Meet the Photographer!
Hey, my name is Nina Renaud
Based in Iowa City, I'm a photographer who captures the quiet and bold moments you'll cherish for years to come! I specialize in portraits and sports photography. From families to senior portraits, making you feel confident and yourself is so important. I love finding beauty in little "behind the scenes" moments such as quiet laughter and hugs as much as bold, astonishing posed portraits. Feel free to send a message or question through the contact section; let's connect!
Why work with me? I believe your photos should feel like you. My sessions are relaxed and authentic, guided when needed, and focused on capturing your personality before adding perfect posing. Throughout my life, I've found that my favorite photos are candids with the people I love. Maybe my hair's not perfectly in place, or my smile is a little too bright, but when I look at that photo, I can still feel it. By doing so, I create a stress-free and fun environment that makes the photo experience memorable as well. This is my favorite addition I'll add to the photoshoots by mixing posed and candids to create a polished and heartfelt blend:)
"“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” "
Andy Warhol
Testimonials
"We loved working with Nina! She is warm, relaxed, great with children, and our photos turned out beautifully! She came prepared with ideas for staging photos that looked natural and fun, while also offering plenty of space to let our family’s personality shine through. She is also extremely responsive, professional, and timely, and we look forward to working with her again next year. Thanks, Nina!!"

Testimonials
"It was really fun and great. I thought the edits were really well done and had so much fun during the photoshoot. I like that she took photos when we weren't ready for it since it made the best candids." - Macy
