If I could give her more starts I would, but Yelp only allows 5! Nataly is incredibly talented photographer who is also passionate about her job! Her work is exceptionally beautiful and artsy! I was fortunate to be photographed by Nataly during my pregnancy. We actually drove to Annapolis, MD for our maternity photo session because I wanted to take pictures on the beach. I was completely blown away by this experience. Nataly brought at least10 different outfits for me and numerous prompts, including balloons. Her dresses and prompts are included in price and are absolutely gorgeous (I will include some pictures in this review). She guides you with suggestions on poses and gives you beautiful ideas to make those precious memories into beautiful images! She knows all the beautiful places in the area where you can go for your photo session. She also has her own studio in Tysons Corner area. I know that Nataly also specializes in taking pictures of newborns. My baby was just born, but in couple of months I will definitely go back to take some pictures of her! I printed some pictures that we took on canvas and they are beautifully displayed in my living room. All my visitors are very impressed! I highly recommend Nataly! read more

We spent over a year searching for a newborn photographer. From her website and social media pages it was clear that no local photographer compares to the work of Nataly Danilova. Fast forward to the day our princess was four days old. She was extremely fussy at first, and we were witness to the things that social media cannot show you through images alone. My husband and I were skeptical watching our little girl cry and fuss. We were convinced that we might end up with only one or two newborn photos. Enter the baby whisperer. She had so many techniques up her sleeve for calming our girl, that we found ourselves as first time parents to come home with us so she could console the baby for us there! She treated our daughter like she was her own. She was professional and kind and even made some suggestions to us as new parents for calming our daughter. She sent us the finished work in an amazingly prompt fashion, and we were speechless with the results. From our original correspondence, through the photoshoot and then the viewing of the results itself, I know we made the right choice. She created images quite fitting for the arrival of a princess into the world. Thank you Nataly! We will be coming back! read more

I was referred to Nataly through my sister in law who had used her for newborn pictures. It was the best decision I have made I was nervous because he tends to be fussy, but Nataly was amazing. She is so gentle and soothing towards the babies he feel sleep immediately. It was such a clean, relaxing, and beautiful studio. Nataly played soothing music and made the experience for everyone so easy and relaxed. She even let my mother be in the pictures and that wasn't even part of the package. She had every prop you can imagine. She had all the backgrounds and sets prepared before we arrived. I had selected photos I liked and she had everything prepared. It was such a fun experience! The pictures were beautiful, one of a kind so creative and unique! I have received so many compliments and so many people have asked me where and who took the pictures. I highly recommend Nataly, you can't find a better photographer she truly is talented and loves what she does and it shows! If you want quality images done by a true professional who is gentle and caring she's the person to go to! Can't express how amazing she is!! Melika :) I read more

I am glad to have found Nataly on Instagram for my maternity and my baby's newborn photo sessions. She did an splendid job and very knowledgeable with her work. She offered a selection of outfits to choose from for my maternity photo shoot which made my life easy rather than to go shopping for the prefect maternity outfit. She was very responsive and flexible working with the schedule for the photoshoots. Her Oakton studio has everything necessary for a perfect photo session and she was very friendly/welcoming which made us feel very comfortable in the studio during the shoots. The newborn baby session was very comfortable for us and the baby too. She took care from dressing the baby as required for the themes selected, feeding and changing the diaper everything until the end of the session. She had a babyshusher which helped to calm the baby.She has wide range of themes and accessories for the newborn session to choose from and the final results are just what I wanted. If someone is looking for a perfect package for a maternity plus newborn session then Nataly is the photographer to consider. read more

Nataly was recommended to me by a friend who had her newborn photos done recently. I knew as soon as I saw her work I wanted to schedule a session with her. Unfortunately due to covid I had to cancel my maternity photo session but I was determined to work with her for my daughter's newborn photos as she is our miracle baby so this was very important to me. Nataly's beautifully impressive studio is located in her home and she took all the precautions to maintain safety for covid. Nataly is professional, personable and talented. My husband and I were amazed to see her experience with babies in action. She was able to keep our 12 day old baby sleeping throughout all the outfit and scene changes, fed her and changed her all while keeping her very calm. As first time parents, we were very impressed and even picked up some soothing tips to apply at home from the session. Our baby girl's photos turned out absolutely beautiful! We will cherish these photos for years to come. And we will definitely work with Nataly again in the future. read more

