It's fitting that Natalie would be the first person to whom I ever write a testimonial. Let me explain why. My life has changed very much since I first saw her photos about a year or so ago. However, I can look at the things that she has made and they give me this feeling… this physical feeling that wells up in my throat and twists my stomach around. It's hard to identify. Maybe it is an extreme nostalgia for perhaps a life that I did not get to live, a life that I missed out on or grew away from. To me, Natalie's photographs are youth embodied. When I look at them, I feel as if I can see inside her head and I am given the rare chance to escape my own world and fall into hers, to see life through her eyes. It's hard for me to find words to describe what her work means to me, with all its delicate youth and quiet intensity and blind passion. Although I am one of many, Natalie, I want you to know that your work truly makes a difference.

natalie, your photos are like dreams. the lovely sort of dreams, which show the world through beautiful rose-tinted glasses, but are also haunting with their twist of specter-like beauty. in the recent weeks i think your photos have come a really long way and are better than ever before, which just shows how you are s… Read more

Natalie's photos have such a creative, ethereal, edgy feel to them. It's the mark of a great photographer when I know whose picture it is right away, but at the same time it looks completely different than anything I've seen from them.

Natalie's photos have such a creative, ethereal, edgy feel to them. It's the mark of a great photographer when I know whose picture it is right away, but at the same time it looks completely different than anything I've seen from them. Whenever I'm in need of some creativity or inspiration, I head right over to Natalie's stream. Keep going, no matter what. You will do great, great things.

You inspire me to become a better photographer.

It's about a year that I wanted to write a testimonial for you but never felt up to. Every single picture of yours encloses perfection and beauty that it's a pleasure for eyes to watch. I look at your photostream atleast once a day. I'm addicted to your photos :] -Osanna

December 4, 2010

okay so time for an edit: your photography is amazing. your SOOC's always blow my mind. one day I hope to be as talented as you are. I mean, your film is insane, and your digital/365 is always breathtaking. you have such unique ideas, and you are very talented. everything on your stream is an inspiration to me.

you work that camera like magic and are one of the most creative photographers I've ever seen on flickr. you were one of my first inspirations when it comes to photography, and I thank you for that. keep being amazing. -megan

October 18, 2010

Natalie is talented. In the true sense of the word. She is one of my biggest inspirations, and she takes beautiful photographs, but also photographs that aren't strictly beautiful but are moving and raw and extraordinary.

Natalie, I know many people have told you about your brilliant ideas in photography, but now I have to tell you myself. Mostly because you motivate me a lot, and that's a very special thing for me, to see your perfect work each upload, each day you try a new series , a new "style", It encourages me to carry on and try to make somekind of art with my photos , as you do. It's hard to explain feelings when I see your pictures (I have problems with expressing in English and my feelings about your work are indescribable), but I'll say you fascinate me. I told everybody I know about your work. You are an incredible photographer, and that word had been made for you my dear.

you are amazing, one of my favorite flickr photographers. everything you take is so unique. your work is so original and inspiring. you are so very talented. my god, Natalie, how do you do it.

September 25, 2010

your work is intensely refreshing. you have such a diverse stream, which is both intriguing and creative. you have a way of using all aspects of photography and not limiting yourself to one thing. you're an inspiration and i never get tired of seeing your work. =)

I have not written a testimonial for anyone in a good while, but I feel the need to write you one. Your work often leaves me contemplating how one mind can be filled with such astounding ideas. You are truly genuine and I don't see many photographers around who capture moments like you do. You're going places.

September 14, 2010

a stream i will remember forever.

September 12, 2010

i honestly don't know what to write that EVERYONE already knows. natalie, you create magic with your photos and i think thats the best you can ask for in a photographer.

September 8, 2010

Where do I begin. Natalie is one of the main reason I started getting into Flickr. Plus, the sun loves her and her photography always come out fantastic!

August 12, 2010
