We arranged for Natalie to take photos of us whilst we were on vacation in the OBX. On the evening of the shoot, we ran into a problem and couldn't make it. Natalie calmly rearranged that we meet on an alternate evening, which we did. We couldn't be happier with the photos!! Thank you Natalie! read more

Natalie did a great job engaging our 5 and 3yo granddaughters. She did beautiful group poses with various backdrops along the ocean and dunes, as well as any small groupings we wanted. Natalie also got some fantastic action shots of the girls running on the dune and splashing in the water. Her communication was terrific, she made it easy for out of towners to get family pictures in a beautiful setting! read more

My family & I traveled to the OBX for a vacation & used Natalie for our family photos.

Natalie was an absolute pleasure to work with in OBX! Our family had intentions of getting family pictures done on the beach for years and always put it off until now. And, it was worth the wait! As a family of 16, we can be a handful but Natalie was patient, kind, wonderful with kids and very flexible! We received our pictures within a few weeks (during the height of busy season!) and they were above and beyond. We are very grateful for the memories she captured and will cherish them forever! Can't wait to work with her again in the future. read more

Natalie did our family photos this year while we were on vacation at the OBX. We were extremely lucky to snag a cancellation spot and get in with her last minute! Despite our wild 4-year-old being less than cooperative and our high-energy dog wanting to spend the shoot chasing birds, Natalie got several stunning pictures of our family! I highly recommend booking with her - we definitely will again! read more

Natalie took our family photos in Corolla, NC, this summer, and we are beyond delighted with the pictures. We scheduled an hour with Natalie, and it was perfect for her to take photos of the different family groupings we requested. She was fantastic with our four grandsons, allowing them to be boys and capturing their enthusiasm for posing for the pictures. We had six adults and four grandsons, and she took the time to take the entire family's picture in two locations on the beach, each of our children with their two children and several of my husband and me. She was relaxed the entire hour and wanted to ensure she had taken all the pictures I requested. I plan to schedule Natalie again next year when we vacation on Buck Island, Corolla, NC. read more

Natalie was so patient with our family that included 2 kids under 5 and 2 dogs. We have had 2 different sessions with her and will continue to use her for all our OBX pictures going forward. read more

We could not have been more pleased with the whole process of having our family photographed. From start to finish Natalie delivered all that she promised. She selected a beautiful spot behind the Sanderling Inn for our family to be photographed against large unobstructed dunes and then against the ocean. She even got a two year old and a six month old to cooperate with the picture-taking, by focusing their attention on a toy that she brought with her. She was punctual, had great suggestions, and the pictures were received within the time frame that they were promised to us. We wouldn't hesitate to engage Natalie again when the time comes to update our family pictures while vacationing in the Outer Banks. She gets 5 well deserved stars from our whole family. read more

Natalie was great to work with. She was prompt and was great with my children at getting the best pictures possible.

Professional and so easy to deal with! Natalie was organized and communicated clearly from the first interaction until the last. Pricing and details were transparent and fair. She was prompt, friendly, and put us all at ease--even the dogs. We have done portraits at the beach a few times over the years, and these stand out as both the best photos but also the best experience! And we ended up with a ton of wonderful photos--in large part because Natalie made this such an enjoyable moment!! read more

My family had an excellent experience working with Natalie the summer of June 2018 in Duck NC. There were 10 of us making up 3 separate families and Natalie worked with us to get various combinations of family members together. The pictures are wonderful - it will be very hard to decide which ones to have printed and framed. I want them all! read more

I cannot praise Natalie enough! She shot my sisters wedding in the OBX. She did such a fabulous job that I had to have her photograph my family on our vacation. We had a rocky week of weather and Natalie was very accommodating with changing the days. We ended up toughing out the wind and chill and moved our location to the sound side at the Whalehead club. We were not disappointed! The pictures are absolutely gorgeous and we cannot wait for next year to do it again! read more

Great family portrait session during our vacation in OBX. Natalie is professional, patient and so easy to work with.

I highly recommend Natalie's wedding photography. I have gotten so many compliments on our photos as well as our announcements, which she designed. The online gallery that comes w/ the packages is very neat, for ordering professional grade prints and for sharing online.

Where do I begin! Natalie is an absolute one-of-a-kind photographer and I definitely recommend her to anyone. My family and I went on vacation to the Outer Banks and decided to have our family/daughters 1st birthday pictures taken on the beach, and I am so glad we found Natalie to do the job. The pictures came out flawless, we honestly couldn't have had a better photographer! She took numerous photos and captured so many great memories that we will forever treasure. She even provided us with a personal sized cake and balloon for our daughters special cake smash birthday celebratory session! It was an overall great experience. We'll see you next year Natalie, thank you again for everything :) read more
