“Natalie was wonderful to work with. She is very friendly, great with kids and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We all had a great time and I am extremely happy with the entire experience. She is great at what she does and pays close attention to detail during the shoot and with her editing. There wasn’t a single photo I did not like in my gallery. I am so happy I came in contact with Natalie and pleased she was able to take our holiday photos because she went above and beyond our expectations. I look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“We did family photos and Natalie was amazing. Friendly, easy to work with, great with kids! She grabbed my son's attention and kept him smiling. We loved her efficiency and that is everything with kids. Natalie captured us perfectly and we can’t wait to get some of these photos up in the house. We would highly recommend Natalie and we will definitely be working with her in the future!”

“We had Natalie take our pregnancy announcement / annual pictures & I have never been so speechless about pictures. I showed Natalie my Pinterest vision board for the session & she made it all come to life & went above & beyond. The quality of the pictures, she captured our true excitement, love & was so quick with editing! She is a gifted photographer & has so much passion for creating magic. Trust her with all my photo needs! You won’t regret it!”

I don't have all of the answers, but these ones might be helpful
With families I keep in mind that efficiency is key, especially when it comes to keeping little ones engaged. So, my photographic style accommodates all attention spans with plenty of interactive prompts and light direction.
Yes! As someone with their own adorably fluffy friends, I know how important pets are to families. Please, bring your dog — or cat if your feline is the outgoing type — and we’ll capture the whole family.
