I'm so glad you're here, welcome, my name is Natalie!
Let me share about what I do and why I love to do what I do.
I am a boutique photographer specializing in kids and family portraits, creating photographic artwork to decorate your home. I am a Mom of two beautiful boys and have lived in 3 different countries, born and raised in South Africa, moved to the Netherlands and Oregon is my home. I have a background in Fashion Design and have been doing photography for more than ten years and my attention to detail and my creative eye is what will make the walls of your home feel special filled with beautiful wall portraits of you and your family.
This is a full service service boutique experience where I get to know a little more about you and your family, ask a few questions to an in person consultation where we discuss more about how your session will work and where we can visualize hanging these beautiful wall portraits in your home. Each portrait is uniquely created for each person and family, I help guide you with the selections of your wall art ready for ordering onto canvas, framed artwork and or albums.
I used to be the digital file photographer, the shoot and burn photographer, and these files fill up your storage, get lost and often forgotten. I find clients get overwhelmed by their digitals and which to choose for printing and often not always guaranteed how the quality of the prints will come out of the lab of their choosing for printing. What makes me so unique as a boutique photographer is what I offer in helping to serve my clients. From my digital experience I wanted to offer better services that is of higher quality, value and most of all beautiful wall art they get to see on their walls everyday as a reminder of their family and loved ones which should always be celebrated, each moment is a gift. Kids and family go through so many milestones, each one has their own personality as well as each family, this is why I love to capture these moments. This is why I have made it my mission to ensure your portraits don't stay on a computer or your phone, but get hung on your walls adding to the missing pieces of your furniture and filling your walls with art portraits, and or paging through an album. That is what I want for YOU and your family.
These will be safe keep reminders that can be passed on from generation to generation.
Warmly, Natalie
