Three Years Together!

It was 3 years ago that my incredible boyfriend, Huey, and I started our journey together! We met doing crew at the Annapolis Rowing Club and we've been inseparable ever since! If I had to list all the things that I love about him, it would take me months. When we started dating, we couldn't drive - so we would walk to the beach from my house, carry a blanket, and spend hours staring up at the stars. It was through these hours of sharing our joys, fears, and insecurities that I found my soul mate. 

"The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, 
that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, 
and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever."  
- The Notebook

I love these pictures! Taken just a few weeks ago after a photo shoot, the sun was setting & my friend Krystal offered to take a few pictures of us. It wasn't until I got home that I noticed the cross blurred in the background amidst the colors of the sky.
To celebrate three years together, I had a picture of us from this winter printed on canvas.
The thing I love about this picture is that it was one of those candid moments.
My hair is a mess, we're dressed in sweats - it's just who we are.



I'm really excited to start offering canvas prints like this to my clients as well! =) They have such an incredible quality about them - so true to the original image too! Yay!

Yours Truly,
Natalie Franke
