Katie & Steven

Katie and Steven are one of those couples that you immediately love spending time with! Steven is the technical wizard when it comes to computers and Katie has a creative passion for scrap-booking. They fit together like two peas in a pod. :) Our session was split between my favorite abandoned field & a beach overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. We lucked out with gorgeous blue skies and plenty of sunshine! Here are a few shots from their session.

I loved this shot because it really captured their personalities. It was one of those unposed moments that make you smile! :)

There is something romantic about a tree growing & thriving on a beach.. inches away from the surf.

Thank you to Katie and Steven for being so wonderful! Be sure to check out Steven's WEBSITE Katie's fabulous BLOG. I also want to thank John from Eye on Annapolis for sending out a tweet supporting me that lead this wonderful couple my way! Eye on Annapolis is an incredible website that serves as a watchdog & support system for the community! Technology is such an amazing thing!

All the best,

Natalie Franke

Shelby and Brian

Yesterday turned out to be the warmest day so far this year and all photographers know that beautiful weather means that its time to head outside for portraits! I met up with Armin DeFiesta in downtown Annapolis to photograph the fun & fabulous Shelby Leigh and her boyfriend Brian as we ventured around town! Enjoy!

I caught Armin taking a picture of me, so I snapped one back!

My boyfriend Hugh filmed the shoot on Armin's Flip HD Camera.

Armin in action!

It was such a fun day & I had fun working with Armin and photographing Shelby and Brian! I'm sure that you'll see more of them as the portrait and wedding season continues! =)

Yours Truly,

Natalie Franke

Working hard, oh yes I am!

Lately I've been working non-stop!  Today was the first day in over a week that I had the opportunity to sit at my computer and start editing three sessions from the last two weeks. As I'm watching the snow fall outside my window (and wondering WHY we go all winter without a storm & March brings a forecast for 7-10 inches?) it makes me want to run out and go sledding like a five year old -- I guess there are some things that I'll never grow out of! 

A few more faves from Kira & Cameron's Session

March is completely booked in terms of my availability. I will be booking into April from now on and that month is almost already fully booked as well! Remember that prices increase as of April 1st. You must schedule a session by that date in order to keep current rates! 

My first wedding is only a few weeks away! Can't wait! I'll keep you all posted!

Yours Truly,

Natalie Franke
