⭐ MEET NATASHA, OWNER OF NPS PHOTOGRAPHY (https://npsphotography.com/):

Natasha started her business in 2013 as a posed newborn and family photographer. She went from an in-home studio to opening a 1,000-square-foot studio space in North Carolina.

In late 2019, Natasha began transitioning her photography business to Washington, DC and began offering in-home lifestyle photography - a HUGE change. In the midst of a worldwide shutdown, Natasha continued to expand her lifestyle photography offerings and made the move to living full-time in DC.

With her background in education/teaching, it was a natural transition to start offering mentoring to other photographers. Natasha launched a course at the end of 2024 and in 2025 will offer retreats in her Palm Springs home.
