Hi! I am Natalie, but my Mamaw calls me Newt. I live in Akron, Ohio. I love traveling and living life to the fullest. When I am not behind the camera at a concert, I am out exploring with the love of my life, my two boys and our dogs. We love strange and obscure things. I collect shiny rocks and crystals, my favorites being Labradorite and Fire Quartz. I also collect bones, and dried flowers, and I love owls, snakes, bats and octopus.

My main area of photography centers around live music. Growing up I was surrounded by music everywhere I turned - my family had a garage band that did jam sessions for the neighborhood and friends every Friday. I took piano and voice lessons growing up – there wasn't anyone in the family that wasn't involved in music in one way or another. So naturally when I began my photography career live music was at the forefront of my focus.

My secondary area of photography centers around living life – strangely. Have I mentioned how off the wall weird I am? Worry not dear stranger, it is about to get weirder. I love doing crazy stuff.  Photo shoots in abandoned locations? Check! A shoot where you're hiding a body in the woods?  Check! Blood, gore and nastiness? Check! When you want to get weird, this photographer isn't shy unless you want to have small talk.

But I do normal stuff too! Graduation photos? I got you. Family portraits and group sessions?  Absolutely. Take me on your family vacation to capture your family moments?

Crazy – but I am here for it.
