About
Portraits, Brands & Weddings
I’m Natali, a photographer living in Austin with my husband and our two kids. Family is where everything starts for me: respect, patience, and the belief that people grow best when someone sees them clearly.
For years my world was education. I taught children for 13 years, studied how people learn and grow, wrote research papers and was published in academic journals. Only when I picked up a camera did I understand what I was really meant to do, and how much I would love every part of the process.
I don’t need a long conversation to understand how someone feels in front of the camera. I notice it, and I make space for it.
Why these two
Business portraits and weddings
I photograph many kinds of sessions, but these two inspire me most. I photograph a lot of women who are building something of their own, and I want them to see themselves the way the people around them already do: capable, real, and worth showing up for. And a wedding is the beginning of a family. Documenting that day means documenting history, the kind a family returns to for generations.
Why “Studio”
More than taking photos
Acerra Studio was never meant to describe a physical space. It describes the way I work. Photography is at the center, but the work goes further: short video, visual concepts, content planning, and helping businesses and personal brands shape how they show up online. Before we start, I want to understand what we’re creating, who it’s for and what the images need to say.
In motion
Clean, honest images
I love clean editorial photographs. No heavy filters, no smoothing, no effects that make you look like someone else. Natural light, studio light or flash, I use whatever the moment needs, and a small film-look camera when a story asks for it.
You won’t wait long
I know how much you want to see your photos, because I feel the same way about my own. So I deliver as fast as I can, and I tell you the timing before we start.
Everything in writing
Every session has a simple written agreement: what I’ll do, what you’ll receive and when. No guessing, no surprises, and everyone feels calm going in.
Who I work with
People who want to feel like themselves
Brands and business. For business owners, personal brands and creators growing their audience. Photos and reels that show who you are and what you do.
Portraits. For any woman who wants to feel beautiful, seen and completely herself. No business reason needed.
Weddings. For couples who want their day documented as it really happened, from a courthouse morning to a full celebration.
Across Austin, North Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville and the Hill Country. I fell in love with Austin for its light, its green spaces and the people who smile at strangers. I shoot on Leica because it’s quiet and honest. It doesn’t change who you are. It shows how you feel.
