Welcome the Scobercea family back to the blog! You’ve seen most of these guys here over the years. Blakley and I have known Raz and Emma for about 10 years and recently got to get together with the whole Scobercea family. The shoot was a blast and it was great to see the love this family has for each other. See y’all soon!

Welcome the Koen family back to the blog. I got the chance to photograph this great family again a couple weeks ago. One thing is for sure, when Blake and I get to hang out there will be a lot of Seinfeld references and laughs. Thanks for the great shoot guys, see you next time!

If you’ve been looking at our blog for a while now you might recognize this great family. I’ve had the pleasure of photographing them twice before when they were just a family of 3. Well Noah has a baby brother now and they couldn’t be more excited. I had a fun time taking these photos and am already looking forward to next time. Thanks guys!Here’s Noah telling us he’s done with photos

It’s that time of year again.  Not just time for tinsel and candy canes but also time for another SHOOT ME FOR FREE contest.  Free you say?  Free we say!  Absolutely positively FREE.  The only requirement is you email us at fletcher@framedbyfletcher.com with the subject line SHOOT ME FOR FREE and you will be entered to win.  On December 10th we will do a random drawing of everyone who entered so get your emails in now!

The photoshoot will take place in the Greater Houston area.  We can help pick out a location for you or you can choose the location.  The photos can be used for anything you wish . . . portraits just for fun, holiday cards, senior pictures, engagement photos, anything your heart desires.  So get those emails a-coming and cross your fingers that we draw your name!

We are so incredibly excited to debut the new framedbyfletcher photography website to you all . . . finally!  It has been such a fun, exciting, annoying, frustrating, exhausting . . . process that we thought we’d blog about what it took to create this masterpiece so that you too could be a part of it.

Step one was to create a new logo.  We worked with an incredible designer, Wendy of BrokenBoxDesigns.  The process of conveying our vision to someone who did not know us was at times challenging but in the end she absolutely nailed it!  We heart our characters so much.  Thank you thank you thank you Wendy!!

Little did I know, that was the easy part.  Step two was creating the actual website.  Our original website was strictly HTML, my wheelhouse.  For our new site, we partnered with the awesome folks at prophotoblogs and wordpress.  I have messed around a little bit with wordpress in the past and frankly, we don’t get along but I was determined to make it work this time.  I’ll be honest, at times I wanted to give up.  At times I wanted to write them a strongly worded letter about how I think things should work.  At times I wanted to throw my computer off my desk (but if you read our Jonathan & Blakley page, you’d know that I heart apple and that would have been a shame).  But in the end, what became of the frustration, sweat and tears is, well, beautiful.  Since sometimes it is hard to fully appreciate the emotions another goes through, we thought we would re-create what has been going on over the last month . . .  please don’t laugh too hard.

And now it is live.  We cannot believe it and really don’t even know how it happened but now that it’s done we hope you all enjoy looking around.  All of the old blog posts are here.  Feel free to look at them again, leave some comments (that is the only thing we could not bring with us) and check out the new website!  Check back as much as you can stand it.  We will be entertaining you with new blog posts often.  – Blakley
