Natalie of Self and Soul Photography took care of me from the beginning to the end. She made the process convenient and assisted in coordinating a makeup artist prior to the shoot. She is very patient and knows how to capture the best. Try her for sure. You won't be disappointed.

Pamela, HR Professional

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

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

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 Students

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

This Christmas set was more than a holiday design &mdash; it was a full-circle moment. 💞
&nbsp;
Created in my in-home photography studio serving&nbsp;Ashland and the greater Richmond, Virginia area, this custom Christmas set was designed at the request of a returning client. I first photographed her maternity session, capturing the anticipation and joy of welcoming new life. Just three months later, she returned with her newborn for a family session to create holiday memories.

A Christmas Set Close to the Heart ✨🎄✨

At Self &amp; Soul Photography, I recently had the joy of photographing a breathtaking&nbsp;birthday portrait session at Crystal Hill Gardens in Mechanicsville, Virginia. This hidden gem, known for its peak bloom season in&nbsp;July through August, is the perfect outdoor location for portrait photography near Richmond, VA.
&nbsp;
The session featured&nbsp;Colette Rivers, a successful real estate agent who wanted to celebrate her birthday in style. She arrived in a flowing, shoulder-less&nbsp;fuchsia chiffon gown, paired with a&nbsp;gold flower crown, and looked absolutely regal. Surrounded by vibrant flowers and lush greenery, Colette radiated elegance and confidence&mdash;like royalty in the heart of the garden.

As the light filtered through the trees, the scene came alive&mdash;Colette&rsquo;s vibrant dress contrasting with the rich greens, her crown shimmering like sunlight itself. Each image captured not just a milestone birthday, but also the spirit of a woman embracing her beauty, strength, and the joy of new beginnings.

The combination of Colette&rsquo;s radiant wardrobe, the natural setting, and her joyful spirit created a magical atmosphere. Every photo from this session reflected both the beauty of the location and the uniqueness of the milestone we were celebrating.

We were warmly welcomed by&nbsp;Stuart Williams, the owner of Crystal Hill Gardens, whose hospitality made the experience even more special. His beautifully maintained gardens provided countless scenic backdrops, from colorful blooms to shaded pathways, that brought Colette&rsquo;s vision to life. This session was a perfect reminder that&nbsp;location matters as much as styling in creating timeless portraits. Crystal Hill Gardens provided a magical setting that elevated Colette&rsquo;s birthday shoot into something unforgettable. If you&rsquo;re looking for a breathtaking outdoor setting for your portraits,&nbsp;Crystal Hill Gardens is a place I cannot recommend enough&mdash;and I&rsquo;d love to capture your next milestone moment there.

A Royal Portrait Session at Crystal Hill Gardens
