A Smokey Day on Flathead Lake in Summer of 2017
Natalie Burno
I spent the first 20ish years of my life in a small town in Southern California. From the time I can remember anything, I can recall my dad and grandpa with cameras in-hand. As soon as I was big enough to hold one too, I was. My love for Photography only grew with the years. My senior year of High School I was introduced to Graphic Design. I quickly realized that my love of Photography had some competition.
February 29 of 2016 (yes, it was a leap year), I set off from California with a very loaded down Jeep to move to Northwest Montana. I arrived March 2, 2016 - 4 days short of my 21st Birthday (March 6). I’ve been here ever since. Learning and growing in life and craft.
I’ve dreamed of living in Montana since around the time I was able to hold a camera and use it. I moved having never been before. I believe Jesus called me here. I believe he made me for this place and the people in it. And boy, am I glad for it! I still pinch myself on the daily. I am beyond thrilled that this is where I get to do life.
I love all-things outdoors and Montana is definitely a playground in that sense. I’ve never felt more at home in a place. It would take several lifetimes to explore it all, and I get most of mine to do just that - explore.
I built this site to serve as an online portfolio. Thanks for reading and checking out my work. Please reach out via email (on the “get in touch” page) for pricing/job inquiries. My instagram is linked at the bottom of each page as well, so make sure you check me out there, too!
Cheers!
