Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to the Natalie Quilter Photography Blog! My blog is a fun place to see more about what I am working on and to showcase my favorites from recent sessions.  I'll also be announcing special promotions, mini-sessions, and other events throughout the year.

Also, I LOVE COMMENTS!  Feel free to leave comments on any post that I make.  I appreciate them very much and so do my clients.

Beyond the smiles, you will also find something a little extra to read about.  Here you will find highlights of my *favorites* in the Raleigh-Durham area.  Being a wife and a mom of two active boys keeps me on the go and I'm always on the look-out for other great businesses that help make my job as a mom a bit easier!

With my Nikon D3 and the camera on my iPhone, there is always something to capture and I can't wait to share it with you.  I hope you enjoy my blog and thank you for stopping by!

sweet newborn | raleigh newborn photographer

Ok, I have majorly dropped off the blog bandwagon this last month.  I have been busier than ever and it seems like most of my sessions have been…NEWBORNS!  I’ve been loving every minute of it and I will try to post a whole set of my fav’s from my sessions this past month.  I feel so honored to photograph these sweet little one’s while they are so young.  I’m posting some of my favorite close-ups from a recent session.

Stay tuned…this weekend I hope to have up information on holiday specials and cards!

my sweetheart | raleigh nc photographer

My little guy just turned 9 months old!  It has really got to be one of my favorite baby stages.  I had a mini-photo shoot with baby quilter the other day while big brother was at camp.  We had a great time despite his best efforts to get his little hands all over my new Nikon.

session availability | raleigh nc newborn photography

I will be out of the office June 5 – 14th. I’ll be attending a photography workshop out of state. I am so excited to meet with peers and learn more about photography; it should be a great workshop! I hope to come home with a lot of fresh ideas for both my indoor and outdoor sessions.

spring mini session favorites | cary nc family photographer

I wanted to share some of my fav’s from the spring mini sessions. The sessions were a lot of fun for me (a bit tiring too!) and I felt so relieved that the weather cooperated each day. I was so happy to have so many families participate this year! I will definitely make the mini sessions part of spring each year!

family moments | cary, nc photographer

A quick reminder for current clients. I will be “out of the office” from May 2 – 9th. My family will be attempting our first vacation together to Disney World. I couldn’t be more excited! I’m also planning to have a fellow photographer take my families portrait; I have to admit I’m a bit nervous. I definitely enjoy being behind the camera instead of in front of it!!!

Behind the camera I feel like a casual observer and I love photographing something happening between a parent and child that is a bit candid and not completely scripted. These are a couple of my favorites from a recent session at Duke Gardens.

happy earth day! | cary nc family photography

A quick digression from photography news…I just caught the Oprah show (I’m often watching my recorded version very late at night) and I was so inspired tonight! If you didn’t see it today, check out the Oprah website. Here is a link with great tips on recycling and using reusable’s (using less plastic)!

Also, here is a peek from a recent session. These siblings were so much fun to photograph; they did a wonderful job for me and looked absolutely gorgeous!!!
