  Do you want to have your blog on WordPress.COM and have it look like it is part of your existing web site or do you want to add a blog to your existing web site?

  Both can be done but the how to is very different. You should also review the differences between WordPress.COM (here) hosted sites and WordPress.ORG software (the blog is on your current site)

  For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can certainly install WordPress from http://wordpress.org/ at francesephotography.com/blog/ if you’d like

  To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.org has complete support and documentation sites for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress at:
  http://wordpress.org/support/
  http://codex.wordpress.org/

  If you’d like to have your blog here at WordPress.com, you can’t map a directory like /blog/ to a WordPress.com blog, but you could map a subdomain like blog.francesephotography.com following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-subdomain/
