Francesca at Photos by Francesca is an absolute unicorn!

Yes, she's an incredibly talented and creative photographer who knows more about angles, lighting and lenses than any professional I've ever met. But it's her knack for balancing her expertise with straight-up warmth that makes a photo shoot with Francesca so enjoyable!

Like most people, I freeze in front of a camera. Or shy away. But - from when we first met to chat about the photos for my business to the shoot itself - Francesca made me feel so comfortable. As such, she was able to capture beautiful, candid shots that captured me and my business perfectly! She also came up with some amazing suggestions that really elevated the results.

I've already pencilled her in for my first birth and family photo shoot (as and when I've got a bump, haha)! And she'd be my go-to wedding photographer (if I wanted to get married).

But for now, if you're looking for a professional and personable photographer in Nelson (or anywhere else in New Zealand) to capture your special moments, give Francesca at Photos by Francesca a call. You really...

I literally couldn't be happier with the photos that Francesca shot for me.

I knew I wanted to get some photos done for my business, but I struggled to find someone who was creating great work and was upfront with their process and their pricing like Francesca is... so when I found her, I was very excited to book in ASAP.

Now I've got a ton of amazing images that I can use for my business over and over. She was so thoughtful and had clearly done her homework regarding my business, so all the poses were easy and created very usable photos.

But most of all, I have the memories of a seriously fun day of Francesca helping me feel more comfortable and letting my true self shine through my photos... yes, I know this is cheesy, but it's 100% the case for me.

Every time I look at those photos, I think of that day and how the photos truly reflect how I want to present myself to my clients. Not many photographers can do that the way Francesca can.

Writing this is getting me excited for my next shoot with her! If you have the chance to work with her, DO IT! She's awesome and...

I put my hand up to be a beta tester for Francesca's Empowerment experience photo shoot after seeing some incredible photos coming through social media of other women. The thought of being the sole subject of a photo was somewhat intimidating, especially as I don't feel very confident in front of the camera. However, Francesca just has a warmth about her that makes you feel immediately safe and comfortable around her. She's also great at giving direction!

The hour long photo shoot was so much fun, and I felt completely at ease the whole time.

I'm very lucky to have some beautiful family photos from a previous shoot with her too. My kids were SUPER energetic on the day of the shoot (picture laps around the park by Mr 5 + constant gymnastics by Miss 7), but Francesca took it all in her stride + got some great pics (including still shots!!).

Now I have some really nice pictures which capture a different side of me. Thank you for the opportunity and the...
