My Portraiture Style

Your memories

I promise to help beautifully preserve this magical time as you celebrate your sweet baby!

The beauty

There is nothing more beautiful than the bond you share with your newborn. Let me capture it!

My Style

My style Is often clean and simple – timeless – it allows baby and all his details to shine.

“Francine is extremely talented and her work is absolutely breathtaking. She has a beautiful gift capturing and bottling up moments for her clients. My young kids warmed up to her very quickly and were belly laughing within minutes for great shots! She also handled my newborn with the utmost love and care. Francine is extremely thorough and careful throughout the session – she takes care of all safety aspects (ex. positioning /props with newborns / young kids), positioning and working directly with you and/or the kids for the desired shots. It’s a great feeling to just show up for the photo session and let Francine work her magic. You’ll fall in love with Francine and her work. Promise you won’t be disappointed.

“Francine is a such a pleasure to work with! Her fun and vibrant personality help to keep the session comfortable for the parents and the babies 🙂 She is very creative and was able to perfectly capture my baby perfectly. I get so excited for every session with her because I know that I will have amazing photos to follow. The turnaround time is also very quick, which is much appreciated for anxious parents!

“Our photos are beautiful and we’re so thankful we had he opportunity to work with CalderaPhotos are such an important part of our life and you only get one shot to do it right. And you do an amazing job — don’t ever let someone tell you otherwise. You were born to do this and you make memories stand still. Someday my kids will have your photos on their wedding video and their husbands/wives are going to be envious of the beauty you captured in every shot!

“We feel so lucky that we made the choice to work with Caldera, the memory was capturWe’ve had the good fortune of working with Francine for nearly 3 years. She truly has a gift, and I cherish the images she has artfully created for my family over the years. She has the patience of a saint and boundless positive energy. I pray that she continues to stay in the business, because there are few photographers like her!
