Welcome to my blog! My name is Natalie Franke and I'm a wedding photojournalist and portrait photographer in the Philadelphia, Baltimore, & DC metro areas!

I specialize in capturing candid moments as they unfold and finding real emotion in each image that I produce.

I love my job & feel so blessed for all of the incredible friendships that I have gained through photography. I'm happy that you've come across my little piece of the universe! Take off your coat & stay a while!

Dan Breuer Photo Shoot

On Friday afternoon I ventured up to Baltimore, Maryland to photograph a sponsored roller blader, Daniel Breuer. Following me on the shoot was my good friend and aspiring photographer Jennifer Sykes as well as my boyfriend Huey with a video camera. Our friend Shannon came along as well to help Dan with his gear and give an added eye to the shoot. Roller blading is so much more intense of a sport than I even imagined. I could never grind down a rail or jump off of a flight of stairs for fun! Normally when those things occur its because I've lost my balance! Haha! I guess that explains why I am always behind the camera!

Some photos from the shoot:







Jennifer & I after the long day of photography!



Friday gave me the opportunity to try something completely new and test out my photography skills! I had such a great time that I might consider trying more new things this year! You'll just have to stay tuned to find out.

Yours Truly,
Natalie Franke

Hey-hey!
Nice shots and nice showing of process too!
What model of Nikon are you using?
I'm the amateur photographer too. I simply have an interest HOW do other young photographers of other corners of the world take pictures. :)
P.S. If my speech isn't so correct, don't be surprised, please! English isn't my own language... :P
