how happy you were that day
Meet the Photographer
Hey, there!
I'm Nathalia, the eyes behind the camera. I'm a family and wedding photographer based in Crystal Lake, Illinois. I'm from Brazil and one day I decided to pack my stuff and go on the biggest adventure of my life - starting a new life in another country. Six years later, a husband, a baby boy and a business... here I am still. Loving life and trying to leave my mark in every picture I take. Let me tell your love story!
"Photograph the world as it is. Nothing is more interesting than reality"
- mary ellen mark
I'm all about keeping it real and unscripted. Yup, that's right—I believe candid, not posed photography is where the true magic lies! You see, life is full of raw, authentic moments, and I think it's essential to capture them in all their genuine glory.
When I'm behind the lens, I'm not interested in stiff poses or forced smiles. Nah, I prefer to let life unfold naturally and organically. There's a unique beauty in those unguarded expressions, the little gestures, and the unexpected interactions that make each moment special.
it's the love captured forever
Imagine being able to travel back in time just by looking at a photo. Suddenly, you feel all the emotions you had on that day - the smells, the talks, the smiles - everything comes flooding back. It's not just an ordinary picture; it becomes a special memory that you can keep with you forever. You can relive those precious moments again and again throughout your life.
