HI, I AM REENA GIOLA.

My name is pronounced Ree-nah Gee-o-La . :)

RGP opened in June 2010 with their first client, a family of six.

Since then, Reena Giola Photography has been producing exceptional image quality which are outstanding in print as well as on the web.

A little about me: I am a mom of three (two boys and a girl). We have lived in Arizona since 2004 and have lived in Vail since 2005.

We have 8 furbabies - 5 Australian Shepherds, 1 German Shepherd and 2 kitties.

My oldest is in the Navy :) married to a wonderful young lady and they have a beautiful baby boy.  My middle boy has graduated from the U of A and is adulting in Phoenix  and my youngest and only girl, is a junior  at the University of Arizona.

I am very shy, a people pleaser and have a warped sense of humor. I am sensitive and get my feelings hurt easily. I am NOT pushy or a sales person. I love being a mom, it has been the most fulfilling job I have ever done. It is bittersweet – I am happy that i have raised such awesome kids into compassionate kind hearted adults yet it is sad that they are  all grown up.

My philosophy about photography: I am invested in your session with my heart and soul. Photography and your session isn’t just a job to me…I love what I do and I want you to love your images.

My goal as your photographer is to make sure that not only do you love your images but that you had a fun session with me. I want you to print your images, to have a beautiful piece of ART grace your walls or a fun photo album to look through. We live in a digital world now but we have to remember that it is just as important to have a tangible memory also.

Some of my favorites:

Color: purple – the colors of sunset (orange and pink)
Animals: dogs, horses, cats, hummingbirds and sea turtles
Drink: iced tea
Mystical Creatures: dragons/mermaids
Time of Day: sunsets/sunrises
Place to visti: Hawaii – the islands are my place to be…I would love to live there. I am an island girl at heart.
