About Us

About Us

Nauvoo Portrait Studio has been helping clients capture their special moments since 2004. We are a small town studio that strongly believes that our clients deserve quality service at affordable rates. We take our time here at the bend of the river to make sure that our clients end the day fully satisfied. One way we ensure their satisfaction is to clear the day of their shoot exclusively for them. Therefore, we only schedule one photo shoot a day, which is why we use the deposit system to hold their special day. If Nauvoo is able to cast a spell over our clients, inviting them to linger and enjoy the peace and tranquility a while longer, we are able to serve them for any additional time they desire without difficulty. Nauvoo has so many beautiful areas and vistas that truly only need to be seen to become favorites. So if, once they are here, our clients wish to add an hour or so to their shoot in order to capture more of the beauty of the area, our studio is still available to serve them.

We absolutely loved what Denise did for our engagement photos. We loved them so much that we have asked her for her services for our wedding. She has been absolutely fantastic in helping us come up with ideas when we are stuck and really working to make us the happiest customers. She is always helpful and polite. Our pictures were totally up to us. She never posed us, which is great! It really makes the pictures look fantastic. We love her and will use her studio for every event in the future. Thank you for all of your great work.

--Breana from IA

Nauvoo Portrait Studios is my first choice for photography. The photographer is polite, courteous, considerate, willing to work around my schedule, and takes fantastic pictures. No longer do I need to put up with cranky, contentious photographers, or shoddy sub-par work in order to have photographs taken of me or my loved ones. Not now that I have Nauvoo Portrait Studios. I had become used to disliking photographs taken of me, but the photographer for Nauvoo Portrait Studios has changed my mind about that. Rare is the photographer that is willing to take into consideration the perspective of the people they are taking pictures of. The photographer for Nauvoo Portrait Studios is an exception. Knowing that I have input in the shots as much as the photographer makes every shoot an adventure and not an ordeal. Photography is more than just a profession, it's an artform. I was pleased to discover that Nauvoo Portrait Studios appreciates this truth as much as I do.

--James from IL

Thank you for taking our pictures for us! That was the most relaxed experience of that kind that I've ever had and I appreciate that.
