Make an appointment:
If you are a women I'd highly recommend booking an appointment to get your make-up done professionally. Let the make-up artist know you are having your photo taken and you want it to look natural, this will help steer away from feeling uneasy about getting beautified...Professional make-up artists are trained to accentuate your already stunning features and make your images look that much better. Plus, it's a great excuse to get pampered :)! If you choose not to that's cool too, I'd recommend wearing extra make-up than you'd normally wear.
Choose a color palette:
Now this does not have to be complicated... I'd recommend talking to your fiance, boyfriend, husband, sister etc. to see what colors they like. Say you love yellow (one of my favorite colors) and grey. Then choose pieces that compliment those colors. For example: In the photo above she is wearing a fun dress with lots of colors (yellow being one of them), with a grey cardigan, then he is wear a plaid grey/blue flannel, which picks up on the cardigan. Wham! They are complimentary :)
Believe it or not...I get this question a lot and the simplest answer... is to be yourself! These images are a reflection of you! So, If you love bright colors and dresses, then wear that. I recommend coordinating colors verses matching completely.
Relax and enjoy:
You are gorgeous! You are handsome, smokin' actually!!! And I give you permission to feel that way!
My job is to make you look great, so I have your best interest at heart and want you to truly love your images! So relax and enjoy getting photographed!! I promise I won't tell :).
I am here:
Yep! I am here to help you with any questions, bounce ideas off of, help you shop online, or even pick something fabulous out of your existing wardrobe :). So relax and we will figure it out together if you need me.
You like me, you really like me. Now what?

When is the best time to take newborn photos?
Newborn sessions are best held before 10 days after your bundle of joy has been born(the sooner the better
in my opinion:)). There is almost nothing more amazing than being a part a your
new life & new addition to your family. Gorgeous photo's are a result
of the thought and care I put into each session.
What Should I Wear to our Portrait session?
I would recommend wearing something that is sassy
and something more casual. Be
unique. Be you. What are your favorite things? How do you spend your time? This
is after all a reflection of you, as you are, so wear what is comfortable and
what you feel fantastic in! This is your time to shine. So be free and I
will embrace it.
One of my favorite spots is Anthropologie.com for
cute dresses and unique details, but if you like another store all the better.
We can work together if you have any other
questions.
What is the favorite place you have travelled?
I would say...everywhere I have been has shaped me, added to my life, and brought me so many wonderful memories. When I (Natalie) was backpacking through europe with only what was on my back. It was awesome. I'd love to swap travel stories with you. Also, Our Honeymoon to St. Croix and St. Thomas was amazing!

Italian Gelato goodness from anywhere in Italy.
When I back packed through Europe I ate Gelato every day. It was a torrid love
affair. SHHHH don’t tell Parker. And in the states good old Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.
