ABOUT ME

I'm Anastassiya Radionova, a professional portrait photographer based in the Cedar Rapids, Marion, Des Moines, Iowa and surrounding areas, specializing in family, senior, engagement, maternity, and art photography. With a focus on natural light and artistic style, I strive to capture timeless images that reflect the unique personalities and essence of each event, often incorporating the beauty of the outdoors into my portrait photography.
My Story
Photography has always been my passion, although I never pursued it seriously. Growing up, I was surrounded by photography, as my dad was a family photographer. I spent countless hours playing with camera equipment and developing film in the darkroom. My family's love for art and photography was evident in our extensive collection of albums and beautiful photos.
​
As I navigate life, I always have my camera by my side to capture family gatherings, breathtaking landscapes, and beautiful flowers. However, it was only six years ago that I decided to pursue photography professionally, turning my passion into a business.
​
I combined my passions for landscape and portrait photography to create a unique product, which
can be seen in my portfolio.
​
I'm originally from Kazakhstan, a small town near the Russian border. I moved here 12 years ago with my 9-year-old daughter, who has since graduated from college and started a career in banking.
​
Both my daughter and my little shih tzu puppy are my biggest supporters, often accompanying me on visits to local farms, where we capture more landscape photos and meet new people.
