We had the good fortune of connecting with Natalie Schauster and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Natalie, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I had always loved taking pictures it was more of a hobby and people began seeing my work and started to want to hire me and at first I was really skeptical but the more I built my clientele the more my business grew and before I knew it I was a proud business owner!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I think what really sets me apart from other photographers is the way I run my business I do have a job outside of photography working for Tyler Davis Shelter Insurance so I don’t rely on the money I get from photography and I think it’s really important for everyone to have access to great photos to capture great memories I do lots of giveaways and I volunteer a lot to do free photos. I think I am really motivated to deliver great photos and to see how happy that makes people.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family has been incredible every step of the way they encouraged me to establish my business and continue to send business my way and my mom and dad have always pushed me and challenged me and they have been so so supportive!
