Natalie Emerson! I’m overjoyed that Natalie has accepted our invitation to “join the family”, so to speak. I can personally attest to how talented she is because she photographed me, Scott and the kids (no easy task) this past Christmas. The images that she captured for us are so beautiful and authentic, and she was very sweet and patient with our crazy Littles. After getting to know her over this past year, I knew that she would be a great fit. Her love for the Lord, her husband, photography and all things lovely are just icing on the cake.
Natalie recently took the time to answer a few questions for me so that you all can get to know her better. Read a bit more about her below!

1. Why do you love photography? Growing up, I always wanted to be creative but thought that I wasn’t because I couldn’t draw or paint! When I entered high school, I took my first photography class and learned how small my definition of “creative” was! The camera welcomed me to the art world when I thought I wasn’t worthy. I love photography’s ability to accurately represent the reality of what’s front of me while also allowing me to capture the soul of what I’m experiencing. It’s so much more than shapes, color, and light—it’s a way to stop time!
2. What are you passionate about?Wow! I am passionate about so many things! I am really connected to my faith, my prayer life, and my relationship with God. That fuels just about everything else! I am in love with my family—my husband, my parents and sisters, and my HUGE extended family! (I have 45 first cousins!) I also love making just about everything: food, furniture, sewing, painting! If I can get my hands dirty and have an end product that will bring joy to my life or someone else’s life, I will!

3. What are your favorite foods?My mom—an Irish Catholic woman—make the BEST chicken tacos! On that note, I pretty much love all Mexican food!

4. Coffee or tea?Black coffee with pastries or dessert, iced chai in the summer, and hot tea as much as possible!

5. Your favorite lens, and why? I have a Canon 50mm f/1.4 that I bought when I first started shooting and that lens never fails. I love it’s framing, the way it authentically captures my subjects, and how lightweight it is! 

6.  What are you currently reading?I am notorious for reading multiple books at a time, but I’ll narrow it down to the 2 that have grabbed most of my reading attention right now: “The $100 Startup” by Chris Guillebeau and “Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love & Wisdom” by Rick Hanson, Ph.D.

7. What are you grateful for today?My husband—I am grateful for him each and every day. His patience, his love, and the way he carries himself. He is goodness embodied.

8. Where would we find you on a Friday night? I love my friends, so most Friday nights are spent with good friends. We either get together at each other’s houses, go out to a bar or dinner together, or go to a movie, but there is usually lots of deep conversation, many laughs, and great love!

9. Your favorite scripture or quote? “Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peach of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians 4:6-9.
