One of the most common questions I get before family sessions is:

"What should we wear?"

I put together my favorite stress-free tips for busy moms, including the biggest mistake I see families make when planning outfits.

Read the full blog here.

I'd love to know—which tip is your favorite?

Choosing outfits for your entire family can feel overwhelming. Between coordinating colors, shopping for growing kids, and trying to find something everyone feels comfortable in, it's easy to overthink.

A quick summer availability update ☀️💛

I currently have just 2 June weekend session openings remaining and limited weekday evening availability.

If family photos have been on your summer to-do list, now is the perfect time to get on the calendar before those last spots are gone ✨

Message me or inquire through the link in my bio for availability.

Seniors 👀✨

Just a friendly reminder that summer goes FAST.

If senior photos are still on the to-do list, now is the time to get on the calendar. July/August availability is already beginning to fill, and those golden summer evenings don’t stay open for long 💛

What family photos actually feel like with me 💛

Summer sessions just hit different ✨💛

The older I get, the more I realize how quickly these seasons move 💛

The little laughs.
The way your kids reach for your hand.
The in-between moments you don’t even realize you’ll miss someday.

Those are the moments worth remembering ✨

Some places hold so much more than memories. 🤍

This cabin has been part of this family’s story for a long time — a place filled with laughter, summer days on the water, late nights together, and memories that continue to grow year after year. It was such an honor to capture not only the entire family together, but Grandma & Grandpa surrounded by their children and grandchildren who make this place so special.

These are the moments that matter most — being together, slowing down, and preserving the legacy of a place that feels like home for so many hearts.

So grateful I got to document this chapter for them in my very first expansion area session at the cabin up in Townsend. ✨

Family photos don’t have to feel stressful 💛

You don’t need perfectly behaved kids.
You don’t need perfectly matching outfits.
You don’t need to know exactly what to do.

You just need to show up together ✨

Eight years ago, I quietly stopped blogging.

At the time, it honestly felt like a lot of work with very little return. I spent hours writing posts that felt like no one was actually reading, and somewhere along the way, social media became the easier place to show up.

Then life happened.

Motherhood happened 🤍

And over the last 8 years, so much about this business—and the heart behind it—has changed.

Lately, I’ve been building this business with so much more intention. Not just focusing on growth, but creating something that feels meaningful, aligned, and truly fulfilling.

So today feels really special.

✨ The Natalie Marie Journal is officially live.

This new space will be home to:
• family session planning tips
• senior session inspiration
• local location guides
• real session stories
• and a little behind-the-scenes heart from this business I love so much

If you’ve supported Natalie Marie Photography at any point along the way—thank you 🤍

And if you’re new here, I’m so glad you’re here.
