Natalie Walczak About

Greatest human on Earth

Ciapek and Me

Ciapek (cha-peck) was my giant German Shepard who sadly had to go to sleep in April 2020. We were best friends and though we lived far from each other for the majority of his life, we always knew we'd see each other again.

I was born to two Polish immigrants. In 2007, I moved to Missouri where I lived until the end of high school. There, I was enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Diploma program. In 2018, I moved back to Michigan and have been enrolled in Macomb community College since 2019.

Taken by a local photographer, Kamilia, a few years ago. Fun fact: I suffered a corneal abrassion ten minutes into this photoshoot!

I am an illustrator, photographer and graphic designer who has designed for primarily small businesses. My illustration work is often commissioned for personalized mugs. I specialize in landscape and pet photography, however I know the real money is in “people photography”.
