I had an A+ experience during my recent head shot session with Self & Soul Photography! Natalie is a talented professional. She created a comfortable and relaxed environment that resulted in a great session and quality pictures! I would not change anything and am looking forward to my next experience!

Kemal, Consultant

Oh my gosh! My photo session with Natalie - Self & Soul Photography was so awesome! I felt like a super model. She is knowledgeable, professional and so supportive. I felt so comfortable. I could really see how much she loves her work and how important it was to her that I was happy....which I am. My photos are beautiful! Such great quality. Thank you Natalie, Self & Soul Photography!

Sonya, Licensed Therapist

Natalie photographs every one of our in-center events here at Stony Point Fashion Park, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our events can get pretty busy, but she continuously (and flawlessly) captures the joyous connections and experiences of each event attendee and vendor. Her perspective and attention to detail are everything you could want out of a photographer, for any occasion. I personally plan each of our events, so it takes a huge weight off my shoulders knowing she is present, capturing every perspective of how the event not only looked, but felt.

Alexis, Marketing Director

Ernisha, President of VA Black Chamber of Commerce

I can’t say enough great things about Self & Soul Photography. Natalie is a phenomenal visual artist who has truly perfected her craft. Her passion for photography shines through in every detail. She’s incredibly talented at bringing your vision to life in full, vibrant color.

Natalie was patient and kind during my kids’ graduation photo shoots. She took great care to make both of them feel comfortable and relaxed, which made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. The results? Absolutely stunning. The quality of the images exceeded my expectations—they’re beautiful, professional and full of personality.

I recommend Self & Soul Photography for any event. Natalie is a gem, and her work speaks for itself!

Trina, Parent of Graduating Student

This is my second time working with Self & Soul Photography. Natalie had done professional head shots for me in the past and they were beautifully done. But when it was time to capture my daughter’s milestone of graduating from college, there was no one else to call but Natalie. My daughter’s photos are phenomenal! Expertly done. Natalie is so patient and attentive. Her eye as a photographer is outstanding, as she pays attention to all of the little details to make your photos original and perfect. Thank you, Natalie for your work!

Williamsburg, Virginia: A Beautiful Senior Portrait Location

September 16th, 2023 was a very special day. The much-anticipated Florence Neal Cooper Smith Sickle Cell Anemia 5K Fundraising Walk took place at Dorey Park, Henrico County, Virginia. It's a beautiful location known for its variety of activities, scenic walking trails and ponds. This event was not just a walk; it's a movement against Sickle Cell Anemia, a disease that affects thousands across the country and millions globally.
&nbsp;
Named in honor of Florence Neal Cooper Smith, a pioneering advocate for Sickle Cell Anemia awareness, this event aims to keep her life's work alive. Smith&rsquo;s tireless work in the field of health, particularly her dedication towards improving the lives of those living with Sickle Cell Anemia, has left an indelible mark. This walk is a tribute to her and the cause she dedicated her life to.
&nbsp;
As participants laced up their shoes and took to the trails of Dorey Park, they not only walked for fitness but also for a cause. Each step taken was a stride towards a future free from the pain and hardship caused by Sickle Cell Anemia. The 5K walk aimed to raise funds that will be directed towards research, supporting those who live with the disease, and most importantly, increasing awareness about the same.
&nbsp;
The Florence Neal Cooper Smith Sickle Cell Anemia 5K is more than just an event; it's a beacon of hope for those affected by the disease. It's a platform that brings together individuals, families, and communities to join hands in the fight against Sickle Cell Anemia. In partnership with the Virginia Commonwealth University MCV Foundation, this event is sponsored and hosted by the Richmond FACTS Committee (Finding a Cure Together 4 Sickle Cell) and the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.
&nbsp;
This years event will be held on Saturday, September 21st, 2024. This event is open to all, whether you are a seasoned athlete, a casual walker, or someone directly affected by the disease. The 5K walk encourages community participation, symbolizing the collective effort required to fight against Sickle Cell Anemia. As board members prepare for this monumental event, the air is filled with anticipation and a sense of purpose. It's not just a date on the calendar; it's a day dedicated to change, hope, and unity. So, mark your calendars and join us as we walk towards a brighter, healthier future at the Florence Neal Cooper Smith Sickle Cell 5k Fundraising Walk!
