BOOK

“The smallest moments often become the most treasured memories”

Levantera Photo San Francisco Bay Area Photographer Natalia

Hello there!

I’m Natalia, and I’m happy you’re here.

 I believe the most meaningful photographs come from genuine connection, honest emotions, and the moments that naturally unfold between the people we love.My sessions are relaxed, natural, and focused on helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera.

How many pictures will I get?

Depending on the package chosen, image quantities may vary.
The Classic Package includes 32 professionally retouched images.

Do you retouch the photos?

Yes, all the pictures you receive after the photosession will be edited.
Please check the galleries to see the level of retouching of the images — I do my best to enhance natural beauty of people, and respectfully do not change the shape/size/features dramatically. 

What if the weather is bad?

Don’t worry too much about the forecast. Weather that seems “bad” at first glance often creates some of the most beautiful photographs. Fog, dramatic clouds, or a light rain can add atmosphere and make your images feel even more special.

If you’re concerned about the weather, just send me a message. We’ll review the forecast together and decide whether it makes sense to keep the session as planned, adjust the location, or reschedule for another day.

What should we wear for the session?

I provide styling guidance for every session and can help you choose outfits that photograph beautifully and feel natural to you.

Do you help with posing?

Absolutely. Most of my clients have never been professionally photographed before, and that’s completely okay.

My goal is not to create stiff or overly posed images (unless that’s something you’ve specifically requested). Instead, I focus on helping you feel comfortable and present in the moment. A maternity session should feel more like a relaxed walk with your partner, and a family session should feel like quality time spent together rather than a series of posed photographs.

Throughout the session, I’ll gently guide you when needed — but in a way that feels natural and effortless. Most of the time, you’ll simply be talking, walking, playing, cuddling, or enjoying each other’s company while I document those moments.

Many clients tell me afterward that the experience felt much easier, more relaxed, and more enjoyable than they expected.

Can we bring our dog?

Of course! I completely understand that pets are part of the family, and they’re always welcome to join your session when the location allows it.

If you’d like to include your dog (or another pet), please let me know in advance. This helps us choose a pet-friendly location and avoid places with too many distractions, crowds, or restrictions that could make the experience stressful for your furry family member.
