Her journey as a filmmaker and photographer is deeply rooted in her curiosity and commitment to telling authentic stories of real people and the environments that shape them.

These connections opened doors for her to work as a filmmaker and photographer in the music industry. As her career evolved, she began writing comedy based on her unique life and travel experiences, infusing her work with a playful sense of humor and her love of adventure.
Natalie’s career has taken her across the globe, where she’s shot for various musicians and major brands, including Swarovski Optik, YETI, Samsung, Tecovas, King Ranch, Traeger, Ooni Pizza Ovens, and more. Though her primary bases are in Texas and the U.K., when she’s not on set, she can be found hiking and exploring the world.
She is always ready to travel and embark on a new adventure.
