Natasha Chalker Photography bio picture

Welcome!

Hello! This little space on the internet will serve as a way for me to share updates, sneak peeks, and other happenings with my photography business. I am an on-location photographer located in Enterprise, Alabama. I travel to various locations in and around south east Alabama to capture the lives of moms-to-be, newborns, babies, children and families. It is my desire to capture children being themselves, whether it be silly, sweet, or sassy. Capturing a genuine moment and turning it into art is what I do best! My work has a distinct style and look partly because I choose to use natural light rather than depending on artifical light. I work almost exclusively with natural light meaning no bright flash, no strobes.

Leave a comment and it will be sure to make someone smile!

brandi+trent

I met up with Brandi and Trent recently to capture their quaint and intimate family wedding. We went to downtown Enterprise and scoped out lots of fun spots…before rushing back to the chapel!

Some getting ready shots -

First glimpse of each other -

Trent decided to ditch the socks -

And there it goes -

Trent, showing off his artistic side -

Father of the bride says he’s all out of money  :)

Thank you, Brandi and Trent, for allowing me to capture the start of your new life together. I pray God’s blessings upon you both as you begin life as husband and wife.

time flies

when you’re busy being a baby. I couldn’t get over how much this sweetie has grown in a year!

At her newborn session last year

And now – wow!

A few fun vintagey shots

All she really wanted to do was drive the golf cart anyway.  :)

I cannot stress how priceless photographs of your children are.  So many people say they rarely take pictures of their kids. What?? You can’t remember every event, milestone, and age. Don’t put off picking up your camera or booking a session (with anyone, doesn’t have to be me but of course I’d love to meet those you love and cherish). Your children will thank you later – and so will your grandchildren.

August 14, 2010 - 4:13 pm Patsy - I couldn't agree more!! Photos are priceless (and memories are faulty). Hoping I'll get some of my photos soon :) You do beautiful work. Love you.

thank you

to Conner and Keith’s daddy for his service to our country. He is currently deployed and I was proud to be able to do a complimentary session and album for this great family through Operation Love Reunited. It’s not every day that I’m greeted with huge hugs from such strong boys.

Check out those muscles -

Such expressions – and cheeks!

With Mommy, whom I admire for her strength and dedication to her family.

there’s a new little princess in town

and she’s gorgeous!

Mom is doing a shabby chic nursery so I did some soft, prissy processing on these that I think will go beautifully in her room.

In between cat naps, she did this entire animation show – lots of sweet and funny faces. I was tempted to her home with me!

My summer has been busy – not much time for pictures because we (my family and I) have been on the go so much. I’ll be sharing some of that later…

August 4, 2010 - 11:35 am Lauren and Justin - She is just perfect! Such a gorgeous girl! Love that hair and those LIPS! Good job Momma and Daddy - and great pics Natasha! :)

August 4, 2010 - 6:33 pm Natasha - Thank you Lauren and Justin - she's just perfect in every way!

sugar and spice and everything nice

that’s what sweet baby girls are made of…

Of course, Hannah was no exception.

Hannah’s mom makes hand knitted hats and baby props which is one reason why we tried out so many different hats and extras. Let me know if you’d like her info and I’ll pass it along to you. She’s very talented, as you can see. :)

We just couldn’t resist with such an adorably sweet model. She did amazingly well at 5 days old!  

any day now

a new baby girl will be making her appearance. I’m quite certain she will be gorgeous – just look at her Mama!

summer has arrived…

…and it’s my absolute favorite season of the year. I love waking up and forgetting what day it is because most days the kids and I have nothing we “have” to do. We are certainly enjoying some well deserved down time. We were at the beach last week and all the cousins got together for a quick photo shoot – or an attempt at one at least. The “babies” are 17 and 18 months old and to say they are quick is a huge understatement! We had to be equally as fast with treats and bribes but in the end it was all worth it since they earned ring pops – every one of them! :) Candy makes all kids happy, right?

I told my mother in law I wanted to get a shot of the babies naked in the sand. Of course they sat for about 1.4 seconds as you can see here -

I like this in a vintage wash, too. So sweet!

And summer isn’t summer without fresh cherries. I put some in one of my grandmother’s old mixing bowls, again in a vintage wash just because.

I noticed these ants a few weeks ago with an enormous treasure – a corner of a dorito. As they carried it away down my driveway, I ran inside to get my camera and nearly missed them. Apparently, they are quick, like toddlers!

Fun!

I had an awesome time photographing Mandy and Casey’s beach wedding in Destin last weekend. It was such a casual wedding, very laid back. Everyone had a great time – and that’s exactly how weddings should be! I felt honored that she asked me to photograph such a memorable event in their lives. (And I still only do weddings a very limited basis)

Casey reading a letter from Mandy.

Her dress was stunning.

Beautiful!

Their first time seeing each other all prettied up.

The wedding location was amazing. Tons of spots for gorgeous shots like this one. Wow!!  

One of my favorite shots of the day.

Sisters, in case you couldn’t tell.

Mandy’s boys had important jobs as part of the wedding party, too, as you can see here.  Mr Ringbearer took his job very seriously.

Some random vactioners that wanted a photo with the bride. Fun!

My other favorite shot

The lighting was bright and did I mention hot? But so much better than rain anyday!

Family!

I did a vintage process on the next two pictures, for fun. Casey and the boys – so sweet!

A random white fluffy dog on the beach looking for some love.

“I”ll be right there (at the reception) once I clean the sand out of my baby’s crack”  :)

Ahhhh, sunset!

Yep, they jumped into the pool in their wedding attire – all four of them!

Mandy, Casey, Brunson, Pittman – you guys are awesome! Blessings to you all as you start your new family and your life together.
