A little about me
There’s a beautiful contrast in weddings of high paced moments along with quiet and powerful ones and both will be tattooed in your heart and memory for the remaining of your life. Your wedding day is one of the most joyful times full of meaning. You’ll have the joy and excitement of having the most important people in your life together. Family and friends holding up their drinks, cheering and wishing you the very best. Your parents looking at you with so much love in their eyes, whispering to you how much they love you, and your friends in the dance floor jumping up and down as they grabbed your hands dance and sing from the top of their lungs to the songs of your childhood.
Those are the moments we live for!
My journalistic training helps me chase those bare and fleeting moments that will mean the world to you once everything is over but you’ll have the photographs to relive this time. I’ll be there helping you navigate this time so you can have an experience that is fun, collaborative and a creative process. You will never feel awkward in front of the camera, in fact I’ll make sure you forget about it by having a blast while ending with epic photographs!

Photography has always been a love affair I can't live without. Everything started when I was little, and I saw my dad taking photos every time we would go out. When I was 13 I was able to save enough money to get my hands on my first camera. That's when I discovered I could express feelings through photos, and ever since then my lens became an extension of how I see the world.
Believe it or not, I’m not the best in front of the camera. I get very anxious and nervous, and I need somebody to help me and direct me so I can be myself. I know more than anyone how vulnerable it is to let someone else capture you and the level of trust it entails. That’s why my process starts and ends with your experience. I got you! I will be guiding you—you’ll never have to think where to put your hands, or question if you look awkward, because I’ll let you know! 😉
The level of trust and the relationship we build is what makes all the difference. That’s what will make your experience so much more fun and meaningful. I got you!

MY PHILOSOPHY
One of my favorite things to do is to travel, meet people, and discover the world. I’m always in awe when I hear how incredible life is with so many “coincidences” of how people meet, fall in love, and change their lives. After hearing so many, it’s clear to me that nothing is a coincidence, and everything happens for a reason.
When I’m not working, I like to be with my loved ones, read, listen to podcasts or go on long walks—there’s a power to walking I recently discovered, and I noticed my most creative ideas come at this time.
When I'm not working or doing one of the many things I have on my to-do list, I daydream and continue to add to my travel bucket list! During my off season, which is winter, I usually travel and continue to photograph stories but in different places of the world, so I never really take a break from my camera! ;)
Forever a recovering coffee addict!
MY FAV THINGS
WHAT INSPIRES ME
Life is a never-ending creation. Life is love and love is art. Everything is connected and there’s nothing without the other, just like us—Humans. We’re all connected. We’re like the ocean, each of us is a wave and love is the current that drives us all. And I’m just mesmerized by all of it, there’s nothing more amazing than meeting human beings and hearing their stories, and better yet document them. I get to see life how you experience it—an absolute honor I treat with the outmost respect and love.
What matters in life is love, the relationship with our loved ones, and the moments we lived with them.
Everything in life is about connection & Intimacy.
BEHIND THE LENS
This is your time—the day you’ll live precious moments. I’ll be documenting how your mom is zipping you up, and the tears rolling down your face when you can’t control the laughter and the tears as your sister gives her speech where she resinizes about earlier times that now seem to be so far away.
While all of that happens, I’ll be next to you guiding you when you need me and disappearing when I see it fit to and quietly documenting it all so you can later re-live those moments over and over again every time you see your photos.
Once reception time hits, OH MY GOD! You will see me in the middle of the dance floor jumping along everybody to get those shots of joy and excitement you won’t want to miss! Those are epic moments, and I won’t miss a beat!
How ready are YOU?!
Rain, hail or shine, I won’t miss a beat

We never planned on taking engagement pictures, but were encouraged by Natalia to do so. I’m SO thankful that we did the session. Not only are the pictures beyond amazing! The experience with Natalia was even better. She made us feel comfortable and was awesome to work with! I highly recommend!

Natalia is hands down and amazing photographer. Veronique and I were impressed with how our album turned out. She was extremely creative with the location of our shoot and really making us one with nature which is what we really wanted. Her angles, the shots, and the editing were all top shelf. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the market for a impressive and talented photographer for any occasion. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime!
