About Natalie Jean
NATALIE JEAN
photographer. writer. vintage enthusiast. typewriter lover. thrift store junkie.
I’m Natalie Jean and I do many, many things. I throughly enjoy photography and in general love to make things. When I can’t be separated from my camera I am most likely crocheting my fingers raw.
I am a recent graduate of UW-Oshkosh with a BA in Journalism and English. I now live, work, and play in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I love thrift stores, and using things that have been used before. The best part is the thrill of the hunt and never knowing what you could come home with.
So far my career path has taken many twists and turns. I worked two years as a photographer for the student run paper at the university - The Advance Titan. I’ve spent one summer printing other people’s photos at the Target photo lab in Oshkosh. I have worked also as a nanny for a handful of families, and I absolutely adore children. I see everything as a chance to play and explore and learn.
I’m newly married to the love of my life - a dorky soccer-playing German teacher named Richard. We are making our life together and are searching out a house in Milwaukee to make a more permanent home.
