ABOUT NATALIE

Hi there! I'm Natalie, and it’s super nice to meet you! I’m a San Diego-based photographer, born and raised in Idaho. I got my first camera when I was 15 years old. While most of my early photographs were of friends modeling in potato fields, I knew I had found something worth pursuing. In Santa Cruz, I studied art and worked with a variety of mixed media, but at the end of the day, photography was still my bread and butter—and I really like bread and butter.

I find inspiration from my time spent outdoors, going through my grandparents' old photo albums, and studying the 20th-century photographers who made this medium the art form it is today. I would describe my work as nostalgic documentary with a touch of editorial. I aim to create images that feel effortless and authentic while still emphasizing my artistic style.

When I'm not taking photos at weddings, you might find me at my retail shop, Timshel, which I co-own with my bestie, or enjoying some quality time with nature!
