Hi, my name is Francine!  This site is the HUB of sharing all things photographed by me ;) I am a photographer, Sound Healer, Reiki Master, yogi, student of shamanic healing, lover of crystals, and a seeker of love and light...based in Escondido, California.

I am a passionate woman striving to make a difference in the world by photographing subjects in a different perspective. Twelve years ago when I discovered photography as my outlet to healing from battling breast cancer, I discovered a completely different perspective on how I viewed the world. The past 14 years I have learned everything I can about the rules of photography. I have taken numerous workshops on how to photograph landscapes, fashion, nude art, editorial, and business. I have photographed countless subjects from nature, landscapes, people, events, and anything in between. 

 Today I am focusing my photography on women, and empowering them with the experience of healing (as I grow as a shamanic healer) and photography while receiving beautiful, natural images. Make sure to click on RAW.REAL.REDEFINED for more stories. 

As I am on my spiritual journey I have been extremely interested in Reiki and Sound Healing because of how I felt after treatments or sound baths. In 2018 I received my 100 hour Sound Healer certificate as well as my Reiki Master certificate.  Today I am taking clients in my Escondido Sacred Space. If you are interested in a Reiki session or Sound Bath, please contact me. 

The spiritual journey has led me to taking photographs of sacred, soulful moments. It fulfills me to be able to weave both of my passions (photography and spirituality) a connection that really speaks to my soul. Hire me for your spiritual retreat as a photographer and healer. 

Although I may be focusing my photography on two subjects, my passion will always be in nature. Nature is where all the healing began, it grounds me, it recharges me, it makes me happy.  I have been blessed to have the opportunities to travel to the most majestic destinations, to experience, and photograph the most amazing moments. Check out the TRAVEL section for some of my favorite destinations and imagery.

My BLOG will have all the random stories about me ;) photography, my subjects, my gear, my trials and tribulations! I'm no writer, but I have many stories to tell. The blog..a work in progress! Me...a work in progress. Come along for the ride?!
