Studio Portraits & Headshots in Berkeley, CA
Professional images that actually feel like you ❋ made in a warm, light-filled artist studio in the heart of the East Bay.
A real artist’s space
Tucked inside an artist building near downtown Berkeley, the studio has the feel of a place where real creative work happens. Think skylights, beautiful natural light, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that's more art studio than sterile white box.
Professional lighting is always available when we need it — but honestly, the natural light in this space is pretty special on its own. It's the kind of room where people tend to exhale when they walk in.
You’ll forget to be nervous
A lot of people tell me they're not good at being photographed. By the end of the session, they've forgotten they ever felt that way.
My approach is relaxed, collaborative, and genuinely fun. I'll guide you through it, we'll find your light, and I'll keep shooting until we get the frames that feel right. No rush, no pressure — just good energy and a photographer who really loves what she does.
“Nina put me at ease immediately which allowed the photos to reach a depth of true connection!”
