ABOUT NATASHA
It all started when I was a kid myself & loved taking care of babies. I actually thought getting to give a baby a bottle and change a diaper was a privilege! Gag, right? Needless to say, moms loved having me around. I discovered the camera as a teenager & it was love at first sight! I mean, there’s a small little black box that you can push a button on & it freezes a moment forever. It captures life. It paints with light. How could I not be in love?! I started taking photography classes in high school, became the yearbook photographer & got nicknamed “paparazzi” by all of my friends. I took pictures of everything! Especially my baby sister who was born when I was 17! When I got to college, I was excited about my decision to study Psychology with an emphasis in Child Development. I was a preschool teacher while studying &, believe it or not, that’s when the magic happened. One morning, my student’s mama said to me, “your photography is beautiful & the kids already feel comfortable with you… why don’t you come over & take some family pics of us?” And just like that, word spread and everyone around was asking me to capture their family’s love on film.
Here we are more than 10 years later! My heart is so full. I could not feel more lucky that I get to combine my two passions & do what I truly love everyday. Thank you to everyone who has supported my artwork! I promise to continue to push myself creatively & grow as an artist so that I can capture the love in your family in the most artful ways.
