Hi y’all!

I’m Natalie. Photographer, writer, mother, gardener, and sun-drenched yogi based in Arizona. If I’m not at the Arboretum with my husband or daydreaming about which country to travel to next, I’m likely sipping a spicy Mezcalita while waiting my turn at late-night karaoke. I live in metaphors, hate slow walkers, and am obsessed with cherry tomatoes. I value my family, scrappy dogs, hand-built home, adventurous spirit, and 2017 Subaru Outback. Clearly, run-on lists are my thing.

With over 10+ years working in editorial discourse as a professional writer and freelance photographer — I’m currently Head Editor for Moment and shoot photography campaigns for really rad brands.

What’s ‘The Sunporch’?

A sunny li’l corner of the internet for journal entries, photo essays, & curated lists. Anything from gardening, motherhood, travel, film photography, books, or dive bar recs. It’s the perfect blend of whatever I want to share because I’ve got a lot to say. Grab an aperitif; stay awhile.

Writers are cool, and emails can be fun, I promise! Worst case — you get pretty photos and karaoke clips in your inbox. The support means the absolute world, and I’m so happy you’re here. But if you find any typos, no, you didn’t.
