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!

Trash the Dress Marathon Day!

It's finally time to announce my first ever "Trash the Dress Marathon Day" which will be comprised of mini sessions that can be used in any way to trash one of your favorite dresses. I have two dates reserved this summer, and already have four sessions pending so email me as soon as possible to reserve your session!

Date: Saturday, June 27th 2009

Location: Chesapeake Beach, MD

The Deal: A one hour long photo session, online ordering gallery, and access to the digital image files for $125 (two person max). Group sessions (3 or more people) are an hour and half long at a cost of $50 per person with the same benefits. I will taking a total of 4-5 sessions each day starting in the late afternoon and running through sunset!

What is trashing the dress?

Trashing the dress doesn't literally mean ruining a gown as the title would suggest. Instead it means creating something fabulous from a dress that you'll never wear again! And because that dress is most likely destined to a life wrapped in plastic, neglected in the back of your closet - why not get the most out of it? At these sessions you will jump in the water, lay in the sand, and be completely care free while looking your best!

What dress should I trash? Who should consider attending?

The most common trash the dress session is for brides who want to get the beautiful pictures that they couldn't risk taking on their wedding day! It also applies to high school juniors and seniors who want to get some prettier portraits from their prom dresses. But any woman should be able to find a dress and trash it - all it takes is a little creativity and a willingness to have a blast in front of the camera! These sessions aren't limited only to women -- couples can take full advantage of a flirty beach session too. Dance along the shore, lay side by side in the sand together, and have pictures of this unique session to last a lifetime.

For more information or to book a session email me: nataliefranke@mac.com or visit the website and submit an email through the contact me page! These sessions are going to be SO much fun & are expected to fill up fast! Email me as soon as possible to reserve your spot!

Yours Truly,
