It's my 7 year anniversary!
7 years ago I transitioned into being a full-time photographer and Natalia Anja Photography was born. I wanted to send out a HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported my little business and all of our fundraising initiatives throughout the years.
Our team had an incredibly busy, super supported, exciting and fulfilling 2018. Over the past 7 years, many of you helped us raise OVER $50,000 towards feeding kids in Jamaica, building water wells in multiple countries in Africa, building two orphanages in Liberia, feeding people in our community here in Vancouver and providing them with Get Warm Bundles during the cold winter months.
Because of ALL of the generous support we’ve received over the years, I want to give away FOUR FREE headshot sessions! (Keep reading to find out how you can win.)
Words can’t express the gratitude I have for everyone who has trusted us in capturing their photos and referring us to their friends.
We’re currently working on our re-branding and will be launching that by next month. I’m feeling incredibly fortunate for the growth over the past 7 years. I remember how fearful I was before I started my business and how tough the first year was mentally and financially.
There have been many rollercoaster rides and most importantly so many valuable lessons along the way. Our team has grown and our space has expanded. With that being said, we haven’t changed our prices in a few years so I wanted to send out a note that we will be raising our pricing as of January 15th so we can offer an even higher quality of service. However, we will be honouring our current prices for anyone who secures a deposit before then.
I truly value teamwork and the importance of working with people I love, enjoy and admire!
I wanted to send out a BIG thank you to Chelsea Seabrook for being the greatest Studio Coordinator/Assistant/Second mother/Counsellor/Nurse/Cook/Barista/Personal Life Hacker I could have ever asked for! She’s been working with me for about a year and I feel so lucky to have such a rock star on our team.
HUGE thank you to my amazing friend and my Business Coach Deidre Sirianni for re-inspiring me. I’ve had a pretty intense year with plenty of highs, lows and lots of changes. She’s been keeping me accountable, helping me overcome a lot of personal struggles, guided me through incredible trauma release exercises when I encountered PTSD from my accident and guided me through incredibly valuable business coaching advice. She’s also been helping me work on an exciting new Project I will be launching in the near future.
Super excited to have Laura Ramsay working on our re-branding. Her work is absolutely beautiful, and I’m so excited to be working together!!
And of course, all of the ammmazing hair & makeup artists I have an opportunity to work with. Jaclyn Rinehart, Kahlia Adams, Joanna Leigh, Claudia Pooley, Mikhaila Goyarzu and MÏka - you girls are incredible- Thank you for always making work easy and fun!
