Her cousin wanted to try his hands on photography, and Natasa became the subject, as he had called her. In her words:

"So, we clicked a few pictures which I posted on Facebook. And at that point of time, there was an agency in Serbia and I had them on my list. So they saw those pictures and they were like, 'Are you into modeling?' I was like, 'Why not?''
