“Our newborn photo shoot was so much fun! Nataly was amazing working with our 7 day old daughter...she is like a "baby whisperer"! Never once did our daughter fuss or cry with her. My husband and I are thrilled with our photos and cannot wait to work with Nataly again!”

“Nataly was very gracious and very professional. We brought our newborn in and she took care of everything. My wife and I were both exhausted and fell asleep. When we woke up, Nataly was pretty much done. The pictures came back beautiful. I love the composition shots as well. She's got an amazing eye.”

I would definitely recommend and hopefully return for my newborn session!”

“5 years later I returned for maternity photos & then photos with all my children once the baby was born. Professionalism is the best, her ability to have a vision & create such amazing shots. She put my baby to sleep for his photos which I can't even do. Happy to have these memories for life.”

Excellent photos, thorough and quick service.
Love working with Nataly! This is our fourth session with her and we love our newborn photos 💗
We cannot say enough wonderful things about Nataly Danilova! From the moment we walked into her studio, we felt so welcomed and comfortable. Nataly is not only an incredibly talented photographer but also such a sweet, kind, and genuine person. Her studio is absolutely beautiful, clean, organized, and provides the perfect atmosphere for such a special experience. What really stood out to us was how much care and attention she put into every detail. She walked us through the entire process before, during, and after our maternity shoot, making sure we knew exactly what to expect. Throughout the session, she gave us helpful tips, guided us through different poses, and made everything feel so natural and effortless. She truly went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. One of the things we appreciated most was how personable she was. It honestly felt like we had known her forever! She made the entire experience so enjoyable, and we never once felt rushed or uncomfortable. You can genuinely tell how passionate she is about her work and how much she cares about the people she photographs. We are beyond grateful that we chose Nataly to capture such a special chapter in our lives. She made our maternity shoot an experience we will always remember, and we already know we will be returning for our newborn photos and future family portraits! Nataly, thank you so much for your kindness, patience, professionalism, and for making this experience so
We had such a wonderful experience with Nataly! She was incredibly efficient and handled everything herself, while being so gentle and confident with our baby.

Nataly was an absolute delight to work with, and we’re so happy with the beautiful photos and the experience overall. We’ll definitely use her for future family photos. Highly recommend!

I just had my shoot with Nataly, and speaking as someone who has been behind the camera many times, she truly knows what she's doing. She was extremely efficient with her photo taking, all the while giving us plenty of time to produce beautiful photos. We are very happy to have found her for our first maternity shoot, and we're hoping for many more to come!
Nataly was absolutely amazing during our newborn session! She was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive with my baby—changing her, feeding her, and using different soothing techniques to keep her comfortable and asleep throughout the shoot. My baby did wonderfully with posing because Nataly made her feel so safe and relaxed. As a C-section mom still recovering, I truly appreciated how easy and stress-free she made the entire experience for me. Her care, professionalism, and natural way with newborns gave me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend Nataly to any parent looking for a beautiful and comfortable newborn photography experience!
Nataly is very professional and knows what she’s doing. Pictures were great and it shows that she knows what she’s doing. Absolutely loved our photo session.
We had another wonderful experience with Nataly for our newborn photoshoot! After having such a great experience with our maternity session, we knew we wanted to come back to her for our newborn photos. Our baby wasn't sleeping much during the session, even after Nataly spent over 30 minutes trying to settle him with swaddling and feeding, which made some of the planned poses more challenging. She was very patient and flexible and adjusted the plan to work with him instead. We ended up with so many beautiful photos, including some really sweet ones with his eyes open. She was also very gentle with our newborn and made the whole experience feel comfortable and relaxed. We are very happy with how the photos turned out and would definitely recommend Nataly for newborn and maternity photography!
I had amazing experience she is very professional I love all of my pictures I can’t even choose all of them are the best thank you so much 😊
The best photographer ever I’m very happy
