Yay!  Molly and her Mommy came in to the studio today for Molly’s 3 month shots for the PBN Coo Club!  Molly has grown so much since her newborn pictures, and is just as sweet as sugar.  She’s smiley and giggly and likes to tell stories!  I can hardly wait for her 6 month session!  Here are some sneak peeks for Mommy and Daddy:

Surprise! October 26, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — portraitsbynatalie @ 4:33 am

Kelly hired me on Saturday night to photograph the surprise birthday party she was hosting for her mom.  It was held at the George Washington hotel.  Everything was beautiful, the food was wonderful, it was such a special evening.  Joan was so excited she couldn’t even speak! Kelly made these amazing carmel and chocolate covered apples for favors… let me tell you…. YUM!  Kelly’s family is so wonderful, and moments like these are truly precious.  I’m so happy and honored that she had me come to photograph this truly wonderful occasion.  Happy Birthday Joan!!

I was able to sneak in a session tonight before the sun went down on this beautiful day.  The Brown family came to do their Fall Foliage pics with me.  I adore Dominic and Delaney, and the kids were so good during our rushed session.  Look at these faces….  how cute are they???

Fall Sneak Peeks! October 12, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — portraitsbynatalie @ 5:39 am

The 2009 Fall Foliage Sessions went really well yesterday.  We did have to compete with some mud and general yuckiness from the rains the day before, but all went well!  Sadly, we had to cancel all of the Saturday sessions because of the ugly early morning weather.  No fear– we will get them done this coming weekend!  Until then, here are some “Sneak Peeks” for Sunday’s sessions!  Enjoy! 

 

First, we have the Miner family, and I have to tell you this:  Laurel KNITS all of their sweaters every year.  They were AMAZING and I am blown away by her talent!  You would have thought she paid big money at a high end boutique for these sweaters!

*Seniors* September 28, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — portraitsbynatalie @ 2:49 am

I was so lucky to be able to shoot two Senior Sessions for two girls that are very dear to me.  I wanted to share their Sneak Peeks with you:

First, we have Peyton. Some of you may have seen Peyton around the studio over the summer. She was an ‘intern’ to me.  Peyton is a senior at Beth Center High School and will be going into Business Photography after graduation.  She has won several photography-related awards and was accepted to the Govenor’s Schoool for her photography submissions.  Her parents are very proud of her (as am I)  and I wish her nothing but the very best in the future.  Here is Peyton:

Next up is Cassie.  I have known Cassie for the last seven years, when her family moved in next door.  I have watched her grow from a little kid to a beautiful, poised young woman. Cassie is a senior at Canon McMillan High School where you can usually find her on the volleyball court!  We had so much fun with her shoot!  I hope you enjoy the Sneak Peeks:
