Taylor's Senior Session

Taylor takes gorgeous to a whole new level. She's so sweet and outgoing - I had the absolute best time doing her senior pictures. Not only does she have a beautiful smile, but her serious expressions are amazing as well! Here are just a few of the hundreds of great shots from her session.. I had the hardest time deciding which ones were my favorite because I love them all so much! :)

I love the way these turned out! :) Hearts of sand.

Also, I'm completely booked for the summer! I'll be shooting Senior Portraits in November around Thanksgiving and in March when I return from school! :) Not to mention in May right before graduation!

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

Clare & Daniel's Session

Clare & Daniel are absolutely adorable together. I photographed Clare a few months ago for her Senior Portraits & when she asked me if I'd take pictures of her high school sweetheart too, I couldn't resist. Young love is beautiful. :) I took this couple to two separate & still quite secret locations --> My favorite Annapolis beach & an abandoned radio station a few minutes up the road.

It was an extremely windy, extremely cloudy day.

I love the way the clouds appear so cinematic in the beach shots! :)

After shooting for an hour at the beach,

we drove 2 minutes up the road to my favorite abandoned field.

Update

The next two weeks are going to be incredibly crazy for me! I'm finishing finals on Tuesday and have two proms, 5 portrait sessions and two weddings scheduled by the end of the month! It's a big jumbled mess of excitement and craziness. :) In order to organize everything for my clients I've decided to blog with a mini-update of everything coming up and going on. But what's a post without a few pictures, seriously. This is a photo-blog afterall!

Interested Seniors: You can see more from Lauren's Session here to know what a general photo session would be like and what your online gallery will look like! (just select Lauren's Session from the galleries).

The Trash the Dress Marathon Day on June 27th is sold out!

Lunch and Learn: I've filled up all of the spots for the Lunch and Learn in Annapolis on July 12th. If you are still interested - Email me - If I get a few more people I might be able to plan a second one! Yay!

May 30th to June 7th: I will be on vacation and out of the office for the first week of June. I will do my best to respond to emails at that time, but I will be fairly out of touch. If you want to book a session for June - Please email me before I go on vacation!

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,
