introduction

I’ve always loved writing. When I was little I would write little short stories and “movies scenes” that my mom would pretend to love. I wrote more and more short stories in junior high, and then began journaling in high school. I absolutely fell in love with it and realized that was what I wanted to do in the future. Publish my writing, how I’m feeling, and how I live my life for others to read. It’s kind of funny how scared I am for people to read my writing, but I want to be vulnerable to the people wanting to read this.

I also have a big passion for film photography. About a year ago I picked up a disposable camera for the first time and fell in love. I cannot wait to post the beautiful moments and places I’ve captured on here through these pictures.

haha anyways……..

Who am I?

Ah, I’m Natilee Shock. Born and raised in Ogden, Utah. I love Utah and how beautiful it is, but I love traveling and hope to get out of here soon. I like sunsets and film photography and uhhh….

I think the hardest question you can ask someone is who they are, so instead of answering it myself I thought I would ask a ton of my friends. Friends from my past, people I just met, guys from old relationships, people from school. All of them. Basically just asked them all to give me a tbh haha. Their responses? Oh, here you go:

“Sunsets, coffee, little cafes, vintage clothes. You are incredibly sweet in a way most people aren’t. Ur smile and laugh light up rooms and makes everyone want to smile with you. You wouldn’t be you without your amazing style and gentle manner.” -mr
