Natanis started photographing portraits in 2004 when film was the main format being used for photography services. When digital cameras became more accessible she transitioned over to an entry level DSLR camera and by 2011 she upgraded to her first full frame DSLR professional camera. Natanis offers a full studio set up on location and is also experienced with photographing out doors in all types of weather.
Throughout the years Natanis has been hired to photograph:
Individual, Family and Business portraits
Pet Portraits
Weddings
Local News Stories
Church Events
Signature Angel Bella Children's Portraits
Indigenous Youth Events
Chief's & Council Portraits
First Nation Community Events
Graduation Portraits
Saskatchewan Summer Games
Product Photography
Insurance Documentation
In addition to decades of experience providing portrait services, Natanis is also a journeyman cosmetologist, having achieved her red seal qualification in 1997. These skills have come in extremely handy for ALL portraits, as it has helped to shape Natanis' eye for detail, but it really comes in handy for women's beauty portraits in particular, as Natanis is able to provide hair styling and makeup for those clients who request it.

It depends on the session type.
For sessions resulting in 6 or less images, clients will choose their favourite image during their appointment so they can be edited and delivered asap. Community sessions, Angel Bella Events, School portraits and Portrait Parties are all session types that typically include choosing your image(s) at the session for faster delivery.
For Basic Sessions there is a 3-5 day processing time to cull and edit your images and then they are ready for an in person collection reveal. At your collection reveal you will see all of the edited images and choose your artwork.
For half and full day sessions there is a 5-7 day processing time to cull and edit the images and upload them to a gallery.

A portrait study is a comprehensive examination of a subject including a written and recorded interview process followed by a portrait session at a later date. The interviews are designed to learn all about what makes you you, with a set of questions specific to your photo session to enable me to plan and design your session around who you are and what you like - for maximum results.
Every portrait study includes a digital manuscript of the interview questions and answers as well as physical artwork of your favourite images. You can choose from two portrait study collections, one is paper and the other metal. A portrait study is a beautiful gift for your loved ones, especially for aging parents, grand parents and loved ones including pets (for pets, the owner is interviewed).