Nataly Danilova is simply the best! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our maternity photo session. Nataly was very patient, creative, and was even open to the ideas that we suggested as well. Her studio is completely dedicated to her work and she told us that she has 10+ years of experience...and it shows. When you work with her you know that you are dealing with a seasoned professional. I loved the fact that she has so many props, backgrounds, and outfits available. You may not totally see the creative vision during the session, but her photo editing skills are amazing and you'll feel like a million bucks once you see yourself in the images of her finished product! Our pictures came out absolutely stunning and our family and friends raved about them. I look forward to framing our pics in our baby's nursery and sharing these pics with our child, family members, and friends for years to come. Definitely something we'll cherish forever. I highly recommend booking your next photo session with Nataly! read more

It is my pleasure to recommend Nataly for your newborn, toddler and family photography. One week after our son was born we visited Nataly in her photo studio. She took pictures of our newborn, of our 2 years old daughter and of the whole family. During the 2,5 hour session she was very careful with our son and our daughter. She took a lot of amazing pictures with different themes. As a mother of several Kids she knows how to handle the little one. She did this very professional and gentle. Also the handling of our toddler was impressive. She had a good method to interact with the kid and the pictures are great. Our Kids did not cry for only one second. We were feeling very well during the whole duration of the session. She explained every step and asked the whole time for our impressions and opinions. The pictures were edited professional and the communication was exemplary. We are very grateful for the stunning pictures of the kids and the family and wish Nataly all the best. read more

Nataly's photography expertise is exceptional and highly recommended, especially those with little ones whose attention spans don't lend to a long drawn out photo session. As soon as I found out we were having a girl, I knew I wanted to secure Nataly as our newborn photographer. She is amazing with children and extremely efficient. Nataly was able to capture so many looks within a short timeframe--this includes multiple wardrobe and prop changes, and two feedings. Her turnaround time for delivering proofs is impeccable as well. I've used several photographers in the past and it has taken weeks to simply see proofs and then you have to wait for editing. This was not the case with Nataly--she sent proofs the same night and provided edited versions within a week. We were impressed by her so much that we secured a mini holiday package. Again, our experience was five stars again. In short, I highly recommend Nataly. She's beyond professional, efficient and delivers a superior product. read more

I found Nataly Danilova on instagram and immediately knew I wanted to book her to do our son's newborn photos. The whole process was amazing and extremely seamless. She is like a baby whisperer. Our son slept the entire time and she was very quick, focused, and organized, and went from each set up to photo and outfit without any hesitation. She also fed him a bottle and took care of him when he started waking up in the middle of the session. She is very knowledgeable and accommodating and has so much experience working with newborns which we could tell. We felt very at ease and trusted her completely with our son and knew the photos would turn out amazing. She sent over the gallery for us to choose photos from the same day and got us the edited photos back in less than a week. If anyone is thinking of getting newborn photos done I HIGHLY recommend her - her packages and pricing are more than fair for the quality of work and are actually quite reasonable for the DMV area. read more

A friend of mine recommended Nataly after she shot her wedding. This was one of the best decisions ever! I did a lot of research before I chose Nataly Danilova Photography. Nataly is amazing. She really enjoyes what she doing. I can tell that kids photography is her passion and inspiration. She is so easy going and creative. She knows all beautiful surroundings in DC area. She loves nature, people. She looks arround and just love what she sees. She can look on simple subject and places and she has like special vision on surroundings. I can really explain it. We walked at the park and she stoped at some places. She so much liked lighting and some special spots. But for me all looks avarage. But when I saw the result I can understand why she chose this particular place. So when we got our photos back, I even cryied! I was so happy with the result. These photos of our girls will be the best memories and unforgettible moments for our family. read more

Before even meeting her in person we knew our maternity shoot experience with Nataly would be great. She was responsive to our emails and questions, scheduled a call with us and prepared us for the shoot with outfit choices and photography style choices. Once we got to her studio she was already ready with beautiful wardrobe changes for me and my belly that actually fit and looked great. She was also ready with photograph examples to choose from. She also had cute props and accessories to complement each theme. She's fast but also careful to get the shots you want too. She gives great direction and encouragement so that you feel comfortable. Her studio is clean and organized. After the shoot she sent the draft images fairly quickly so that we could choose the ones to be post-edited and sent to us in hi-res. Overall we loved our experience working with Nataly and look forward to our newborn session with her soon! read more

With my infant twins I was looking for a photographer who could create the posed and dramatically staged feel for newborns. I found Nataly online and reviewed some pictures. She had tremendous reviews and her photos had the look I was interested in. Booking the appointment was easy (did it from my hospital bed) and she was extremely responsive. We were in within the first 2 weeks (apparently optimal for newborn photos). She provided all props, backgrounds, and outfits for both the babies and our 4 year old. She asked what colors were preferred and made recommendations. She was both accommodating and efficient, deftly managing all the kids whether it was keeping them warm, positioning, or encouraging poses and expressions. She provided all of the photo editing and turned it all around quickly. Her pricing was transparent, which was greatly appreciated. I hope to go back soon, perhaps for their 1 yr. mark. read more

