Hi, I'm Raina Brewer.

I'll start with my uncontrollable addiction to coffee. No, seriously, I wouldn't ever get anything done without it. Then there's my dog Bongo, whom I cherish as I would my own child. Apart from my two obsessions, you'll find that I'm an expressive and intentional individual all-around.

As an artist, I have a deep love for old things and traditions. And I'm probably the most nostalgic person you'll ever meet. I believe that's why I love taking photos – you see to me, a photograph gives me something tangible to hold onto, connected to moments that I never want to forget.

I first became interested in photography while on a family vacation to California where we spent two-weeks hitting every beach from LA to San Diego. I stole my mom's camera and photographed the whole trip, realizing along the way that I had an eye for "diamond in the rough" moments. Now, a decade later, I get to call myself a photographer. A photographer of love, a photographer of laughter. A keeper of "moments."

I'm currently based in Minnesota. However, I love to travel and my biggest goal in life is to see as much of this world as possible! I've made my way around the United States, as well as the Middle East, and even spent a whole month in Egypt. And still, there are infinite places I want to explore! That being said, destination photoshoots are always up for discussion.

I am a current student at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, pursuing a Journalism BA and a Communications minor. I am well-versed in several Adobe Creative Suite programs such as Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, Premiere & Audition.

Prior to deciding to go into photography full-time, I served in the Army National Guard and worked in marketing and management in the hospitality and beauty industries.



I look forward to capturing the moments that speak to YOU.
