Not at all. It was only until I started proving to them that I had potential by things like going on television, appearing in the newspapers, & doing shows that they really saw I had the talent.

Nataliya Najib Khan (Interview)

Name: Nataliya Najib Khan

Nickname: None that I’d like to announce here ;)

D.O.B: April 13th, 1983

Favorite dish: Probably my favorite ever menu is the typical Lahori breakfast of Halwa Puri with Aloo Chanas. Yum.

Give us a brief introduction about yourself?

 Born and raised in various parts of Pakistan, I currently live with my husband and 2 year old daughter in the suburbs of Seattle. I spend my time taking lots of pictures for myself and clients, enjoying the gift of motherhood, blogging about life in general and missing my family back home.

Study background?

I did my Bachelors in Computer Science from FAST in Islamabad.

How did you got into photography stuff?

I grew up watching my dad’s love for photography so it was in my genes but I didn’t realize that till much later. I have always believed in the importance of freezing our memories but it was only in the last 5 years after I got married and moved to Seattle that I was inspired to make somewhat of a profession of this. My husband bought me first DSLR and since then I have not looked back. I love this hobby and profession because it gives us the power to look through that viewfinder and find what looks beautiful to you and just click. It lets us remember memories and moments. And to be able to give others the gift of beautiful memories is one like no other.  

What type of photography attracts you the most? 

My biggest passion in photography is finding beauty in ordinary every day moments, and currently I am extremely inspired by lifestyle sessions. Where people are captured in their own environments, their houses, their own city, doing what they usually do, unposed.
