About Me
Hello!
I'm Natalie and I am the one behind the camera and the Wild Oaks Photography business!
​
I am a mom to four beautiful children here on earth, and two in heaven. I'm a born and raised Okie, and love living the rural life. Fun facts about me; I have never lived in a town! I'm a country girl to the core and horses, nature, and hard work have always been a part of who I am. I actually have a scar on my bottom lip that I'm pretty self-conscious about because a horse bit me there about 8 years ago. I had to have 8 stitches in my lip! One of my many horse-related injuries.
I'm a lover of classic country music and western movies (Lonesome Dove is an all-time favorite). Jane Austen books/movies, The Lord of the Rings, Phantom of the Opera, Poldark and Outlander are some other works that I could watch/read a thousand times!
My husband, Josh, and I also enjoy gardening and working with our animals on our little homestead. Nature truly is my happy place and a little dirt, mud, & wilderness never hurt my soul. I have a deep passion for caring for the environment and working with nature - not against it. Though I am far from perfect, I always try my best to respect the environment and leave no trace at my sessions. You will not find me popping plastic confetti into the air outdoors where it cannot be vacuumed or swept up. You will also not find me threatening the existence of fragile wildflowers by posing clients in a delicate patch. It is always important to me to leave a location better than I found it and be a good steward of creation.
​
I first picked up a camera while working for the Christian camp (Oakridge Christian Camp) I interned with as a teen/young adult. A passion was born.
Frequently
Asked Questions:
Q: How do you describe your style?
A: I tend to mix editorial (posed and planned) with journalistic and emotive (real and raw). My editing vibes are soft, moody, and film inspired.
​
Q: Do you travel?
A: Yes! I LOVE to travel for sessions. I'm based in Oklahoma, but also visit Colorado, Arkansas, Kansas, Texas, and am starting to explore outside the US for sessions too.
​
Q: What is your turnaround time?
A: Generally, all galleries will be delivered within 2 weeks for portraits or family sessions. Weddings have a 1–3-month turnaround, with a sneak peek of around 15-20 images within 24 hours!
​
Q: Are you pet friendly?
A: All fur babies are welcome to join in on sessions with me! Horses, cows, snakes, cats, rabbits, chickens... if they mean a lot to you, let's incorporate them!
​
Q: Do you offer prints?
A: Yes! Albums are hand designed and prints are professionally done with the highest quality labs. Options to order can be made through your gallery link. Some packages have prints or albums automatically included.
