I approach every session with curiosity, care, and presence. Your story is more than a series of poses. It might be a couple caught in the wild blur of a wedding day or a senior stepping into a season that deserves to be remembered.
I work with a documentary heart and a guided hand, offering just enough direction to help you feel at ease, then letting the real moments rise to the surface. I’m not here to manufacture perfect. I’m here to notice.
I’m drawn to softness, to blur, to the in-between. I love the way a glance shifts mid-step or how emotion quietly appears before you even realize it’s there. These are the images that stay with you. Not because they’re posed, but because they’re honest.
I'm Natalie!

I fell in love with the cheesiest rom-com movies, therefore you already know I will fall in love with your love story! To be with couples that love on one another is such an intimate experience to me. I love getting to know all my couples a bit more personally.

Some of My Favorite Things
I take a directive approach to guiding my clients. I don’t do prompts nor poses. This way, I am able to show stories that are candid and journalistic even when you do not know how to act around a camera.
I value getting to know everyone that stumbles in front of my camera. I like taking the time to chat first before a session, or maybe even grabbing a meal together outside the time. I intend to photograph the real version of you.
My Philosophy
Heyyy, it's Nat!
I am a huge extrovert that loves coffee, sunsets and the beach. I live in Minneapolis, but I was raised all the way in the PNW: Tacoma, Washington! I graduated from Winona State University in Creative Digital Media, and I minored in journalism, creative writing, and dance! I love writing books, taking jazz funk classes, and flying to new places.
My love for photography actually started with designing book covers! I wanted to learn how to create my own art for books I wrote. By the time I was nineteen, I was photographing weddings.

You're doing great, Sweetie!
Natalie gave us great direction with her prompts and the feedback she gave while taking the photos was hilarious. She made it so easy to be in front of the camera (especially when we were both a little nervous to start!). Oh my gosh I literally LOVE THEM ALL!! I can't wait to see the rest!! I've been smiling and happy crying all day just thinking about this! Thank you so much!!

It's even better than I could have imagined!
"Natalie made my senior pictures feel like an experience. I showed up not knowing what to expect and she took control getting me comfortable with different prompts and correcting things I maybe would have overlooked like my shirt being tucked or my hair flipping. She didn’t make it feel like just another slot in her time she really made sure to prioritize the quality of my pictures and time!
