About Nucla Studio

"I believe in the beauty of the documented moment—the light hitting a vintage microphone at the Ryman, the shadow of a canyon wall, and the steel strings of a guitar that’s seen better days."​

 

Welcome to Nucla Studio.

I’m Natalie Norrena, a photographer and maker based in Aurora, Colorado.By day, my world is centered on the meticulous details of medical records. By night and on the open road, my world is defined by a camera and a creative spark. Nucla Studio is the intersection of those two lives—a place where the discipline of detail meets the freedom of the lens.​

 

Southern Soul. Western Grit.

Whether I’m capturing the "hushed" history of Nashville’s music scene or the rugged, wide-open spaces of the Rockies, my goal is to provide more than just an image. I want to provide a piece of a story. Every giclée print in The Archive is hand-signed in my studio, ensuring that the piece you hang on your wall has been inspected and cared for by the person who captured it.​

 

Crafted for the Journey

Nucla Studio isn't just about the view from a distance; it’s about the items we carry with us. From personalized journals that hold your own stories to artisan pet ID tags for the companions that join us on the trail (like my own assistant, Scout), every item in The Studio is designed with intention and durability in mind.​
