Hey, I'm Nina Renaud!

Hi, I'm a French-American photographer in Iowa City with a love for capturing moments through my lens.


When I first started photography, I was a 14-year-old with my grandma's camera. Over the years, I've built connections with many clients and photographers. It has been amazing to learn how to freeze and capture the fleeting emotions and moments that tend to go unnoticed every day. I strive to give you long-lasting memories you can put in a frame or use as your phone wallpaper. For me, there's something so special about seeing memories with your people or fluffy friends. A glance can bring back a laugh with your best friend, a hug from a loved one, or a game-winning goal.


Through my lens, I've learned how precious some moments can be.  In high school years, both students like me and parents go through anticipatory grief, missing a good moment when you're still in it. That's why I want to be there for you so you can always look back on that fond memory.  I believe in creating a relaxed and fun experience for everyone I work with, from shy toddlers to an energetic puppy. I want you to walk away with meaningful memories attached to our session!


Just like in one of the pictures, I would go to great lengths to get the perfect shot. Even in water, haha:) For me, though, that shot isn't always technically perfect. This is one thing that made me fall in love with photographing people and places. Some of my favorite pictures are filled with emotion and humanness, which really brings them to life. This is my goal every time I go out with my camera: to capture moments with feeling and love. My goal is to create that together and make moments you'll be able to hang in your living room.
