I think for a 4x6 photo with a mat, you might want to use 8x10 frames (or maybe even bigger) which should be relatively easy to find with the mat already in the frame, if you want a white mat, that is.
You might try Michaels on 441 in Rolling Acres. Bloodbath and Beyond might have some. Also the Bealls outlet in Colony and maybe other Bealls, too. If you are doing the matting, I think Michaels has it.
For that many, you might have to go to more than one place.
And now, for a little unsolicited advice.....
You are probably looking for frames that have the little stand-up thing on the back in addition to being a hanging frame which is a good idea because people will do either. But sometimes I stand a photo in one of those little wire or wood stands. Makes a nice statement, like on my hall table -- credenza -- console -- whatever that thing in the hall is called -- where a gorgeous spoonbill in flight resides in his mat and frame on a stand.
Darn it. I did it again. He asked for the time and I built him a clock.....
