Frakes Photography bio picture
  • Welcome to my world!

    YUP! I'm a mom and I'm totin' my camera and I'm PROUD of it!! After years of creating and learning and recreating and getting ahead of technology so I could create, learn and create some more, I found myself ready to branch out into a business where I could share my creativity with others. Just consider me obsessed...a passionate creative who is completely obsessed with the notion that beauty is alive and I have only to peek through my lens to see it...everywhere and in everyone!!
    I hope to see you here often as I do my best to post new content weekly or more!! You won't want to miss the new categories I have planned such as photography tips for hip moms (you're a hip mom whether you know it or not!) and local small business features. Lots of new plans are in the mix and you won't want to miss a single post!
    Be sure to like me on facebook for even more fun updates and photos and a (soon to come) behind the scenes look at what I do...or don't do...lol

An Early Christmas

Once again, allow me to introduce you to another dear family!  Meet the Gillespies!  It was a cold and rainy day outside, but inside was a whole nother story.  I was met with a buffet of mouth watering aromas, beautiful Christmas music, sleeping babies and the sound of cheery memories being made!  What a delight […]

Panthers Homecoming!!

Just as this football season was starting and we were trying to explain to our little Hurdle why he wasn’t old enough yet to play, we made a wonderful discovery:  Northeast Recreational Center!!!  We were so excited to find out that our little guy was qualified to play TACKLE football and his big sister could […]

A day in the field!

This photo shoot was amazing!  Not only did I have a great new location picked out specifically for this family, but I had (once again) awesome personalities to work with…and did I mention the eyes?!  Wow!  If eyes are the window to the soul, then sit down and have a front row seat for a […]
