kitchener Baby Photography Teaser

A little while back I had the oppurtunity to shoot a maternity session for an awesome family.  Well finally the baby arrived and mom was only to eager to have me come out and photograph her baby.

I was so excited about doing the session and after I grabbed this image I almost ran home to post it.  I did manage to contain myself and do a few more images LOL.

Anyhow this one that I really liked from the session.  I will post more once I finish working with the images soon.

Sherri + Paul ~ Wedding Celebration Event

Every now and again I shoot something completely different.   This time I shot a wedding celebration.  This was an informal gathering of Sherri and Pauls friends and family in thier backyard in Cambridge.

Before that however I asked them to get into there wedding clothes so I could shoot some formals since I could not attend the wedding.  It was in Mexico and I could not make it.  Shame too, because I would have killed to have shot them there.

So we asked the bridal party to come out to Riverside park and shoot some quick shots.  Nothing too formal.

Then a carnival broke out …. well it was there anyhow.  So Sherri wanted to shoot a few shots on the Merry Go Round and we convinced the staff there to let her do a ball toss game.

Since I am part of the family I shot this as a gift to them.  I really had some fun with the images and hope I gave them a gift that they cherish forever.

Thanks guys for doing this for me,  I had a blast.  Luv Ya.

Lori Lafond - Looks like a whole lotta love goin’ round especially with the image of the bride & groom by the carousel. It is refreshing to see wedding party photos that are carefree and full of laughter as opposed to posed for perfection.

Jerry Lafond - WOW…unbelievable images Rene. Absolutely beautiful pictures.
Nice to see some old familiar faces and also new additions.
Truly something to cherish forever.

Marylin + Jerry ~ Couple Photography Teasers

Age.  Sometimes age allows us to relax, be ourselves and let our hair down a little.

I shot Marylin and Jerry the other day and I must say it went much better than the first time I shot Jerry.   Last time he was a tad formal.  Shirt tie, suit jacket, no socks …. all the things that make you say traditional and formal.

This time Jerry loosened up with Marylin and I must say I like these images much more.   For no other reason than it was much more relaxed.

We went out to Saginaw Golf Course and shot a few images.  Right until the rain came.  Of course now I have to go out another time with them and finish this session, but I like the images we got so far so I thought I would post a few.

I apologize for making you come back in the rain to help explain how my golf cart worked.  If you had not I might still be out there going Hmmmm.   LOL.
