When I first met Natalie, she was in junior high. I was her youth pastor. Our first adventure together was at a weekend retreat. At some point during the weekend I decided it would be a good idea to tie her shoes together. From that moment on, she thought I was the coolest person ever. She however, has spent the last 5 years pretending she doesn’t think that.
You see Natalie cares. A lot. But she doesn’t want you to know that. In fact, she’s probably going to get mad at me for typing this. But photography isn’t just about the pictures, it’s about the story behind the photos.
Natalie is one of my favorite people on the planet and my hope is that this story gives you the slightest glimpse into who she is. A silly, awkward, loving, compassionate, imperfect, hopeful, amazing human being.
