Behind the Lens

A photographer who sees what Matters

A man is sitting cross-legged on a trampoline, smiling, while holding a young girl upside down by her waist. The girl, with long hair and wearing a light-colored dress with pink shorts, is laughing and hanging upside down. The scene is set outdoors in a backyard with a wooden fence, trees, and a house with a roof in the background.

A family enjoying a meal together at a table covered with a checkered tablecloth. The scene includes a man, a woman, and a young boy sitting in a high chair, all smiling and laughing. The table has food, dishes, and a cake. Light streams in through large windows with blinds in the background, and wall decor, including a

There’s more to document than milestones. Life happens in the in-between. Through a documentary approach, I capture families in real time—messy, connected, changing, and beautiful. These are the moments you’ll one day miss.

Hi, I’m Natassia

friends call me Tasha

I’m a Memphis-based documentary family photographer and mom of four who understands the beautiful chaos of everyday life.

I know what it feels like to want to hold onto everything while also barely keeping up with how quickly it all moves. That’s why I do this work. I pay attention to what slips by unnoticed: routines, connection, and the in-between moments that tell the real story of your life.

My goal is to preserve it honestly and naturally, without interruption. Just life as it unfolds.

Real life, exactly as it is

I don’t direct life.
I simply observe it.

I focus on connection, movement, and the small details that define a season. Whether I’m in your home or moving through your everyday rhythm, I’m there to document what’s already happening so you can remember it as it truly was.

what I’m up to

A young child with blonde hair, wearing a patterned gray sweater, is standing beside a white dresser, looking at objects on top, in a brightly lit bedroom.

A woman and a young girl sitting on a hammock under a wooden deck in a backyard. The woman is smiling, wearing a black shirt and shorts, and white sandals. The girl is also smiling, wearing a graphic t-shirt and shorts, with arms outstretched. The ground is sandy, with some scattered toys and a fence in the background.

ABOUT YOU

My clients are people who deeply love their families and want to remember what this season of life feels like.

They’re often trying to slow things down while still getting through the day. They wish they could hold onto it all before it shifts again. My work is about giving them that pause and preserving honest, meaningful moments they can return to long after this season has passed.
