Capturing Memories with Natuski Photography

Our family photo
Taking family photos has never been an easy task for me as I am the main photographer for the family. I was really excited when we were offered a photo taking session with Natsuki Photography. It was a great opportunity to have the kids photographed with the extended family and both grandmothers.
We arranged for the photography session to take place at Hort Park on Mother’s day as it would make it an extra special for all the mothers that day. It would be a treat for both grandmothers to be photographed with their grand kids by a professional photographer.

Blowing bubbles
The kids loved blowing bubbles and within a short while finished up all the bubble solution which Natusuki brought along. Even tiger girl had her fill of blowing bubbles with her brothers.

The kids playing with apples and bubbles
The kids were having lots of fun playing with the bubbles and other props which they have brought along. Her style of photography was more of a “capture the natural side” of the kids and their enjoyment in play. She didn’t give many directions and left it to the kids to be innovate and come up with their own poses. You should have seen the boys using the apples as cannon balls and using them as “bowling balls” throwing them all across the lawn.
I found that she was quite reserved and didn’t really know how to converse with the kids so I gave the kids my own pointers on how I would like them to stand for the pictures to help her along.

Tiger girl enjoying herself blowing bubbles.
I love that she was able to capture the gleeful expressions on Tiger girl’s face while she was playing with bubbles. She was thrilled to bits and really enjoyed herself blowing bubbles. It was the first time that she had successfully blown bubbles on her own and it was a real fine achievement.

Mum, Sis and Mum in law
I’m glad that the grannies and aunt had fun at the photoshoot. I love this shot of the three of them taking a breather on an enormous chair in the park.

My mum and me
A rare shot of my mum and me together. Doesn’t she look young for a 64yr old grandmother?

Together on a long bench
Both grandmothers and aunt with the kids posing for the camera. It surely took a lot of effort to get everyone to look at the camera at the same time.

Doggie boy with R
The kids spotted this metal swing at the park and immediately gravitated towards it. They had so much fun swinging on it while Natusuki took some shots. Love the different expressions that both R and Doggie boy have on their faces.

Our whole family
A priceless shot of everyone looking at the camera together.
In all we were very satisfied with the photos that Natsuki had taken and would certainly recommend her services if you are looking to take family photos too.

I love the photos of you and your beautiful family. The shots of Tiger Girl blowing bubbles are perfect, and yes, your mother looks amazing and so like you. I’m glad you were happy with the professional photograhper. It must have been quite a task for her to capture everyone.

It’s so important to capture the generations together like this. I love how the photographer got in close and caught the emotion on your daughter’s face. What are you planning on doing with these great shots?

Your mum does look young for a 64 year old. You just revealed her age. Love that fairy tale effect of the photos and really captured lots of happy moments with the family.

It’s nice to have a pro do a shoot –give the normal family photographer a chance to get in some photo’s too =)

How beautiful!!!! I love all of the pictures you share. It’s always amazing when you bring in more than the “immediate” family to create memories. Such a talented photographer, and beautiful muses 🙂

These turned out so great! I love how bright the colors are. The right photographer makes such a difference. I was just looking at my daughter’s soccer pictures from fall and spring and the washed out colors in one set look so dull compared to the ones with brighter colors. This photographer did a great job. The candid shots are adorable!

These are all great photos. I love natural photos rather than still portraits. I can see my two boys tossing the apples every where too. Thank you for sharing your wonderful family with me.
