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!

March is Madness!

I just looked at my March calendar and seriously needed to take a deep breath. I have a total of four days off this month.. WOW! As overwhelming as it is -- I am so happy!! I know it is going to be crazy, but I wanted to take my business to the next level & it's happening quicker than I could have imagined. I've booked my first wedding for September and have a bunch pending for the fall and into 2010!   =)  Thank you to all my amazing clients who encourage me, support me, and share their pictures with the world! You all are amazing.



First post with the new logo's watermark! Yay!

Goodbye Rain.. for now!

I got my new D300 yesterday in the mail! While the batteries were charging I ran outside and snapped a few pictures of the rain with my new macro lens! I can see that this is the beginning of a new era for me! I'm going to head outside soon and start getting a feel for my new camera, until then - here are two shots from yesterday's horrible weather!

Stormy Shots

My week has been so busy so far that I haven't even had a chance to breath. I have a huge project due tomorrow for Sociology and I have been working on it all week. Hopefully I'll be able to get it done with only another hour of work, but we'll see! I'm excited for this weekend with two possible sessions booked, and endless possibilities for locations. I'll keep everyone posted on how they go. Ironically they are both with past clients too.. I love when my clients are so happy with their first shoot that they want another! =)

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! I was thinking about it today, and I realized that there are only a few days left in November.. I can't believe it! This year has flown by so fast. It's amazing how quickly things change. I can't wait to spend the holidays with my family. It's going to be so much fun getting to see everyone for the first time in a while. Yay! Everyone knows what happens after Thanksgiving... Christmas! (My favorite holiday!) I should probably start making my wishlist.... hehe!


The weather has been so on and off lately, cold then warm - sunny then stormy. This past weekend it poured Saturday night & right before the storm I was able to capture a few shots. Here are two from that day.. enjoy!

Yours Truly,
