A little about Joie de Nic…
What began as a desire for modeling headshots became a lifelong passion for the art of photography. For more than a decade, I have worked behind the camera and at times in front of it. Based near Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, my unique experience has prepared me to serve individuals, families, couples, and small businesses through lifestyle portrait photography of real moments. My work is always infused with integrity, artistry, and care. I welcome and celebrate the beauty and diversity of all people.
