Welcome to Intimate Witness

I’m Natalie, a Portrait and Performance Photographer lending my lens to the intimate, the loverly, and the soul deep expressive. I have a love of ceremony + birthing processes.

Sensitive + Sensuous

Enchanting + Earthly

Currently I am serving expecting mothers, lovers (couples) and those seeking to deepen their embodiment in front of the camera. Feeling beautiful and a sense of belonging in the body is a fierce mission I serve.

Over the last decade I have created with many artists, helped numerous people (especially femmes) with their fear of the camera or rejection of self. I have found a love of celebrating Art Moms - creatives creating families.

Sensual and empowering healing photo shoots are a specialty. I find photography inherently full of transformational power, and if you love the embodiment side or wish for more energy drenched healing related to visibility or the sensual, a jump over to MysticDare.com may be something for you.

As a healing photographer with a life long study and profession of movement and performance . . .

My magic is seeing deeply and creating a space to experience one’s range. I’m like a fairy godmother with a camera, a high priestess bringing healing energy to the experience of visibility and self discovery.

Portraiture has been a love of mine so long. It is not a vane undertaking in my experience. It is deep learning of self, intimacy, creation, shadow and light. My practice of portraiture goes beyond shallow concepts of self image. My experience of visual mediums point to the energetics of presence and connection. Journeying with portraiture is a deep felt embodiment experience that echos into community. It is a spiritual endeavor. Together we make images with resonance and an honoring of what has come, what is present, and an exalting of becoming. This is an experience and love for holding stories of body + spark as we carry ourselves through time.

Let’s gather to celebrate, grieve, and yield to the magic present. Let’s create stories of body + spark. Together.

yours truly,

Intimate Witness
