He's Already Stolen My Heart!

I finally finished editing the pictures from the Mother's Day Marathon a few weeks ago & fell in love with this little guy! Isn't he just precious. I thought I would share a few pictures from the session & let everyone know how excited I am for all of the family shoots that are coming up over the summer!

Thumbs up! :) Hehe!

All the best,

Spalding Pre-Prom Party

Yesterday I had an amazing time photographing a group of Spalding students before their Senior Prom! The girls looked stunning & the boys were just as handsome as we headed to the beach for some pre-prom photography! We could hear the thunder and see the clouds barreling our way, but somehow it managed to hold off!  :) Here is a small peek at that session:

All of the dresses were gorgeous!

These two jumping shots turned out to be my favorites!  :)

Parents & Students from the Party: You can be expecting the online gallery to be uploaded by/on Friday! I will email you when it is ready for viewing! :)

All the best,

Caroline's Junior Prom!

Last night, my sister had her Junior Prom & I was out with my camera to catch her before the dance! She wore a gorgeous sky blue dress & had her hair done in waves. Her date, Dillon, looked incredibly handsome too & was so sweet! It sounds like they had an amazing time at the Vegas Themed Prom - Here are a few pictures from yesterday. Yay! :)

Dillon prepping for poker later that night!

Caroline & I earlier in the day! :)

I'm photographing another Pre-Prom Session tonight for a group of Spalding students! :) I'm hoping the rain holds off so we can get some pictures outside!

All the best,

Caroline's Birthday!

My sister, Caroline celebrated her 17th birthday today & I can't believe it. Caroline is one of my best friends in the entire world. Not only is she an incredible sister, but an inspiring person. She works so hard for her goals and dreams - no matter what stands in her way. She is beautiful inside & out - and I mean that. I took this picture of her a few nights ago on a whim & I've fallen in love with it.. There is my baby sister, the angel that she has always been to me. My partner in crime, there for me in the worst & best of times. I'm so blessed that God has given me such an amazing person to call my sibling. 

Caroline - Happy Birthday! I love you & I'm so proud of you!

This picture was taken the same day right after I finished a photo session!

She has the best sense of humor. & I love that.

This picture was taken at Thanksgiving.

Holidays are so much more fun with Caroline. :)

She keeps me company at the under 50 table.

All the best,

Natalie Franke

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).
