Hi, my name is Francine!  This site is the HUB of sharing all things photographed by me ;) I am a photographer, wanderlust, yogi, student of shamanic healing, lover of crystals, sound healing, 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 10 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. 

I am also passionate about philanthropy, and beginning the journey of partnering with local non-profit organizations catered to women to assist in creating impactful stories that will make a difference for a great cause. Don't hesitate to click on the NON-PROFIT section to see whom I've gotten the opportunity to work with.

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?!
