I finally got some images to display from a friend whom I consider to be the best portrait photographer in the Twin Cities! Wow, obtaining the permission to show these shots was difficult enough, I can't imagine how far out her clients have to book her! Her name is Natalie Finazzo and she has been behind the lens since she was in grade school. Natalie creates images that display the full gambit of her varied talents - exquisite design sense, tangible compassion for her subjects and complete mastery of lighting techniques. I had the chance to get a few moments with her recently to talk about why she loves her work so much.-
I enjoy the challenge of getting to know my clients, learning what is unique about them and/or their children and capturing that. The anticipation of new parents with a little one on the way, the tiny features of a newborn, the curiosity of a 6 month old, the exuberance of a 4 year old, the love that a family shares, the independence of a graduating senior, the diversity of actors, and the glamour, simplicity and romance of a wedding...I simply can't get enough of it all!
As you can tell, this is one serious woman who pours that passion out in front of the camera. Not only is Natalie a serious player in the world of portrait photography, she also cut her teeth in the world of photojournalism working in print media. If you are looking for a dedicated and talented professional to capture an upcoming moment in the story of your life, you have to talk to Natalie!