I had awesome experience with Nataly Danilova Photography! Nataly is such kind and friendly person. My collegues had pregnant photoshoot with Nataly few months ago and when I saw her photo I was absolutely in love with them. The pictures turned out AMAZING, and it is very obvious that she deeply cares about her art and the women she photographs. Besides the gowns she provided for maternity shoot were so luxurious. We changed dresses 4 times. She also provided dress for my daughter.  She offers every style imaginable, and is incredibly creative and artistic.  After I got my photos I was shocked. I didn't expect it would be so charming. We decided to order photobook and 3 hugh canvas.  I am not photogenic person but I really like myself on these pictures. Plus I got a present from Nataly -small photobook for my parents. She also provided 10 % discount on newborn photosession. Highly recommend her! read more

When I was looking for a photographer for a maternity photoshoot, I found some who work closer to where I live. Fortunately for me, they had bad customer service, which made me keep looking. Then, I found Nataly's page and I am so glad I decided to have her capture this beautiful phase in my life. I drove 37 miles from Columbia, MD to McLean, VA and I would drive even longer to work with her. It was so easy to schedule the photoshoot with her. She was very professional and delivered the pictures and slide-show faster than expected. Nataly made me feel comfortable, relaxed and beautiful with her directions and gorgeous dresses. Even my husband who does not like getting too many pictures taken, enjoyed the photoshoot. I highly recommend nataly's work and can't wait to have her take photos of my baby who will arrive very soon. Thank you Nataly for capturing such beautiful memories!! Ingrid B. read more

Nataly is truly AMAZING! Yes, there are many ok photographers in the area, but very few of this level of proficiency!! She is a true artist who took her passion to a professional level. She has an eye for every little detail that makes a general picture stunning. Nataly's photos are like illustrations to fairy tails. Her creativity and imagination always surprises me. She has tons of props and cute outfits for babies as well as gorgeous gowns for Moms-to-be. Very easygoing person and really good with kids (she has four of her own). We are very lucky that we met Nataly and it has been a great pleasure "working" with her. I call our sessions "photo therapy" because they are always uplifting. Her masterpieces worth every penny you spend! Highly recommend to all my family and friends. Check out her website and you will understand why. The quality of her work speaks for itself. read more

Nataly was great to work with. She returned emails and calls very quickly, was professional, kind, patient and genuine. She also worked with us and our chaotic life at the time. She did my maternity photos and newborn photos. She was very good at posing me and my husband and catching the best angles for us. By the time we got to our newborn session we were exhausted! She made sure we were as at ease as possible and took care of everything including diaper changes. She handled our baby with care and had several tricks to keep her calm which we actually learned from (since she is a mother herself). The photos are fantastic! High quality, great staging, and the edits are outstanding. She listened to my requests for specific edits and executed them nicely. We enjoyed working with Nataly and would choose her again in a heart beat. read more

I am giving Natalia 5 stars without any doubt! She did my daughter's smash cake photoshoot. First, let me start by saying that she is a very talented photographer and I simply loved all the pictures! Second, she is very professional, has a huge variety of outfits to choose from, suggests how to pose and how to make the pictures look more beautiful. She is very organized and gets everything done very efficiently. Third, she was very patient during the photoshoot even though my baby girl kept crying as she was in a grumpy mood I guess. And last but not least, Natalia's pricing is very straightforward, with no hidden fees like in some other places where they put one price on the website but it turns out that you have to pay so many extra fees. All in all, highly recommend, one of the best experiences we ever had! read more

Nataly Danilova did a Christmas family photo shoot for us in November and we absolutely loved both her and her work. She was referred to us by a friend who also did a family photo shoot with her earlier. Before booking the session with Nataly I looked up her work, she has a very broad gallery which helped us to decide. Nataly's approach of just blending in with our family and capturing candid moments was exactly what we were looking for. The shoot yielded beautiful shots of our family. We will treasure them, and they made perfect holiday gifts for all our family members this year! She is also easy to work with, both in setting up the shoot, the day of the shoot, and when she delivered the images. In person, Nataly is kind and friendly. I highly recommend Nataly! read more

Nataly is now a part of our family! We first met her during our maternity shoot, and we loved it! Her combination of creativity, enthusiasm, and professionalism made the session one of our favorite memories during my maternity days :) Throughout the shoot, we talked and laughed together, and we instantly felt a personal connection which was so nice! We returned once the twins were born, and again, she had such a sense of calmness and patience that I was so happy knowing the babies were so comfortable with her! Last but not least - her turn around time for the photos is quick, and she even worked within a week to have our photos back in time for Christmas! Nataly's passion and love for photography shows through her work, 5 STARS and highly recommended!!! read more
