Your family has a story to tell. It might include cozy evenings around the dinner table. Or outdoor, forest adventures. Or the arrival of a baby sister.
I’m here to capture the memories you never want to forget— the simple ones that go too quickly. Photos that, in twenty years, will take you right back home.
Hey there~
A NEWBORN, MATERNITY, AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER IN PORTLAND, OREGON.
Usually, couples come to me when they’re looking for a wedding photographer. And then fate leads us on a journey to continue working together through pregnancy, birth, and family milestones!
I appreciate the simple things in life, which is probably why my style leans towards honest and heartfelt images. Children gain self-confidence seeing photos of themselves, and photos take us all back to a time and place and remind us that we’re loved.
“Natalie is an amazing photographer. This is the second year she’s done our family photos and they turned out beautiful both times! She was able to capture sweet candid family moments as well as lovely portraits, and she also made the experience fun.” -ani

Maybe it’s the way you pile onto the couch on Sunday mornings.

“I didn’t think I wanted maternity photos, but Natalie told me we could do something simple and lowkey. I’m so grateful to have these memories preserved forever. My body went through radical change, and seeing these photos reminds me of how proud I am of myself, my body, and my daughter.” -shanna
