Hi there.

Click on the ABOUT tab to learn more about us.

Keep scrolling to get a small taste of my style and my work.

My heart is to photograph with a purpose, to capture souls not just smiles.

I am passionate about celebrating People of Color, their stories, and helping to highlight the reality that brown + black skin is just as beautiful and valuable as white skin. In a world that judges character based on skin, I want to see skin and soul. My hope is to consistently share documentation of all life, offering the world glimpses into the beauty of the fullness of mankind.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

IN THEIR WORDS

"I am BEYOND pleased with the way my engagement pictures turned out. Natalie made me and my fiancé both feel comfortable during our shoot and was open to whatever we wanted to do. We got our pictures back in a very, very timely manner and I have no doubt our wedding pictures will be as good as our engagement photo. I highly recommend her work!"

Happy wedding day, beautiful friend! ✨ ✨ ✨ #nataliebrennerphotography #pdxfamilyphotographer #weddingphotography #pdxwedding

I mean, I’m not into the added asthma struggles this smoke is bringing but the lighting for this session was sorta dope (as they say). ✨ ✨ #pdxfamilyphotographer #nataliebrennerphotography #travelingphotographer #embraceoregon #familyphotography #portlandphotographer

But why wouldn’t we have so much fun doing headshots and celebrating you? #nataliebrennerphotography

Something I hear before 98% of my sessions is, “I am so nervous, I am not photogenic, I hate getting my photos taken.” And I get that. It’s vulnerable having a stranger (or even someone you know) bring a camera to document YOU as you are, when Pinterest and Instagram are feeding you pristine and polished photographs you feel you’ll never measure up to. ✨ ✨ But my goodness do I feel fulfilled when I hear during or at the end of the session, “Wow, you were the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. I’ve never been so relaxed or felt like such a model. Thank you.” I nearly burst hearing those words, and I have heard this from hundreds of clients! ✨ ✨ I’ve been thinking about this and how it ties into the reality that I as a person value safety. Safety physically, sure, but waaaay more than that I value safety for our hearts. I bring that value and passion and drive to my sessions and I work to see and document the soul, not just pull out a forced smile. I work to bring laughter and joy and let YOU radiate, somehow forgetting the camera. I always hope to provide you with safety to be you. Because you are worth feeling safe. ✨ ✨ So to all you beauties who don’t know you’re beautiful, or maybe you do and feel shy or unsure about it, I hope you find people in your life who provide safety. And also, I hope I get to document you :)

Families don’t have to match. You don’t have to look like someone else to love them. And it’s also okay to match, too. Family is family, whether you live together or not. ✨ ✨ #nataliebrennerphotography #portlandphotographer #pdxphotographer #siblinghoodlove #kindredmemories #lovemakesafamily #sodoesDNA #familyisfamily #portlandfamilyphotographer #availablefortravel #travelingphotographer #pdxfamily #pdxfamilyphotography

IN THEIR WORDS

"Natalie not only did such a good job with the pictures themselves but the experience was so much fun. She's a fun girl and has a ton of pose ideas for those who are a bit camera shy! Definitely recommend her!!"
