Maternity Photography

Capturing baby bellies is one of my favorite kinds of sessions. It’s truly an honor that I get to work with clients from bumps all the way to babies! I love capturing this chapter of your life in front of a whimsical California backdrop, where we can let the golden light tell your story.

Newborn + Baby Photography

At the core of my photography, lies my love for minimalism. I incorporate neutral & earth tones with lots of textures. I’ve always loved capturing newborns & babies in their most pure & organic state. Over the years, I have perfected the art of letting your baby’s subtle details steal the show.

Family Photography

Family sessions have really stolen my heart. I have found so much joy in photographing each family in a way that feels purely & authentically like themselves. Save the “cheeses” for the wine bottle you saved for after your session, & be prepared for lots of giggles & snuggles!

 

 
 

Hi y’all! I’m Nat!

My full name’s Natalie, but pleaaaase call me Nat— anything else feels too formal. I’ve been doing newborn & baby photography for coming up on 6 years now. Holy crap.. my grandpa was right. “The older you get, the faster time goes,” he’d say. If I’m being honest, I’ve always looked for a way to express myself creatively, and photography has always been my favorite way to put pen to paper, so to say.

My favorite sessions are maternity/family sessions at the beach, but newborns come in for a close second! I used to feel like I had to fit in a particular “photography style” at the beginning of starting my business, but I’ve found so much fulfillment in capturing families in a style that feels authentic to me, and what I have to offer as an artist. I have found a passion in letting each family tell their story within the session. Every session is uniquely theirs, & having the pleasure of telling it throughout my images, has really brought me so much joy.
