I'm so glad you're here, welcome, my name is Natalie!
I am a boutique photographer specializing in kids, family, senior 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, with my attention to detail, creative eye it's the perfect blend in creating beautiful moments behind my lens as well as decorating your walls with art work that will always be treasured.
This is a full service service boutique experience that is a step by step process to help guide you and most of all to serve YOU!
I used to be the digital file photographer, spend hours editing and sending off digital albums, either files get lost, forgotten or the choice of choosing which photo to print gets overwhelming and no photo gets printed, framed or placed on your walls. I wanted more for my clients and to offer better services that is of higher quality, value and most of all beautiful wall art you get to see on your walls everyday as a reminder of your family and loved ones, which should always be celebrated. 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, to add to the missing pieces of your furniture, filling your walls with beautiful wall art.
That is what I want for YOU and your family, reminders to be passed on for generations, it's a gift!
Warmly, Natalie
Below is guided step by step process when working with me.
1
Phone Consultation
We have our first phone call, I get to know a little more about you, your family and share my passion and why I do what I do, after we both agree we're a good fit, we move on to the in person consultation.
2
In person consultation
We meetup up, ideally in the comfort of your own home or where suits you best. We talk about your session, begin the planning process, wardrobe etc. and take a look at the layout of your walls for how we plan your session for artwork displays. If this can't be done during our consultation at your home, we will meet elsewhere but have you complete a few steps to help me see your wall space thorugh a video/photos you send me. This makes planning for wall art pieces easier once we get to the selection process before printing. It's important to create a visual of where these pieces can be hung. I go over the price list of my different wall art pieces and albums to plan your session until selection day.
