EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
meet natasha
I'm all about capturing those unscripted, full-of-personality moments over prop filled posed images.
As a mom of three and a newborn photographer with 10+ years of experience, I know how to photograph you and your new addition in your perfect light.
Let’s get to preserving real-life moments of your growing family in the place you’re most comfortable – home.

Get to know Natasha
If you are looking for a lifestyle photographer I would search no more. Not only does Natasha take the MOST BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, but she is kind and understanding and great with kids. My 4-year old was having a terrible day, but Natasha was able to capture the most beautiful picture of her.

NPS Photography family Photos
Gallery
As your children grow, the special moments you loved capturing in photos as a new mom are comparatively few. But when’s the last time your entire family appeared in a portrait? (Yes, I’m talking to you, Mom-behind-the-iPhone!)
Let’s change the script in favor of an in-home session that’ll photograph all of the happiness (and all of the chaos) that comes along with having a growing family. I can’t wait to showcase what makes your family unique in imagery!

Black & white family images tell your story.
Emotion, connection and love.
Every NPS Photography family photo gallery will include some timeless, black & white images.

What if my house isn't professionally decorated?
Most of the houses I photograph in aren’t professionally decorated and it doesn’t make a bit of difference. I promise.
The focus is YOU, not your home.
I've even photographed families in homes with moving boxes everywhere!

What if it's raining or my child is sick?
Basically, I should be a meteorologist! All joking aside, I watch the weather closely and will be in-touch if I think we need to reschedule.
Sessions are rescheduled if there is inclement weather - rain or heavy, dense clouds.
Sick child? By all means let's reschedule!
Just reach out to me.

Do you only do sessions in people's homes?
I do! And there are so many reasons why an in-home session is BEST!
It's where you and your family are most comfortable. You have everything you need for a perfect session - snacks, extra clothes, etc.
And you don't have to go anywhere!
I can take pictures on a porch or yard if the light cooperates.

Is it possible to only get the digital images?
Collections are a wonderful combination of digitals with a product credit.
I know you want digital images to share on social media and with family and friends, but the magic is having tangible products from your session to enjoy for years to come.
You don't have to use your product credit, but it's baked into my collections and a discount is not available.

What if my kids misbehave?
I'll be honest, they might. They are kids and kids have meltdowns and don't listen and sometimes misbehave, but it's NO BIG DEAL!
I'm a mom of three and a former elementary school teacher, so leave handling the kids up to me! I have lots of tricks and games to keep things fun and your job? To laugh and smile and love on your kids throughout the session. Just let your kids be kids!
A word of advice – skip the bribes. I know it seems like a good idea, but it usually fails.

Any tips for preparing for our session?
YES!
- get up EARLY and take your time getting ready (yes, mom, I'm talking to you!)
- turn electronics off at least 30 minutes before the session (this goes for you, too, mom and dad!)
- turn on some of your favorite music
- turn off all the lights and open the blinds
