Summer is my favorite time to do family sessions, but this year I did sessions well into late November and the photos came out beautifully.

Natalya DeSena Photography: My Interview with Boston Voyager

January 8, 2019

“Natalya was the perfect choice for our wedding! She took the time to meet with us on several occasions prior to our big day and scoped out multiple locations in order to capture our special moments. We live in California and we thought the time difference would be an issue with communicating but she didn’t miss a beat or an email. She was never intrusive and was super flexible throughout the whole experience. Natalya is passionate, thoughtful and truly gets to know you. We absolutely loved working with her”

Kind Words from Our Clients:

November 14, 2018

I cannot recommend a better photographer than Natalya! She has a natural talent that is simply breath taking! Natalya is very professional, personable, organized, detail oriented, and stays true to her style—which is amazing! I have never felt comfortable in front of the camera and she made the whole experience fun and easy! Natalya gave great direction during our wedding party/family photos without being bossy. She has a very kind demeanor that made everyone comfortable throughout the whole process. I was blown away from the photo previews I saw within days of our wedding! Natalya is incredibly talented and I highly recommend her!
