Welcome

Thank you so much for visiting, I'm so excited you're here! I'm Natalie, a Wedding and Senior photographer based in Richmond, Virginia. I absolutely LOVE to travel. Feel free to take a look around to get to know a little more about me! Don't forget to stop and say Hello!

On Instagram.

Nothing was brighter than Katelyn’s smile when John made her laugh. These two radiated joy the entire session, so a photo to reflect it only seemed fitting. 🌻 Thank you for skipping in sunflower filled fields with me today. #nataliejaynecouples
Mental health and physical health. • They're both so important, but some days they go hand in hand. Especially when I'm mentally tired, its harder to get motivated to take care of myself physically. • Did you know that some photographers work as much as 50-80 hours or more PER WEEK?! Yes, it can be exhausting. So, I'll be taking some much needed time off this weekend (and during busy season 🙌!) to focus on taking care of my personal self and not just my business self. Recentering like a normal person so when I come back, I’ll be refueled and ready to kick butt. • What do you do during your time off to recenter? • Florals by @kellylenard for @thepathworkshops in Scotland
Hey, you. • I see you. You matter. You are deserving of love and laughter and joy. You are worthy of people who love you unconditionally. • Just a reminder. #nataliejaynecouples
I’m sharing all of this because I want to encourage you to start again. • Body update: I've been working out consistently for about one week now, and wow I feel amazing again. I forgot how good it feels to be active. Physically I look the same, but I know I'm making baby steps towards making progress and It's been amazing to feel like this. • This time around getting into shape I'm stronger than the first time around, and I know what to do to reach my goals. I already notice small things like my core feeling more tight since it has been worked out every day this week. • Also, sitting at my desk my back doesn't hurt since I've been balancing my sedentary life with an active one. I even took some time to walk three miles outside yesterday and feel so good. • Never think that you failed if you backtracked in anything, because step backwards and forwards (and then backwards and forwards again) is dancing. 💃🏼 • Ups and downs? Part of LIFE. Today just make one step to life healthier. Drink an extra cup of water, spend some one outside for mental health, whatever! • I'm going to be sharing my progress along the way, but I wanted to hear from you, what do you want to see or know about my progress? Feel free to DM me as well if you aren’t comfortable sharing below! • I want this to be a real, raw experience together. • Photo by my super cute a talented friend @liannamariephoto 📷 and edited by me

When I was a sophomore in college I saw a hurtful text I shouldn't have that went a little something like this... • ”In ten years when she's making under ___*very small number*___ a year ill schedule her an appointment to take pics of our dogs s***’s for 100 dollars a pic.” • Yup, that was referring to me. 🖐Yikes. • I still can't believe someone would type that, but they did. To be honest, it stung. I think everything happens for a reason, but I wasn't sure why I was meant to see those until months later. To top it off, I used to think my worth was the dollar sign in my bank account. Anyone else been there? • Now that years have passed and my view looks nothing like dog poop, and a lot more like this (much prettier, although who’s too good to pass up poop pics for A HUNDRED DOLLARS A PIC. AMIRIGHT?👩💩), I'm realizing that those words freed me of something so much bigger than I could have seen coming. • My worth, YOUR WORTH, isn't wrapped in some number. I chose to leave out the exact amount that they referred to because I genuinely believe that. • One more time so the back row can hear... YOUR WORTH IS NOT WRAPPED AROUND SOME NUMBER.🙌 • Financial stability is so important, but you're worthy no matter what that stability looks like in your life. Public school teachers, EMT/ paramedics, child care professionals, Military, Registered Nurse, social workers are just a few examples of people who know this all too well. Everyone on this list is way cooler than me, but we have something in common- we love what we do. (Well, *hopefully*, we have that in common ☺️) • The funny part was when I read this I had more than surpassed that number and as a full-time student. I knew I was working my butt off to make something of myself while getting a degree and I was feeling ON FIRE... but even though I knew that wasn't ever going to be true, it got to me. • I quickly forgot about these hateful words and looking back it makes me laugh that I even gave it any of my time. • Comment why you love your job below so I can cheer you on! Heres to rising above negativity and doing what you love. ✊ #nataliejaynephotography #nataliejaynebrides #nataliejaynecouples
