📸 Meet Nadia, Our Holiday Celebration Photographer✨✨✨
Here are some highlights from our Q&A with Nadia from Midwest Moments Photography are so grateful to feature her heart, her story, and her artistry. 💕✨
1. 📸 What first inspired you to pick up a camera?
“I actually picked up my first camera in high school after being forced to take a photography class. I wasn’t even interested—in fact, I had no choice since I needed an elective to graduate. But the moment I took a few pictures for an assignment, I was HOOKED. Something clicked. In that moment, I knew this was what I wanted to do with my life. That was 14 years ago.”
2. 🎨 What types of photos make you feel the most alive when you shoot them?
“Family sessions. I love capturing families with their loved ones in those special moments that moms are often not included in. I make sure mom is in as many photos as possible so she can see the beauty of the family she created—how important she is and how loved she is. As moms, we’re usually the ones behind the camera, so I try to make every family session as perfect and meaningful as possible.”
3. ❤️ Why is it important for you to capture family moments or special occasions?
“Oftentimes, photos are the last thing we have of our loved ones. Photography is a way to hold onto a memory and relive those special moments again and again.”
🍃 Her Process & Approach
4. How do you help people feel comfortable during a photoshoot?
“If you’ve ever done a shoot with me, you know I’ll be your biggest hype person! I’ll tell you how good you look, how good the image is turning out, and I get genuinely excited. I’ll even show you the photos mid-session—‘Omg, this looks SO good!’ is something I catch myself saying all the time. I just can’t help it!”
