I am crazy about my 2 daughters, my husband, dessert, going for bike rides, more dessert, interior design, traveling to new places, vintage cameras, chocolate chip cookies (they are their own category of dessert), hiking, snorkling, God, family, and friends. ...and we can't forget lazy Sunday's with spoons.

"Natalie is the best out there. My husband and I had two ceremonies (one elopement and a traditional family ceremony), and I loved her work so much that i had her do both. she actually traveled to our elopement destination to shoot our first ceremony in England, and I could have not been more excited and pleased with the results. They were magazine like pictures and we still look at them every day. "

" I'm not sure if my husband and I could be more obsessed with two people! We love the Brays! Natalie has helped SO SO SO much in the 2 years of planning for us by doing our engagement shoot and shooting our wedding and seriously being almost another bridesmaid (thanks girl!). She has such a knack for the romantic/sweet/candid photos you would yearn for from a magazine. She knows how to play with light and color and make you look your best. Parker is HILARIOUS and helps bring the smiles out! we could not be more excited! Thank you both for making our wedding the blast that it was! We love you guys!"

Natalie was absolutely amazing! The way she captures natural light is beautiful, which was what really drew me to her and after speaking with her I knew she was the right fit for us. She is absolutely a gem to work with, so kind and patient and really makes you feel at ease which makes for beautiful photos. She captured the moments perfectly without making the picture feel staged or unnatural. There were a couple of surprise photos she captured of us where I had no idea she was even in the area and are so spontaneous they are some of my favorite. I could not recommend her enough.

"The only way to describe Natalie's photography is stunning. Natalie has been a part of every major occasion in my family's life- she did our engagement photography, wedding photography, took the newborn photos when my first daughter was born and just recently did a family session after my second daughter was born. She is a truly an artist behind the lens! The moments that she captures are amazing- she has the ability to capture both the perfect lighting and the perfect moment! We wouldn't count on anyone else for the most important moments- Natalie is truly one of a kind!!" Mandi and Kirk
