To continue my series of celebrating mums in business, today I want to celebrate Natalia. Natalia is a current client of mine, and we will be launching her newly designed website very soon. Natalia runs a studio from her home in Heywood, and takes photos of babies, children and families, as well as offering maternity sessions. Her photos are so beautiful, and you will be able to see a great portfolio when the site is completed.
Hear all about Natalia, in her own words...
When I think about photography I think about memories. The only thing that will be left after us. This is what helped me to decide that I want to capture those memories for other people. In a beautiful and timeless way.
My love for photography actually started when I was around ten and our family got a cheap compact camera. It became my precious treasure. I didn’t have many photos from my early childhood so being able to have them now sparked a huge interest. I was photographing everything around me, nature, animals and members of my family. I felt a great satisfaction looking back at them. The world around me could be preserved, how magical?!
I did forget about photography for a while as I grew up. I moved to the UK when I was eighteen and sadly life changed my priorities.
Skip to the future, I became a wife when I was 24 and the year after I was already a mum to a little cheeky boy. This was a time when I reconnected with photography, with my son as my model.
I had never known what I wanted to do with my life so it was at this point I decided that I wanted to make photography my future career. So I learned about professional photography techniques, attended workshops and practiced a lot on friends and family.
In 2017 it was time to start. I created my home studio, registered as a business and now I’m creating memories for my clients!
