Friday Introductions: Hi, I’m a Portland branding photographer!
Friday is a good day for reintroductions! If you post one, send it to me or tag me so I can read about you too :)
I'm Natalie, divorced single mom to 3 boys ages 6, 5.5, and 20 months, passionate about creating safe spaces for all people + also inspiring others towards deep healing + self-acceptance.
I got my first camera in 2014...so that brings us to 8 years of photographing!
My home is filled with plants and essential oils and peace.
I've written + published a few books..
—a children's book called Super Twins Welcome A baby which is about a set of virtual twins (my kids!) welcoming a baby from a different dad. My hope is this book lands on shelves where families aren't often represented but also in the hands of traditional families so everyone is taught not all fams are built the same!
—a grief memoir called This Undeserved Life
—a 30 day reflective meditation journal.
In all I do I yearn to create a safe space for you and for me :) in front of my camera 📷 is a major way I do that, especially for people who are building a brand even when they feel awkward with the idea of photos of themselves — are you next?
