Thank you to everyone who participated in the group buy last weekend!

We are well on our way to starting the senior year and I am so excited! I have photographed 4 of my spokesmodels so far. If you are considering trying to get into the senior market, don’t wait!! Now is the time!!

I have had several emails inquiring about a group buy so I thought I would run another one on the blog through the weekend. To sign up you just need to email me at natalie@photographybynatalieb.com.
If you email me to be put on the list you are agreeing to the group buy, so if you cannot commit then please do not email me. I understand things do come up though!
When we reach 15 the price will be $60.00 and I will email you letting you know that you can send payment.
