Late August is a published creative practice specializing in long-term brand retainers, campaign production, editorial portraits and intimate weddings and elopements.

Whether partnering with brands to build a lasting visual identity or documenting life's most meaningful celebrations, Late August approaches every story with intention, artistry and an editorial eye.
Hi, I'm Natalie, founder of Late August. After more than seven years creating for e-commerce brands, global campaigns and events, starting Late August in 2023 felt like a natural evolution of a lifelong passion for photography. I built this business from the belief that every story, whether it's a growing brand, a meaningful milestone, or a celebration of love, deserves to be documented with intention.
By combining strategic creative direction with an editorial eye, I create imagery that feels timeless, artful, and deeply human.
Inspired by my Kansas roots, a love of natural beauty, and years spent behind the camera, I partner with founders, brands, creatives, and couples to craft refined visual stories that build trust, evoke emotion, and create lasting connection. From brand campaigns and editorial content to weddings and intimate celebrations, every project is approached with equal parts artistry and strategy, resulting in imagery that authentically reflects the people and stories behind it.
