• My nieces and nephews truly believed that my full time career was “photographer” even before Studio Life Photography became a reality; simply because of the number of times they saw me with a camera in hand. Where some keep written journals, I keep photo journals. Where some take photographs only on special occasions, I take photographs every. single. day.

    I’m Natalie, and I am thrilled you have stumbled upon my little corner of the internet. As the founder and artist behind Studio Life Photography, I offer lifestyle photography for every season of life. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me sipping a skinny caramel macchiato, talking with friends, and trying to figure out how to get paid to travel around the world.

    Thanks for stopping by and to discuss your dream photo session, drop me a line at natalie@studiolifephotos.com. What season of life will you capture?


by the book | i heart faces

The photo theme at I Heart Faces this week is “by the book,” and this image immediately sprung to mind. As a high school English teacher, this beautiful mother of three young boys is instilling a love of reading in her children from a young age.

tiny sparrow foundation | a picture of hope

I am honored to announce that Studio Life Photography has been chosen as an Affiliate Photographer for the Tiny Sparrow Foundation, which is a non-profit organization  dedicated to providing lasting memories through the art of photography to families whose children are facing critical illness.

Tiny Sparrow Foundation was founded by Lidia Boicu, a photographer and mother, who was inspired to reach out to the tiniest warriors after her own battle with breast cancer. She is an inspiration to many, and now her heart for passing on lasting memories has become the soul of the Tiny Sparrow Foundation. The focus of Studio Life Photography has always been on creating photographic treasures for generations to come and what better way to carry on this legacy than providing custom photography to children and families facing the unfathomable.

Please take a moment and stop by the Tiny Sparrow Foundation website and become a fan on Facebook to read more about this organization.

holiday fun | las cruces portrait photographer

When my sister approached me about taking pictures for her Christmas card, I knew it would be fun. This is her first Christmas as a married woman, and let’s face it, she and her husband are some of the most fun, loving people I know. She was inspired by a picture she found on pinterest, which sent us on a search for big holiday lights. And when I say search, I mean it. We couldn’t find traditional, old fashioned, burn-your-hands-they’re-so-hot lights at any of the big name stores, but thankfully after scouring the city we found one lonely strand at the local Salvation Army.

In the end, it was a fun session capturing them perfectly for their first Christmas as a married couple.
