“I can’t speak highly enough of Francine and her work! She is incredibly professional, welcoming, and was amazing with my newborn daughter. She has an exceptional handle on the use of color and texture and provided a wide variety of poses and props for our session. The images I received from the session are absolutely stunning and I know I will cherish them for years to come..“

“Francine is just phenomenal. I have never come across someone who truly LOVES their profession as much as she does and it shows. It shows in her work, but more importantly it shows in the process of her work. Watching her in her element so focused on my baby and capturing the best angles, while keeping baby comfy melted my heart. She is such a friendly, beautiful and considerate person. We can not thank her enough for capturing this precious moment in our lives. You will not go wrong choosing her, she is worth every penny & more! We can’t wait to see her in a year for our milestone pictures!!“

“As a new mom who’s just recovering, newborn photos can be so stressful.Thanks to Francine, it went fabulous! Our little babe was calm, warm and taken care of so well! Francine made sure to make all of us feel comfortable, all the stress had suddenly went away as we watched our sweet babe pose like a little model. Our proofs were sent over very quickly as well, and ALL OF THEM were beyond BEAUTIFUL, each photo would take our breath away! We also got the photo album, and the photos are even more beautiful printed. The process was so smooth and easygoing. I can’t thank Francine enough for the most special keepsakes of our sweet little babe!”
