When I was young, I would spend a lot of time looking at the photographs in National Geographic Magazines. Of course one image that stood out was the photograph of Sharbat Gula by Steve McCurry. Images like that made me want to be a National Geographic photographer too. I got my first camera when I was about 13 years old. Documenting people was and is interesting to me. I imagine that is because I am interested in people and love hearing their stories and documenting them.
After I graduated from school, I moved to NYC to do an internship for Maria Robledo. She was one of the pioneers of the the natural light photography movement for food and editorial photography. In recent years, I have combined my love of photography and chocolate to photograph chocolate makers, chocolate festivals, cacao farms and people involved in chocolate.

Too often we photograph poses, not people. My goal is to take photographs that show personalities, memories and emotions, not poses. Do you need someone to photograph your festival, event or origin trip? I would love to talk with you.

We’re always so grateful to photographers for capturing artists in their natural habitat, and Nettie’s warm presence clearly shows through the images of Site Festival 2024. It takes a special eye and personality for people to feel comfortable in front of the camera, and Nettie captured some really beautiful moments for us, which are invaluable
Amazing visuals as ever Nettie 🤩🤩🤩
How can you catch so many people sparkling! 😮😮😮 this is so amazing!
Love the groove and warming “oh so feelin good” vibe 😃.
I loved the tasting. I didn’t realize how little I knew about chocolate. We used to eat a lot in book club and talk about it. I thought I knew about chocolate but I learned a lot. Your class was social and educational.
Thanks so much for the lovely talk – you are a natural speaker and so engaging. It was really brilliant. You are very animated.
We want you to do it again. Everybody enjoyed it.
That was fun.
