I'm Natalie, a reportage photographer and writer specializing in lifestyle and portraiture. My passion lies in capturing the confluence of art and lifestyle through the stories of people, brands, and projects. My style blends whimsy and journalism, reflecting a deep love for the outdoors and visual expression.
I have collaborated with notable brands such as Subaru, Airbnb, United By Blue, Urban Outfitters, Travel and Leisure, Chaco Footwear, Madewell, and many others.

While I don't expect to master my craft until I'm old and my camera has given out, I strongly believe in the power of sharing knowledge and guiding those who are just beginning their careers.
