The studio

Creating thevision

I'm Natalie, the founder of Late August. After seven years creating for e-commerce brands, global campaigns and events, starting the studio in 2023 felt like the natural next chapter of a lifelong love of photography.

Late August is built on a simple belief: every story deserves to be documented with intention, whether it's a growing brand, a meaningful milestone or a celebration of love.

Strategic creative direction and an editorial eye, in service of imagery that feels timeless, artful and deeply human. Shaped by Kansas roots, a love of natural beauty and years behind the camera, the work is made with founders, brands, creatives and couples who want visual stories that build trust and last.
