Photographer in Aliso Viejo, California

I hired Natalie to take my latest professional head shots. She and I had worked together for two years at Fair Trade USA, where she served as the in-house photographer and designer, so I knew I would be in the best possible hands. The whole experience was fantastic. Natalie worked closely with me ahead of time to make sure she understood my vision. On the day of the shoot, Natalie came prepared with two specific locations at the same site, as well as specific poses. Being in front of the camera normally makes me uncomfortable, but her humor, kindness, and professionalism kept me at ease and smiling the whole time. My jaw literally dropped when she delivered the final photos a few weeks later. The images are stunning, and will serve me well in the workplace and beyond for years to come. If you want a friendly, professional photographer to take your or your loved ones’ portraits, Natalie is your girl. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Natalie is an incredibly talented photographer and a wonderful person to work with! She and I met through a previous job and I had the pleasure of working with her for my engagement photo shoot as well. She was incredibly professional while also being fun and personal which helped my partner and I as we felt a little nervous. She did an amazing job of listening to our thoughts/wishes and translating them into a beautiful gallery of photos. She was extremely prompt with her communications and had our photos ready weeks before we had initially agreed to receive them, which was a fun treat! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to do any type of photo shoot/work. Her style is beautiful, natural and I felt like it truly captured who we are as a couple.

Natalie is an absolutely incredible photographer! I’ve had a few photo shoots with her and each time I’m impressed. What I really appreciate is her ability to listen to what I wanted, but also bringing in her creativity and perspective to the photos. I had her to take my engagement photos and wanted her to do something a bit more unique. So she did what she always does - she delivered what I wanted! She gave me ideas and helped with poses. Not to mention her lighting work in those photos. Having her do my photos has been such a joy and I’ve always been extra satisfied. Thanks Natalie!

I had known Natalie for many years as a coworker before I engaged with her as a photographer. Knowing and seeing some of the good work she did for our company, my fiance (now wife) and I did an engagement shoot with her. An typical couple, she led us through a wonderful experience and we got some amazing photos that were original and unique! Her eye for lighting and position was on point!
