Hi, I'm Nataschia: Originally from North Carolina, I've been photographing and curating since I was thirteen years old. Growing up, creating colorful worlds became my way of making sense of the world around me. That curiosity still shapes everything I do today.

I'm inspired by internet culture, vintage films and television from the '50s through the '80s, and the beauty found in everyday moments. My work lives somewhere between documentary and dreamlike - always searching for honesty, color, and connection.

While I'm based between California and the Carolinas, I've crossed the United States on three road trips with a camera in hand. At this point, the road feels just as much like home.

My Philosophy: When we start, I probably won't tell you how to pose right away. I want to see how you naturally move, laugh, and exist. We'll put on some music, shake out the nerves, and let the conversation happen.

As I watch, I notice the little things - the way the light catches your face, the expressions that feel effortless, the moments that already look like you. Beauty isn't something I create with a camera. It's already there. My job is simply to recognize it.

Once I understand what feels natural, I'll begin to guide you. You'll never be left wondering what to do, but you also won't be forced into stiff poses that don't feel like yourself. Most people think they're awkward in front of a camera - it's far more common than you think. My goal is to make the experience feel relaxed, collaborative, and genuine so your photos feel like you, not a performance.
