. . .but most people call me Nat. I’m a 25-year-old photographer based in central Indiana with a heart for capturing life’s sacred, joy-filled moments.
Photography has become a beautiful extension of my faith — a way to honor the beauty God places in each season of life. I actually stumbled into this calling in the most unexpected way: before leaving for a mission trip to Cuba, I bought my first camera, hoping simply to document the experience. But somewhere between capturing quiet moments of prayer, radiant joy, and the dignity of everyday life, something in me clicked. I never looked back. What started as a desire to remember became a passion to reveal — to show people the beauty God places in their stories.
Whether it’s a joyful wedding day, the wonder of new motherhood, or a senior stepping into the next chapter, I consider it an honor to be invited into these sacred moments.
Alongside photography, I recently returned to college to pursue my RN (one degree just wasn’t enough) — answering a lifelong call to become a pediatric oncology nurse. After graduating from Indiana University and working in collegiate athletics, that dream never left. So now, here I am capturing all the excitement whilst juggling pharmacology and medsurg.
When I’m not behind the lens or studying, you’ll probably find me exploring local coffee shops, spending time in Adoration, loving on my nieces and nephews, or working on my pilates grind at Core Concepts Fitness. I also LOVE live music (bonus points if there’s line dancing), good books, and long walks on the beach (seriously — someone fly me to the ocean for your session!).
While my faith is the foundation of my life and work, everyone is welcome in front of my camera. Whether we share the same beliefs or not, I strive to create a space that is warm, joyful, and deeply respectful of your story. You are seen, known, and loved. So if you’re looking for someone to prayerfully and intentionally capture your season — I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
MY PHOTOGRAPHY PHILOSOPHY
WHERE SACRED MOMENTS BECOME ART
I believe that photography is a way of witnessing the sacred woven into everyday life.
In a world that moves quickly, I feel called to slow down and notice the grace that quietly reveals itself — the tender embrace between a mother and child, the warmth of a shared glance, the subtle gestures of love that often pass by unnoticed. These are the moments in which God’s presence is felt most closely. Through my lens, I seek to honor these moments with reverence, letting sacred moments become art.
My Catholic faith shapes not only the way I see the world, but the way I approach every session. I believe each person carries the imprint of the Imago Dei — the image of God — and my work is to reveal that inherent dignity, beauty, and light. Whether I am photographing a family, a newborn, a sacramental milestone, or a simple moment of connection, I approach each encounter with gentleness and gratitude. I see photography as a form of stewardship: receiving a moment, honoring it, and preserving it well.
Authenticity is at the heart of my art. I do not seek to create perfection, but to reveal truth. The soft laughter, the imperfect hair, the shy smile, the tears, the spontaneous joy — these are the threads that weave together the story of a life. My aim is to capture the world as it truly is: honest, imperfect, and deeply beautiful. When we embrace authenticity, we make space for grace to appear naturally.
The images we create together are meant to last. They are heirlooms — pieces of family history that can be held, shared, passed on, and cherished. Photographs have the power to become anchors: reminders of who we are, where we come from, and how God has been faithful in our lives. Long after a moment has passed, the image remains, preserving the love, hope, and beauty that filled it.
For me, photography is a quiet prayer, a humble offering, and a celebration of the sacred nature of human life. Every session is an invitation to slow down, be present, and honor the gift of time. And in each image, I hope to capture not just what a moment looked like, but what it felt like — a glimpse of the grace that fills ordinary days with wonder.
