Bryanna's Senior Session

For anyone who has misconceptions about the amount of fun that you'll have on a Senior Session - Bryanna is here to prove you wrong. Between meeting a crazy group of seagulls to having a snowball fight, this was one of the most enjoyable sessions that I've had all year. Bryanna is smart, funny, and absolutely beautiful! She is such a natural in front of the camera and made this session one of a kind.

Downtown Annapolis was decorated for the holidays! :) It made for quite a beautiful backdrop.

We decided to explore and found a cute little pier overlooking the water...

Unfortunately, a group of seagulls thought that we were going to feed them and they started to swarm.

It made for some absolutely adorable candid pictures. :)

And we ended the day with a good old fashioned snowball fight. :) How's that for a senior session!

Caroline & Liz

When I returned home over the Thanksgiving holiday, my sister and I decided to go downtown and have a mini photo shoot. About halfway through, one of her best friends showed up and it turned into one of the most relaxed and completely hilarious sessions that I've ever done. Here is just a glimpse of our quick shoot!

Strutting her stuff on the cat walk. ;)

Emily's Senior Session

Emily is a rising senior in high school and decided to do her senior pictures in downtown Annapolis. One of my favorite parts about Annapolis is the fact that every shoot I do around the city looks completely different. There are so many backdrops and colors, it's a photographer's dream! Here are a few of my favorites from the session.

As we were walking around, we saw this little table already set up with a vase of sunflowers.

Talk about lucky timing! :)

2010 Seniors!

I just wanted to let all of the 2010 Seniors know that I'll be booking most of my Senior Sessions between July 1st and August 26th! I've been getting a ton of emails recently asking when the "best" time is to do your high school senior portraits. I always recommend having them done the summer before you begin your senior year. You get to sport your summer tan & order your wallets before you even get your first homework assignment. It takes all of the stress out of senior pictures!

Any 2010 Seniors that book in the months of July & August can take advantage of this special offer!

For $250 you'll have a 1-2 hour session at any location of your choice, an online ordering gallery to view & order prints, as well as a disc with all of the digital images included. You also receive a $20 off coupon for any future session you schedule with me! :)

** As of July 1st all prices will be changing slightly for portrait sessions. Digital images will be included in all sessions to make booking simpler and easier! :) This Senior Session offer is valid for any sessions scheduled between now and August 26th.

All the best,

Natalie Franke

Another Peek from Jenna's Session

To say that I love Senior Portrait Sessions would be an understatement. Whether I'm photographing in downtown Annapolis or at a beach like this one - Seniors have this creative energy that I absolutely love! Here are a few more pictures from Jenna's Senior Session two weeks ago!

This is the same beach where I'll be hosting my Trash the Dress Marathon Day on June 27th (next month)! I still have a few openings left, so email me if you are interested! =)

All the best,

Natalie Franke

Beach Bliss Marathon Session Day!

To say that I had fun yesterday at the Beach Bliss Marathon Day would be an understatement! The weather was gorgeous! Sunny and 75 - couldn't get much better than that! I was lucky enough to have a good friend and fabulous photographer, Noah Hayes, join me for the day as well! Here is a small small peek from the day:

Stunning Charlotte!

Sweet Joy!

I loved this shot of Noah and the girls! 

Lauren planned a session for her younger sister Kristen's Birthday!

The birthday girl!

I love those shades! 

Jenna was the last session of the day and a former client of mine! 

We had so much fun taking her senior pictures!

We often go to great lengths as photographers to get the right shot..

Noah in these pictures is the perfect example! Haha!

& Noah caught me in action as well! =) 

I was so happy to finally be able to wear flip flops!

Yours Truly,

Clare's Senior Pictures

The weather was forecasted to rain, but with a few clouds in the sky we managed to have one of the best shoots so far this season! Although Clare may look like she was getting pictures for a modeling portfolio (this girl is gorgeous!) we were doing her senior portraits before she graduates in a few weeks! Her mom, Michele, is an incredible photographer from the area who will be launching her website in the near future! I'll be joining Michele this summer as we work with the Maryland United Lacrosse Club during their tournaments! Enjoy!

Rocking these gorgeous heels!

This girl can strike a serious pose like no one I've ever known.

These shots scream "FREEDOM!" - Graduating in a few weeks! Congrats Clare!

Clare - Best of luck as you enter this new part of your life! You're going to do such incredible things with your talent and amazing personality! Hopefully I'll get a camera in your hands sooner rather than later! ;)

Yours Truly,

Natalie Franke
