As much as I'd like to write an eloquent testimonial with appropriate adjectives to describe Natalie, all I can really think of is that she's friggin' AMAZING. I am baffled that she didn't start shooting weddings until just this year. Her wedding work could pass for that of a long-time experienced wedding photographer. I am honored to know her in person. She has one of the brightest personalities of anyone I know and I wish I weren't graduating Penn this December so that I can get to know her better. BOO :(. She's just simply fantastic!! What an eye she has. :)

Natalie. It's already been said many times before but Natalie is one of the brightest and certainly most cheerful young stars on Flickr. There is a unique vibrancy and liveliness about her art, one that warms the soul and makes you glad you are alive.

There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said -- this girl has a list of testimonials as long as my leg. But I feel it necessary to say something anyway. Natalie is amazing. Confident, beautiful, and incredibly talented. Her macro shots are top-notch, and the shots she gets from her couple sessions are amazing. Her photos are so young and fresh. When she has a camera, she is armed and dangerous. I am always so thrilled to see that she's posted and feel honored to have her as a contact. Keep up the amazing work, Natalie.

Natalie is probably one of the sweetest people I have met here on Flickr. She always leaves such the NICEST comments, and I smile every single time. On top of that, her photos always blow me away; even the simplest things she manages to look amazing. And I always await for her new blog entries and new photos. :)

Natalie Franke is a fresh, edgy and talented young photographer. Don't let her age fool you though, she shoots like a Pro like she's been doing this forever. I love checking into her stream to see what she's been up to. Keep up the great work Natalie! :-)))

I can't wait till she starts doing a ton of weddings, because the few she has already done have been super beautiful. And her nature work is way better then any other I've seen. ♥

I hope this won't get lost in the pile of testimonials Natalie already has....because I want to speak to the kindness that is Natalie. We all know she is a talented photographer, but more importantly she is also a very kind person. She patiently helped me (a fifty something middle age aspiring photographer) set up my own photo blog. I could not have done it without her, especially the music part....thank you so much Natalie, everyday that I share on my blog I think of you...and the beautiful person you are...the visible and the invisible beauty that shines in you and your work.

She seems to have an innate understanding of composition, a sensitive eye and unique technical skills. I have no idea how she creates some of her latest photos, but they are simply stunning. An overused word on FLickr, but I'd have to make up a new one for her inimitable style. If you haven't perused her photostream, sit, back, relax and play the slide show. You're in for a treat."

Don't let Natalie's profile fool you! She's really a 35 year old life-experienced professional photographer living in the body of an 18 year old all-American college freshman. Honest. Natalie recently confessed that some people describe her as an "old soul." I personally think that she shoots with the experience of an old soul and she is wise and mature beyond her years, but Natalie's photography most definitely has the heart and vitality of a young soul. Her stream is always one of the first stops on my daily Flickr rounds — like stopping in to the bakery for a taste of what's fresh and new. It has been a treat to get to see her photography grow and a special treat getting to know her as a Flickr friend. Thank you, Natalie, for both your friendship and the sharing of your wonderful photographic talents. Enjoy that D300!!!

The ever popular and gorgeous Natalie! Thank you for sharing your lovely photos. I'm such a nerd and always make sure you upload daily! Your portraits are breath-taking. It's so refreshing to see your photos, after viewing nothing but dead leaves and Winter images. You're going places, girlie!

Natalie Franke is one of the nicest and most courtious photographers i've ever had the pleasure of knowing. All of her comments are constructive and highly thought of by myself simply because her own style of photography is so unique and beautifully executed. I really love your style Natalie, Keep it up!
