Who says the ROC can’t be *stunning* all year long? ✨

We love a good downtown engagement session - there are so many hidden gems amongst our city scape that make for epic backdrops. PLUS, how perfect // classic are their outfits? 🤍 What time of year do you prefer for photoshoots (hint: no wrong answers here 🙃)?

Q: What is something interesting / rewarding / surprising about your work?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A: "I think women are participating in a movement where we’re transforming from who we thought we ‘had’ to be or ‘should’ become, into who we most want to be for ourselves.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And we’re creating what we desire in our relationships, for our children, and in our communities and career. We are becoming more of who we are at the most basic, essential core, and we are awakening to our power, our sense of peace and play, and it looks REALLY good on us!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I use the framework that presents itself via Cycle Wisdom - and the intuitive knowing that our bodies are intimately, and quite perfectly attuned to nature's patterns on both the micro and macro levels!"
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
is an incredible personal coach who specializes in helping women discover their vision and values for motherhood and align them with their professional and personal balance. We need women like her more than ever in our corner, and we had such a blast on her branding session!! Head over to her insta and website for more on her services ✨

Jackson has been an intern / assistant with us for a couple seasons now, but we’ve known him for years as a client!

We can’t wait to see all that you accomplish!! 🫶🏼

“Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too.” -Yogi Berra 🤍

Cydney + Dave dreamed up the most perfectly authentic day for their wedding and to enter the next chapter as husband and wife together 🤍 If you remember a couple summers ago we also shot their engagement session right here on (they both share a love for the sport // played professionally and Dave owns ) so it was only right they tied the knot on the diamond too! Such a unique ceremony + reception, from the first look to the favors to the food (yes, garbage plates were had 😍). We’d say it was the ultimate 🫶🏼

POV: finally pulling the trigger on that bo***ir shoot and getting to see yourself the way your loved ones see you 😍

NO better feeling in our opinion 🙌🏼 During every shoot when we turn the camera around and show our clients a sneak peek, the response we get is: “that’s ME?!”

YEP. That’s all you babe.

Whether you’re a bride, single, newly divorced, reaching a milestone birthday, in your “doing it for me” era, or really any other stage of life, bo***ir is one of those experiences that will leave you a different person in all the best ways.

George Eastman Museum is it’s own little slice of paradise 🍂✨

❕NSP FAM❕

We ask that you wrap this sweet family in strength and comfort. Kayleigh, James, their two young children and dogs escaped a fire that has devastatingly taken their home, cars and all personal belongings. Irreplaceable family heirlooms, all their clothing and kids toys, work computers - it was a total loss. Luckily they are safe, and as Kayleigh so eloquently put it, “the most important things in life are not things. It is the people you love, and the memories you make that are yours forever.”

We are leaving a link to their GoFundMe below - anything and everything helps, as their insurance company only covers a portion of the loss, and we can all imagine what it would take to rebuild our lives from the ground up. We love y’all, and know there is always a rainbow after the storm 🤍

“Natalie and her team exceeded our wildest expectations! They brought such a warm, loving energy to our special day, and they took gorgeous photos that captured all of the joy and emotion of our wedding. The turn-around-time was particularly impressive--on the evening of our wedding, they surprised us with a slideshow of some of the best photos, and they provided a sneak peek gallery within 24 hours. They also perfectly balanced blending into the background and taking candids of us being in the moment, with taking control of our big, crazy family and wedding party to keep us on schedule and get all of our must-get-shots when we needed it. They were super communicative, patient, and enthusiastic through the wedding planning process, making sure they understood our personalities and vision. The photos came out beautifully and we will treasure them forever. I can't recommend NSP highly enough!" -Lindsey R.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The SWEETEST words from one of our summer brides 🥹 She hit the nail on the head when it comes to how we bring the stealth when we’re letting the natural moments unfold, but are quick to step in and be directive when it comes to posing large groups or making sure we’re running on time 👀 This wedding day was insanely stunning, so we appreciate another excuse to post more pics (like we need a reason 😍).

We are beyond proud to share that our fearless leader, Natalie, is a finalist for Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce Women's Council, a Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce affiliate 2023 ATHENA International Young Professional Award 💖🙌🏼

This award recognizes “emerging female leaders in the 30- to 45-year-old range who demonstrate excellence, creativity, and initiative in their business or profession and serve as a role model for young women both personally and professionally.” Anyone who has crossed paths with Natalie knows that creativity, demonstrating excellence (not only in the photography sphere, but truly anything she puts her mind to) and empowering women literally seeps from her pores. It’s what leads the NSP brand, our team, and each interaction with every client.

Congratulations to all the finalists // incredible women who have been nominated and inspire us endlessly!! The awards ceremony will be held 2/2/23 at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center and we can’t wait to see you all there 🫶🏼

Drumroll please..... it is our pleasure to officially announce our new Studio Manager and Photographer Nina Piccini! Nina came into my life almost exactly a year ago when she hired me as her business coach through my other business Embolden. I remember thinking how crazy it was that we hadn't already known each other and how much this woman had going for her. We instantly clicked and both seem to know most everyone in Rochester (she actually knows more of y'all than I do!). Nina has a wide skill set including digital marketing, photography, social media, clothing/styling, retail and customer service. Over the course of the last year Nina has lended her many talents to helping get NSP through a studio move, our biggest wedding season of all time, and now a seamless transition of Anna starting the next chapter of her life in MN. She moonlights as Luke Danes when we need to crack open the tool box at the studio, has played with Massi more than once when my childcare fell through, and has fit perfectly into every role we've needed help with since day 1. Nina's energy is infectious and will always greet you with a HUGE smile and frequently an even huge-er Italian hug (watch out, there's two of us now!). We're so excited for this next chapter at NSP with Nina studio manager helm as well as behind the camera. Her first official event is an outdoor Holiday Cheer Mini-Session at a tree farm on December 10th :) Let's all give Nina a warm NSP welcome!!!!

It is with immense gratitude (and a healthy dose of sadness) that after 7 years together, we bid farewell to ! Even though we've had ample time to prepare (years of notice in fact), it seems impossible to imagine NSP without Anna on the team. She's the only person to hold EVERY position in the studio - from intern, to assistant, second shooter, first shooter, retoucher (during ’s maternity leave) and finally Studio Manager (after our beloved moved to North Carolina to pursue her dream of becoming a nurse and stayed on as our Social Media Manager!). We have spent countless hours together, making magic for our clients, laughing and enjoying each other's company. She is the definition of a team player, always making sure everyone has what they need to succeed and always seeing situations from everyone's perspective. She has taken incredible care of our clients for many years and will be missed by all. We are excited to witness the life she is building with her husband Braden and puppy Bingly in Minneapolis, Minnesota - and will be sure to share the highlights of her adventures (hint.... she's starting her own studio called The Imago Studio, and we just know it's going to be incredible!). We'll always be in your corner girl, just like you've been in ours.

P.S. Stay tuned for .by.neen’s introduction!!!!
