What To Expect…

  • storytelling… I can help direct you a little bit but these moments are your own. These are in action – real life – photographs of you making memories.
  • an inclusive, loving, and no judgment environment so you can feel safe to be yourselves with me
  • i focus on the in-between moments and every little aspect of your experience, it isn’t about looking at the camera. When it is, it’s genuine happiness and not forced.
  • a candid and documentary approach so that everyone’s unique personality shines
  • your session won’t feel like a photoshoot… it’s more like an adventure with a family member who always has their camera and is actually good at using it
  • location assistance with permit information etc
  • hand editing in bold and true-to-life colors so each memory pops just like the beautiful location you explored
  • fully edited sneak peeks within 72 hours for every all-inclusive digital image collection
  • for limited image collections, you will receive a lightly edited proofing gallery within 7 days where you get to choose your images that I will fully edit and deliver – you can also decide to upgrade to the full gallery at this point

Reviews From Other Families

“Natalie is a breath of fresh air! So down to earth and easy to talk to! From start to finish, Natalie communicated with me and my daughter about our needs. It can be super intimidating to get in front of someone with a camera and try to act natural, but she made us all so comfortable and at ease with the whole process. Will be using her and her alone for all my future photos.”

“Natalie is a fantastic photographer, we absolutely love the pictures she took for our wedding several years ago, and just recently did a maternity photo shoot with her. She is extremely personable and friendly, works with you to get the kinds of pictures you want, and the outcome is always stunning. We definitely plan to hire her again in the future!”

“Ever tried to take pictures of two small kids and a wild and crazy dog? It’s impossible for everyone but Nat! She somehow manages to get the biggest smiles and giggles even when your 2 year old face plants in the first 5 minutes of the photo shoot! We have used Nat for our family photos for 3 years now and every time she sends me over those “sneak peaks” I can’t help but shed a few tears. She’s able to capture our kids’ personalities perfectly every time and our kids (and dog) absolutely love her! I’m forever grateful to Nat for giving me pictures I will cherish for a lifetime!”

“We hired Nat to capture some family photos and the entire experience was wonderful! She had great communication, was flexible with her availability, and was able to get so many adorable shots of our three year-old (which is not easy to do these days!). We received our “sneak peak” photos the same day as our shoot and she sent us a TON of photos later on. We really loved the natural approach she took in capturing our family, rather than having us in stiff poses, as that was exactly what we were looking for.
We will definitely be hiring her again for future family photos and would recommend her if you are looking for a lovely and talented individual to work with!”

“Natalie is not only an amazing photographer, but also an incredible human being! Natalie is professional, responsive, flexible, and just down right perfect. She assisted me with all of my needs for the shoot and was prepared down to every last detail. She is so fun and easy to work with and communicated everything that was expected before, during, and after. I cannot recommend Natalie enough. The images she captured are something that my husband and I will have to last a lifetime, all thanks to her. Amazing quality and amazing service, Natalie is truly one of kind!”

My Photography Style
How I edit your photos…

My editing style is true to life, clean, colorful,and bold! I love a good contrasty & timeless black and white. It’s always fun to work in different environments and be able to play with cool photography techniques.

What I’m like on your family adventure…

I’m a fun, laid-back, and candid photographer (human). Sometimes I’m slow to start taking photos until everyone gets more comfortable with me. I feel the vibe and start getting to know the kiddos to let the fun begin. The parents and other family can help by joining in our conversation and activities. Sessions are super adventurous as we walk and talk, letting the little ones feel free to explore. It’s more about your experience as a family than it is about the photos!

The Planning Part
Location scouting & local activity ideas

I learn about your adventure background and capabilities. I send a list of locations and local activities that fit your family and wanted activities or area you’re staying.

Logistics, gear packing lists & safety..

Being prepared and ready to roll with the punches is integral to the good times! That’s why I help you with logistics with everything from mountain travel to safety. I send gear packing lists along to ensure you have everything you might need. You have my unlimited expert guidance!

Getting Your Photos

How do you receive your photos?

You receive your full-resolution, edited digital image files in a beautiful online gallery. You have rights to printing for personal use. When you click the gallery link, it prompts you to create a password. Just be sure to write this password down and store it for safekeeping so you can continue to access your gallery.

From there you can download and purchase prints from a professional printing company that you have a 15% discount at. You’ll see your discount code displayed in your gallery!

Can you share your gallery?

Yes! You can share your gallery by copying the link in the bottom of your gallery delivery email.

Where can you back up your images at?

I highly suggest you download your full-resolution image and back them up. You will have the option to pay for cloud backup through your gallery. If you have Amazon Prime you already have unlimited photo storage for all of your full-resolution images. Just log in to Amazon Prime Photos and drag and drop in the digital photos that you downloaded to your computer. Extra tip* Amazon Prime Photos also has an app that will automatically back up all of your images on your phone. You also get 5 GB of video storage for free as well. 😉

I work with families across Colorado and beyond to document their genuine, real stories with images that display their true spirits and lifestyle. With very little posing and only prompting when necessary, I allow families to interact naturally with each other and their environment. My sessions are rooted in the experience coming first and photos second. Let’s just have some fun and see what we can get up to!
