Branding photos by Nayronie Minier

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been the one with a camera in hand capturing the moments that become the memories we return to again and again. What started as a simple love for preserving time has become my creative outlet, a way to honor the beauty in both the big milestones and the everyday moments.

about me

By day, I am an educator working with students and their higher education journeys. By heart, I’m a photographer who finds deep joy in connecting with people and telling their stories.

I specialize in documenting weddings and couples — and work with brands as well.

I live in New Jersey with my husband and our two cats Leo and Wednesday.

Test

digital + film photography offered

Two black and red 35mm film strips interwoven with each other, isolated on black background.

For me, film photography feels like opening a gift.

You don’t see the image right away, so there’s this beautiful anticipation in waiting to discover what you’ve captured. Each frame is intentional, each moment is chosen with care.

When I work with clients, I aim to bring that same intentionality, creating photographs that feel both deeply personal and beautifully unexpected.
