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.

Photographed these two at Oatlands Plantation where they got engaged. Anyone else want to snuggle up in the mountains now? #nataliejaynebrides #nataliejaynecouples ps. I heard that a HUGE giveaway is on my last post, if you are in a relationship go check it out!! 🙋‍♀️
I’m going LIVE on Instagram at 6pm, and a giveaway may or may not be involved. 😍 #nataliejaynecouples
I work hard to live a more active life style and workout consistently, but eating poorly is the difficult part. One of the best decisions I made when I started eating healthier was boosting my vegetable intake, but I had a crazy idea to make my diet predominantly veggies 12 days ago. So here is my meat-free diet update. When I started filling my diet with vegetables and other non-meat options, I realized how heavy meat made me feel almost instantly after eating it. For the last 12 days, my diet has included no chicken, (almost) no dairy (I did have to cheat on this one), no bacon, no steak, etc. FOURTEEN DAYS without eating meat, only two left. I still ate fish and eggs, but THAT’S IT. I get asked often if I miss meat and I honestly don’t. I miss the flavor of bacon the most so far, but everything else that I have been craving has vegan replacements. Morning Star has been my best friend, and I LOVE black bean burgers. I honestly don’t even think I’m going to have meet on Tuesday. Hardest part of the transition was eating WAY too many carbs, but I’m slowly learning how to cut my carbs back and eat meat-free. Questions always welcome 🤓
Stay focused. Stay focused. Stay focused. Maybe I need coffee to focus. I am kind of hungry, maybe I should make some lunch first. Should I just go pick up food? Nonono. Focus. Just eat a snack. Apple- okay. Okay. Nowwww focus. ... 🤦‍♀️ I forgot to move over the laundry. I guess I can move it over later. No, I'll just move it now. Y A Y M U L T I T A S K I N G. Maybe I should make a list of what I need to do first. Okay. List done. Now...let's seeeeee. Number 1. finish emails. Okay email one: "Dear Natalie, we are getting married at Congressional..." OH, I should share an image on Instagram before I do emails. I haven't shared anything in almost a day. Okay, Instagram. Let's do this. First I need to choose an image. *scrolls for awhile* THIS ONE. Okay now, what in the heck do do I write... Stay focused. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Reality of being focused at home is I literally. can't. be focused at home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pro tip: go to a local coffee shop. ☕️

Fun fact: Valentines Day is really high on my list of favorite holidays. Like...top three (behind Christmas and Thanksgiving because...food) I’m not one for the typical Valentine’s Day traditions, but I’m a total sap and hopeless romantic. I love that today is surrounded in loving and appreciating one another (shallow answer: I really also love chocolate 🍫). You’ll probably find me eating various chocolates and watching The Notebook today or Grey’s Anatomy- TEARS WILL BE FLOWING. Happy Valentines Day from me to you!❤️ Spend some time today loving on yourself, who you’re with, and/or your friends. #happyvalentinesdaytoall
Happy Valentines Day!! 🥀 #nataliejaynecouples
