After teaching high school for 6 years and babysitting, teaching Sunday School and working with young children prior to that I decided that I needed to continue working with children in some capacity.  Before I started my official business I took on watching children from 2 families.  I asked their parents if they would mind if I photographed their children.  I needed to practice with lighting, shutter speeds and apertures in different environments.  I let them know I would share the photos I take with them.  And they were all amazing!   They said "of course".  It has worked out for all :)  They deserve a page because they are just as important.  The kids have posed for me and have become quite the hams.  Often I find them saying, "Natalie, Where's your camera?  Take a Picture!"  lol it's quite amusing. Here are some shots I have taken of them.  I love that they keep everyday tasks amusing and fun.  Yes, in some aspects my closest friends are 3 and 4 year old's. I'm so very blessed :)
