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, even though I didn’t pursue it seriously at first. Growing up, I was surrounded by photography—my father was a family photographer, and I spent countless hours playing with camera equipment and developing film in the darkroom. Our home was filled with photo albums, reflecting a deep family love for art and visual storytelling.

As I navigate life, my camera is always with me, capturing family gatherings, breathtaking landscapes, and delicate natural details. Six years ago, I chose to turn this lifelong passion into a professional business.

Originally from a small town in Kazakhstan near the Russian border, I moved to the United States 12 years ago with my nine-year-old daughter, who has since graduated from college and now works in government. My daughter—and my little Shih Tzu puppy—are my greatest supporters, often joining me on visits to local farms where inspiration, connection, and new stories unfold.

​

Through the meeting of landscapes and portraiture, my work has grown into a distinctive artistic expression, now evolving fully into Fine Art photography. While my focus is shifting, portrait sessions are still available upon request—please contact me for booking details, as availability depends on my schedule.
