About

Portrait & Brand Photography

I’m Natali – a Ukrainian photographer and visual artist, now based in Austin, working with women, entrepreneurs, and couples across Round Rock, Pflugerville, and Cedar Park.

Before photography, I spent years in education, which taught me how to help people feel at ease in front of a camera – that’s still the core of how I work today.

Every session starts with a short consultation so I understand what you actually need the photos for – not just “nice pictures,” but images that work for your brand, your milestone, or your story.

Why “Studio”?

Acerra Studio was never meant to describe a physical space. It describes the way I work.

I’m a photographer, but the work usually goes further – video, visual concepts, content planning, and helping businesses and personal brands shape how they show up online.

A session is rarely just showing up, taking photographs, and leaving. I want to understand what we’re creating, who it’s for, and what the images need to communicate.

That’s why I chose Studio. It gives the work room to be more than one medium – photography at the center, visual storytelling as the bigger picture.

My approach

I like to keep things simple: good light, real emotion, and enough trust that you forget the camera is there. We’ll talk before we shoot, so the session actually matches what you need – whether that’s a brand refresh, a milestone, or just wanting photos you finally feel good in.

Why I shoot the way I do

I work with Leica SL3 and Q3 43 for stills, and Canon R5 as my fast, reliable workhorse for both photo and video. Different tools for different moments, but the same goal every time: clean color, real depth, nothing overprocessed.

Who I work with

Mostly women, entrepreneurs, and personal brands – plus couples, families, and small businesses across Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, and Georgetown.

People who want to look and feel like themselves, not like they’re performing for a camera.
