Philosophy-Portraits

Hi, I'm Natalie Franke. I'm a dreamer, an artist & free-spirit. Ive been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. I'm a wedding and lifestyle photographer who specializes in capturing life's most precious moments.

I'm located out of Annapolis, Maryland - the cutest little nautical town in the world! I'm one semester away from my Visual Studies degree in the psychology and neuroscience of seeing from the University of Pennsylvania; graduation is quickly approaching!

I'm recently engaged to my longtime sweetheart, Hugh - who is my best friend in the entire world! We've been together for almost six years and will be planning our very own wedding this year... it's promising to be quite an adventure! If you follow my blog, you'll be hearing more about that in the near future!

My love affair with photography began at a very young age, surrounded by antique film cameras - I used to look through my family's National Geographic magazines for hours. When I was in high school, I picked up my first DSLR and the rest is history. I've been photographing weddings for just over three years and have been published in Woman's Day Magazine, Washingtonian Bride & Groom, Bride's Maryland Magazine, and (this January) The Knot Magazine!

I have the best job in the world. There is no doubt about that.
