Natalie Mae

Just try and keep up with Natalie Mae — a yoga instructor and fitness model from San Diego, California. “I was born and raised in SoCal. I love being active and social,” she says of herself. “I’m never not moving. People often call me the Energizer Bunny because of my seemingly endless energy!” Natalie worked with the photographer, Damon Loble, which led to our collaboration. “I first discovered Playboy when I was a kid, and it was referenced in a movie,” says Natalie of her story. “As I got older, I realized what an iconic brand Playboy was and loved when I saw empowered women on the front page!” Since then, Natalie had Playboy on her list of goals as a model. “I thought, only in my wildest dreams would I ever be ‘good’ enough to be a part of [it],” she shares humbly. “My shock and surprise when Playboy wanted to include me was insurmountable. I cried happy tears for days!” For Natalie, posing nude is an act of healing and love. “I love [it] because this practice is what began my journey into self-healing from a very broken mentality of what my body looked like and had to offer this world,” she shares. When she’s not in front of a camera, Natalie is staying active outside. “If I’m not practicing yoga, boxing, hiking, [or] paddleboarding, I enjoy spending time with friends and family,” she says.
