It's that time of year again!

Hi friends,
I can't believe summer is already over - it went by far too quickly for me and my family! But, I'm hoping we'll all be able to pull out some sweaters this fall and dare I say, tramp through some snow this winter? Lots of it! Fingers crossed!

I had a great group of students this summer for my photography workshop - we learned a ton and they got to have some fun practicing outside and in the studio. Interested in a photography workshop for your student? Let me know! With enough interest, I'll do it again next summer!

Anywho, for those of you with graduating seniors, this is your reminder that yearbook photos are probably due soonish (earlier for some than others!). Scroll down to see dates for your school.

Fall family mini sessions

The golden leaves are almost here, which means it’s time for my fall family mini sessions in Colorado! 🍁 I can't promise anything, but fingers crossed that we get some great color this fall. I've got several locations listed - all with their own unique flavor of Colorado.

These 20-minute sessions are designed for busy families who want beautiful, heartfelt portraits without the overwhelm. Perfect for holiday cards, gifts, and capturing your kids at this fleeting stage.

Heirloom Films & Photography

Hi! I'm Natasha

I’m a Family Photographer and Filmmaker (and Geologist!). Since 2016, I’ve switched from telling stories of ancient geologic environments to telling stories of families and children. Over the years, I’ve polished my craft like water polishes rock.

Photography is science and light and I think that’s why I love it so much: these are my superpowers.
