“THE ONE ABOUT NATALIE”
DETROIT BASED PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
HOME
EPISODE 001
The home I grew up in has always been decorated in photographs and home videos fill old DVD cases that we pull out on special occasions or on the days we just feel like reminiscing. Those home videos feature my face smooshed up against our family’s 90’s camcorder asking, “can I have a turn?” I wanted to capture the simple moments that made my childhood house a home. Christmas mornings, asking my parents to kiss for the camera while my dad opened up his Father's Day gifts and my little brother learning to crawl in the kitchen; my parents cheering him on in the background. Looking back now, I am certain that documenting joyful memories has always been meant for me.

EPISODE 002
When I don't have my camera in hand, you’ll find me at local coffee shops, bookstores, on weekend getaways with loved ones and binging on self care. I love hosting girls nights, reading fantasy books while enjoying my morning coffee and constantly romanticizing New York City. At 30 years old I find that my coffee requires less cream, thrifting 90's home decor brings me so much joy and I will always stand behind this: Ross and Rachel were NOT on a break.
MUST WATCH ROM COMS
EPISODE 003
The inspiration behind my work comes from a perfectly brewed combination of fictional 90’s relationships; Jack & Rose, Harry & Sally, Ross & Rachel and a deep love for old home movies filled with unfiltered moments and real feelings.

POSSESION
EPISODE 005
My most prized possession is not that of a material item, but a home video of my Grandma Diane, who has since passed. She is dancing with me in the dining room, unaware that my papa has the video camera. She doesn’t feel so far away every time I watch it and while melancholy, I am so blessed to have this piece of her. Time & time again I am reminded as to why capturing my own special moments has had a tremendous impact on my life and I am ever so certain that I want to spend my life giving that gift to others.
