Alicia is one of our Senior Models and I am so excited to have her on board!  She is very outgoing and willing to do just about anything!  She has an amazing smile and can really pull off not smiling too.  I did her brother's Senior Pictures last year and I mentioned the modeling program to her then and she was excited about it.  I couldn't wait for it to start this year so I could do hers!  She had so many ideas and awesome smiles about it.  I couldn't wait!   Originally we were going to do her session in the same place we did her brother's, but they didn't get back to us in time.  Which is funny because where we did her pictures was where we were originally going to do her brothers. But because of the floods last year, the pond was under construction so we went to the golf course he played at.   All during Alicia's session, the sky was cloudy, not cloudy, cloudy and then it just stayed cloudy and we didn't see the sun anymore...

I love this family!  I have done Senior Pictures, Weddings, Maternity and Baby pictures!  When Brianna's mom called and said Brianna was going to be a Senior, I couldn't believe it!  It seems like she was just in 8th grade.  She really wanted to do pictures near an abandoned building or house.  When I arrived at the building, I started to walk down the path and it started to rain, by the time I went back to the car to get the umbrella it was pouring rain. Luckily, it didn't rain long and it made all of the colors look fabulous!  But we did have to go into the building to get out of the rain for a bit.  It felt a little weird, obviously someone or someones live in there.  I was just hoping they didn't come home soon!  I love the colors in this image!  I was so excited!  Brianna wanted to do some cosplay pictures!  She did such a great job with her makeup and costume!  She even made the headba...

These guys are just amazing!  They were so in love with each other and so in love with their little one!  I just couldn't help but smile being around them!  Isn't she just adorable??  The best way to get her to smile was to play patty cake, she just lit up when her mom started singing the song.  It was adorable!  So stinking cute!  I love these!  They are just such a wonderfully loving couple!  I totally love it!

I have been trying so hard to catch up after my trip away to Delaware.  I haven't even had a chance to look at the pictures I took there and I've been back for almost 2 weeks!  I can't believe how quickly it has gone!  And then when we came home, I hit the ground running and now I have a long list of blogs and galleries to get done!  It is all quite exciting!  So here is the first!   These guys were amazing and fun!  I had a wonderful time climbing the rocks and hanging out with them!   Will, the little guy was quite skeptical about why he needed to be doing this.  I thought maybe I had figured him out when his mom told me he liked to be in charge.  After that it was easy peasy!  When I let him choose what we did, he was very agreeable!  However, when I asked him if he had fun, he said he had fun climbing on the rocks and standing in the water, but not really taking pictures.  I guess he is just a kid.  And ...

My youngest is just a wee 10 years old and yesterday he had to get braces.  We knew he would have to get braces, just not so soon.  And he will have to get them again in about 3 years.  Lately, he has been costing a lot of money!  Little stinker! Since I knew he was getting them soon and it was summer, I decided to photograph him eating the coveted caramel apple.  Little did I think that it would be so hot, it would be hard to eat without it dripping candy all over himself.  And since we were in a field of dirt and grass, he didn't finish the apple or even really make a dent in it. I already miss those funny spaced teeth!    His sister was so nice to help me with the photo shoot and was even nice enough to pose for about 30 seconds!  Totally LOVE these guys!!! If you ever want to do a post braces shoot, let me know!  It was quite fun!  Now for more soft food. Natalie Beck Photography   www.natalieb...

Yesterday, I was doing my yearly scoping out of competition - a dreaded event.  I feel like I am spying or invading their space!  I really just want to know where I stand against competition so I don't stagnate or charge too much or too little.  Anyway, one photographer had on her About Me page that she was the only photographer that was qualified to do your pictures.  Even against those other professional photographers that knew what they were doing, she was still better and nobody else should be trusted.  I don't want to be combative or defensive, I would just like to say what my personal view on that subject is - no one photographer can do everyone's pictures.  There are so many variables - personality, ability, style, passion, how they present the images, how they "see", what ages they click with, patience with people, imagination, growth, posing techniques and so many more.  But I cannot be everything to everyone and by doing so, I wo...

I have been so excited for Rachel and James' wedding!  They are such a marvelous couple!  Their engagement session was the best and I just knew their wedding would be just as wonderful, loving and kindhearted! It was the perfect day for a wedding, a little muggy, but not too hot.  And overcast.  Just the right kind, not too dark and a little bit of sun some of the times.  All of their guests were amazing and marvelous and loveable!  I wish I could do their wedding over and over again!  Rachel was so great, jumping up and off of bed's to place the dress in just the right spot.  Fetching things and offering things, just to make sure that everyone had what they needed.  It was like she wasn't getting married or something!  I love when brides are so appreciative of the people around them!  It is very lovely!  When Rachel and James first went out on a date and the date, time and place were decided upon, Rachel s...
