It's rare for wedding photographers to mention, let alone advertise the importance of the second shooter. But the fact is, most weddings not only require an additional photographer, they demand it. I believe teamwork is at the heart of great achievement. After all, a single photographer has only one set of eyes and can only be in one spot at a time.
I grew up in Colorado, oldest of three girls - all thrill seeking, adventure loving, wild-hearted women. I snowboard, scuba dive, ride motorcycles, jump out of airplanes, globe-trot and dance like a boss. My trusted sidekick is a Doberman named Bodhi who is absolutely part of the family. Always evolving, my work has grown from classic, documentary, and artistic roots.
Many couples spend their budgets on the experience of the wedding. I understand. Music was incredibly important at my own wedding. We hired an a capella group for a flash mob, arranged for various individuals to sing throughout the day, and selected the best DJ in Denver for the real throw down. But I was not able to see the single tear in my father's eye and the smile of pride on his face as he walked me down the aisle.
Do you recall the classic back and forth between Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding Jr. in the movie Jerry Maguire? "Help me, help you." 1. Begin to develop a relationship with your wedding photographer well before your wedding. The better we "click", the easier I will be able to capture the essence of who you are as a couple when it truly counts.
Entire books, entire classes, entire careers have been dedicated to defining, discussing, and debating the importance of fashion photography. Without question, photography plays a major role in global fashion culture. Our memory of fashion is really through fashion photography.
But some, such as author Nancy Hall-Duncan point out that fashion photography has sometimes been called ephemeral, commercial, and frivolous, and its importance called into question.That fashion photography has a commercial intent implies that it lacks photographic and artistic integrity.

Where do I begin?? I had never done anything like this before and am sure glad I did. Frances made me feel comfortable, relaxed and most of all had a blast doing it. She was very responsive from day one when I found her on the internet to do a boudoir shoot for my soon to be husband. I see another couples session in the future as my fiance is going to go out of his mind when he receives the pics on our wedding day. If you want a relaxed, comfortable and fun photographer Frances is your gal!! Believe me when I say "You will not forget it"!!!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
I so enjoyed my photo shoot with Frances. Throughout the entire process she was highly responsive to my emails and answered any questions I had. Frances also worked very hard to make me feel comfortable and confident during the shoot. Highly recommend!

Beautiful photos and a great experience. I’m far from a professional photographer, but the amount of time, effort and attention to detail Frances put in not only on the day of the shoot but through the whole process is very evident to me. I went into the shoot with the idea of getting some nice photos for my husband but was pleasantly surprised by the sense of empowerment and confidence that came with the experience. I will absolutely recommend you for any of my friends looking for a gift or a confidence boost.

Frances is an incredible creator and photographer. I’ve done makeup for many of her clients at her beautiful natural light studio and she always has the best energy and professional vibe. Not only is her work absolutely beautiful but she goes above and beyond for her clients. I can always tell that her new boudoir clients feel so excited and at ease the moment they meet her. I can’t wait to have her do boudoir photos of me one day!

Absolutely amazing experience! We did an bachelorette boudoir shoot with Frances. Frances is very profession and puts the interest of the customer first. She makes you feel very comfortable and confident in your own body. She has an amazing eye for poses that make you feel beautiful. Chelsea Reynolds was the makeup artist and did an amazing job! She was very professional and personal. She did an amazing job giving us a beautiful, natural look! I would come back to do a photo shoot in a heart beat!

Frances is an absolutely amazing photographer and person. She is so talented and all our pictures turned out amazing. She really listened to our style and what we wanted but it turned out even better than we could have hoped. She makes you feel so comfortable behind the camera and coaches you while still being yourself and highlighting you (or the couple) as individuals. Would 10000% recommend and will be using her again.
