Nicole Harnois Photography

Welcome to Nicole Harnois Photography, where we believe in capturing the authentic moments that tell your unique story. Based in Northeast Iowa, I, Nicole Harnois, am the heart and soul behind this business. My passion lies in creating timeless images that you'll cherish for generations to come. I specialize in family, newborn, children, and branding photography, striving to create an experience that feels comfortable, natural, and filled with joy.

Since starting my photography journey in 2014, I've embraced the challenge and privilege of documenting life's precious milestones. My approach is centered around capturing candid moments of genuine connection. My goal isn't to pose families into stiff shots; instead, I want to tell their story through laughter, stolen glances, and playful interactions.

I understand that family photoshoots can be a little nerve-wracking, so I strive to create a relaxed and playful atmosphere. My easygoing nature and genuine connection with my clients help them feel at ease, allowing their true personalities to shine through.

Behind the Lens

My journey into photography began as a licensed hairstylist for many years. This experience instilled in me a deep appreciation for the transformative power of visual storytelling. It wasn't just about the cut or the color, but about highlighting the unique beauty of each individual. That same passion translates seamlessly into my photography, where I strive to capture the essence of each person and the relationships that bind them.

Andrew, my supportive husband and partner, and I make a fantastic team. He ensures the smooth operation of the business, taking on the role of "general secretary" with gusto. We complement each other perfectly, drawing upon our individual strengths to deliver exceptional service and stunning photographs.
