About Natalie Stephenson | Award-Winning Bend Family Photographer

I'm Natalie

I'm a wife and a mother to grown boys, which means I know firsthand how fast these seasons pass. The images on my walls—portraits that capture our relationship through the years—are some of my most treasured possessions. They help me remember not just what we looked like, but how much I loved them at every stage. Now, here in Central Oregon, I bring that same heart into the families I photograph.

After 20 years of photographing families, I understand what mothers are really looking for. It's not just pretty pictures—it's the reassurance that these fleeting moments will be preserved. It's knowing that even as your children grow and change, you'll always be able to remember exactly how it felt to hold them close.

The experience matters as much as the portraits themselves. I work to make every session feel easy and fun so mothers can relax, kids can be themselves, and everyone leaves feeling good about what we created together. My hope is that you look forward to seeing me again—session after session, year after year.

The portraits we create together become custom albums you'll reach for again and again, and framed prints you'll see every morning as your family grows. Not files on a hard drive, but artwork you can touch and treasure.

I'm here for all of it—from tiny newborn fingers to senior portraits before they leave home. Some of my favorite clients are families I've photographed for years, watching their children grow from toddlers to graduates. That's the kind of relationship I value most.

I help mothers remember how deeply they loved.
