Since 2016, I have had the honor of photographing hundreds of couples and families. Nothing makes me happier than receiving an elated text or email after delivering a gallery - knowing that I was able to give you the gift of documenting the connection and beauty in your life! Whether the excitement of being newly engaged, or welcoming your fourth baby, it's my joy to create a comfortable, seamless Minneapolis photography experience that honors each your personality and values.
Photographing your life with honesty & heart.

creating natural
& heartfelt images
At the heart of my work is joy and connection. During your session, we’ll move, play, laugh and settle into the moments that feel most natural. My goal is to create photographs that feel honest to who you are, full of personality, warmth and the kind of emotion you’ll want to come back to again and again.
real smiles, real laughs, real joy
Whether I’m photographing a wedding, family session or milestone close to home in Minneapolis, I’m not just there to take beautiful images. I’m paying attention to the people who matter most to you, making sure everyone feels welcomed, respected and comfortable. The best photographs often come from trust, ease and the relationships already unfolding in front of me.
your people are my people
While I’ll always bring my own creative eye to your day, my approach is shaped by what you want to remember most. I’ll offer guidance when it helps and step back when the moment needs space. Whether I’m photographing a wedding, family session or meaningful season of life, my goal is to create images that feel grounded, honest and true to you.

Our two rescue dogs, Hank and Belle, bring our lives so much laughter and joy (and muddy paws!). When I come to your home, you can count on me to love on your fur babies too!
Being a mom is truly the greatest joy of my life. And, you can count on me to completely understand the chaos of kids during photos! Not much phases me anymore!
I have been married to my husband Jay since 2018 and we spend most of our lives laughing (with and at each other)!

We have worked with Natalie several times over the years to photograph our growing family and every session is better than the last. She is wonderful at engaging with my children and makes each session feel comfortable and fun. We have been blown away with our resulting photo galleries; our family photos are so beautiful and special, we love to display them in our home.

The vendors you hire make your wedding day. My wedding would not have been the same experience without Natalie. She will forever be our photographer - we can't wait to someday take maternity and newborn shots with her when we start our family!
" She will forever be our photographer."
