you deserve to be documented


My approach to photography is simple -

I let you do you

This might sound intimidating but you’ll be alright, trust me.

Before your photo session we’ll have a wee chat and talk about you, your wishes and your vibe. We won’t be strangers anymore, this is a part of making sure you truly yourself during the photo session. You can fully focus on being in the moment.

your story, captured

Every person, every family is unique. That’s why every photoshoot will be personal and beautifully different.

Let’s do something that screams ‘‘you’’. I can do back-of-beyond or in your backyard - challenge me, tell me your wildest ideas.

Let’s create memories

Book your helicopter scenic flight photoshoot, go on an adventurous photoshoot in the mountains of Queenstown or invite me to your favourite place in the world, this could be your backyard, your comfy chair where you drink your morning coffee or the town closeby. I travel (inter)nationally to capture your story!

kind words

I’ve been fortunate with the kind people I got to photograph and these legends wrote down their experience so you can get to know the way I work!

  • I had a fabulous experience working with the very talented Francine to capture some special images of me 35 weeks pregnant on the farm with all my animals.

    I am not really that comfortable in front of a camera and am not a fan of images that are too posed, so was hesitant initially to have the shoot done. However as soon as Francine arrived at the farm, she simply asked me questions and we chatted about the farm and animals as I went about handling them, so I felt entirely comfortable and I had a great time!

    Lots of laughs were had and I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Francine during the shoot.

    The real delight was when the images arrived. I couldn't understand how she had managed to capture me and animals in such a genuine and magical way, all the animals personalities came through, I looked exactly like myself and every image was absolutely beautiful.

    I cannot recommend Francine enough. I hardly noticed her camera and had a really great time at the shoot. The photographs are one of kind. Francine is a true artist and has an amazing eye for moments and emotion. I'm very glad I now have a selection of incredible images to remember a very special time in my life.

  • Fran’s gentle calming nature instantly made me feel comfortable and more at ease behind the camera.

    Her creativity and imagination is beyond measurable.

    Fran’s photography is organic and natural in style, which is what makes her work so beautiful. Fran has a way of telling a story through capturing emotion. I highly recommend Fran’s work and cannot wait to work with her again in the future.

  • So so so SO good! Francine is one talented photographer. She instantly puts you at ease and nothing feels posed. A very organic, natural style whilst you have a chat and play around. Francine has done 3 shoots for us now and every one is unique in it's own way. I can't speak highly enough of the end results.

  • Fran drove 7 hours from Queenstown then took our photos in the evening on the way to another job. Even though it was a big trip she brought her A game! We have three children under 5 and I wanted to capture “Us” with our babies. The chaos of trying to get all five of us into a shot takes skill! We absolutely love our family package photos taken. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of a camera and captures everyone’s personalities well.

    Thank you Francine, we look forward to getting our wedding pics done … one day!
