Hi, I'm Natalie
Storyteller, light chaser, and forever curious.
I’m based in a charming old craftsman style home just west of Milwaukee, where the morning light through my kitchen windows makes my artist heart flutter. My background in architecture, art history, and literature fuels my passion for meaningful composition and visual storytelling.
I’m endlessly inspired by romance, real connection, and the beauty in everyday details—like thunderstorms, dresses that dance, and laughter you feel in your gut.
While naturally a quiet person, I love to travel and try new things that test my strength and courage like hiking the beautiful landscapes of Ireland or swimming with whale sharks in the Caribbean.These days, when I’m not photographing beautiful souls, my latest adventures include being a new mom, learning new recipes, or planning my next home DIY project.
I believe in telling stories honestly, beautifully, and with heart. I’d love to help tell yours.
My Philosophy
At the heart of my work is a love for people and the stories that shape them. I believe photography is more than a service—it's a way of preserving emotion, honoring connection, and celebrating the beauty of the present moment.
The name Three: Seventeen Photography comes from Colossians 3:17: "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus..."To me, this is a reminder to create with purpose, gratitude, and integrity—to use the gifts I’ve been given to serve others with joy.
Every session is an invitation into someone’s most meaningful moments. I don’t take that lightly. It’s an honor to be trusted with your memories, and I pour my heart into capturing them with care and intention.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How would you describe your photography style?
I’m a natural light lifestyle photographer with a love for honest emotion and candid storytelling. I focus on those quiet, in-between moments that truly reflect the heart of your day.
Q: When will we receive our photos?
Turnaround is typically 4–6 weeks during the off-season and 6–8 weeks during peak season. But don’t worry—you’ll get sneak peeks ahead of time to hold you over!
Q: Can we share our photos on social media?
Absolutely! Please feel free to post and tag away. Just make sure not to alter or apply filters to the images—your photos are already edited with care to reflect my style.
Q: What’s in your camera bag?
I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark IV and a Canon R5 paired with a variety of prime and telephoto lenses to ensure beautiful results in every kind of light and setting.
Q: Do you deliver raw or unedited photos?
I don’t provide raw files. Part of the storytelling process is the editing—it’s how I make the images feel like you. You'll receive a curated gallery of fully edited, high-resolution images.
Q: How many wedding photos will we get?
It depends on your coverage, but I usually deliver between 500-800 beautifully edited images that tell the full story of your day.
Q: Any advice for making the most of our wedding photos?
Yes! Choose locations with great natural light—think bright rooms, big windows, or outdoor spaces. Tidy up your getting-ready space, skip the neon DJ lasers, and focus on being present. If you say “I do,” the rest is just details.
