“Loved working with Nat! We had a senior photo session with her and she made my daughter feel right at ease. She did an amazing job of capturing her personality. She was open to our suggestions on location, use of props, and including the family dog. Can't say enough about her! Thanks Nat!”

Jo Kirst

“We look through the album and feel like we are right back. You captured it EXACTLY how we dreamed!”

Natalie G

“Nat is not only a fantastic photographer but also a fantastic and charismatic person. She is so flexible with the aesthetic you envision and works hard to make your dream photos come true.

Would 10/10 recommend Nat, we couldn’t have been happier with our choice in photographer!”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Creative Portrait sessions can often be booked last minute, but I always recommend reaching out as soon as possible to ensure you get your preferred date!

  • Getting started is simple! You can reach out through my contact form to begin the process.

    You’ll fill me in on the vision you have for your shoot, and I’ll walk you through the next steps via video call and answer any questions along the way.

  • I prioritize human connection over everything else in my work, and I believe that in order to take photographs that capture real feeling, it is important to click with my clients. Being in front of the camera can be scary and vulnerable, but even more so if you don’t feel seen by your photographer!

    That, combined with clear communication and consistent results creates an unforgettable photography experience for all of my clients.

    There are so many photographers out there that will deliver beautiful work - there is no denying that! So I always advise my clients to pick someone that will not only deliver a gorgeous product, but also a phenomenal experience.

  • 100% YES! I would be honored to be a part of your day (whether that is an engagement session, wedding, or confidence shoot just to celebrate you)!

  • I shoot a mix of film and digital! Every wedding is captured on my Sony A 7R mirrorless camera bodies, but I offer 35mm film rolls on various camera bodies upon request.

  • All of my Sony Camera bodies are dual card slot readers, which means that every photo taken is automatically backed up to a second memory card so there will be a backup in the rare case of a corrupted SD card.

    35mm film is one of a kind and yields gorgeous photos, but there is less certainty in the results. While I have a lot of experience shooting in this medium, it is always a bit riskier because there isn’t a way to duplicate the negatives as you shoot. For this reason, I always capture the same image on Digital as I do on Film in the rare instance we have an issue with development.

    Once your session is complete, I immediately back up your RAW files to an external hard-drive. I also make sure to have your SD cards set aside in a safe place until your gallery has been delivered.

  • My style is often described as vintage, dreamy & romantic. Referencing and being inspired by art and love stories shines through in my work.

    Here’s the short list of the books, movies & music that inspire me:

    • Twilight (Alice & Bella shippers wya)

    • Jane Austen everything

    • The Princess Bride

    • Romeo & Juliet

    • The Great Divide

    • Practical Magic

    • Merlin (Arthur & Merlin obvi)

    • Little Women

  • Yes! Let me know if that is something you are interested in and I’ll send you more information.
