SCROLL TO BEGIN
For over 20 years, I've created timeless heirloom portraits in Bend, Oregon that preserve the fleeting seasons of motherhood, from pregnancy through your children's senior year.
I help mothers remember how deeply they loved
and how beautifully they showed up.
Brand portraits that feel authentic and professional—not stiff or corporate.
From individual headshots to full image libraries, every session is crafted to reflect the heart of your brand.
BRANDING
Senior portraits that celebrate who they've become before they leave home.
These aren't just graduation photos—they're the last chapter of childhood.
SENIORS
Maternity and newborn portraits in Bend, including the Motherhood Membership that documents pregnancy through baby's first year.
This season passes quickly—these portraits help you hold on with heirloom artwork designed to last for generations
MOTHERHOOD
FAMILIES
Family portraits that capture the people you love most, exactly as you are right now—before everyone grows and changes.
A guided, stress‑free experience designed to help you feel supported from start to finish
Heirloom Artwork You'll Treasure
These aren't files you'll scroll past. They're albums you'll pull off the shelf, prints you'll see every morning, memories you can touch.
I'M Natalie
I've been photographing families in Central Oregon for over 20 years, and what hasn't changed is this: I love helping you remember each stage and how deeply you loved through all of them. My work is about heirloom albums and framed gallery walls—not files on a hard drive, but artwork you see every day as your family grows.
