Darby Natale Photography

Thank you for visiting my photography page!!!! I recently decided to make my little hobby into a part-time business!!! Darby Natale Photography is an on-location natural light photography service. I have collected some props (mostly newborn; backdrops, hats, headbands, knit wraps, baskets, etc) that I offer to each client. Newborn sessions will take place in our home. I have a terrific space for these sessions and I have accumulated so many newborn props, that it is much easier to do these at my home. I strive to make each session fun and unique :-) Due to limited space, sessions other than newborn will be shot on location; mainly outdoors during spring, summer, and fall months. My main photography focus is family, children, babies, and newborns, but am willing to try about anything!!! Unfortunately, at this time weddings are not an area of photography I'm choosing to explore.

I took up photography as a hobby when I bought my Canon EOS T2i in the winter of 2011 and it has just taken off!! My sweet niece, Olive Brea, was my inspiration for getting started:) I'm amazed at how fast word has spread and love that people trust me to capture memories for them.

Below lists the current pricing structure for Darby Natale Photography. Please note these prices do not include 6% sales tax. Cash and checks are acceptable forms of payment.
