I had a photo session with Franci with me and my two dogs. It was a pleasure working with her. She was very good with getting my dogs to take great pictures. I am very happy with how the pictures came out!

Franci did our family photos in November. She was professional, clearly experienced, and very kind to work with. She gave me tips on coordinating clothes for the family and put my children at ease so the smiles were natural. She clearly wanted us to love our photos and they came out wonderfully. I highly recommend her and will call her the next time we want photos!

My favorite thing about working with Franci was her coaching. I loved how she corrected everyone's clothing and posture to make everyone look their best. She's very talented at composition and corrects for lighting very quickly.

Franci was truly amazing, so sweet and professional! I found her on Yelp of all places and I'm sure she will be our photographer from now on! ALL the pictures she took of our family were AMAZING. only problem I had was choosing which ones to buy! If your looking for a photographer I definitely would recommend Photography by Franci.

Franci went over and beyond with reprinting and restoring my parents wedding photo from 1969. Her attention to detail is impressive, she removed an entire shadow from their photo! She also restored some of my wedding photos. So grateful to have re-connected with her since she last took our first family portrait 18 years ago when our son was 18! She also recently finished a beautiful canvas print of our family that we gave to my husband for Father's Day. Franci is very professional and even placed our pictures in a safe picture box and carried it to my car! We highly recommend her business and we will be using her again! Thank you Franci

Franci was such a pleasure to work with! Fast, professional, and genuinely cares about your satisfaction and the photos she takes. She takes into consideration what you want and need at a reasonable price and I couldn't be happier with my experience.

Franci was amazing with my two children during their recent photo shoot. We needed updated photo's of the kids and Franci picked a perfect park setting where my kids were relaxed and had fun. Franci worked perfectly with my son Jackson who is special needs and has a hard time holding still and making eye contact. She was very patient with him and captured some memorable shots.

She made my teenage daughter feel super special and took time getting unique photo's of her too. She get's the right shot, does a fantastic job editing, and is the kindest sweetest person you will ever meet. I will defiantly be using Franci for my next professional head shots.

Franci is awesome! I need a professional headshot for my real estate advertisement. Franci helped me to relax and showed me what to do with my post. She was detail oriented. After taking shots, we sat down in her office and chose pictures. Francie is a very nice and passionate photographer, she retouched my picture on Sat since she knew I need it by Monday. I really appreciated her. I had so many compliments on my headshot. Highly recommend!

I recently had a head shot done with Franci, it was a complete pleasure to work with her, she has a great personality and makes you feel so comfortable while she's taking the pictures which for me is typically uncomfortable! I was also so impressed with her dedication to make the pictures look great, she completed the touch-up early even though she was busy and was leaving for out of town trip. I highly recommend working with her! Sincerely, Gilda

.I am trying to get a "old Lady" part in a commercial and the agency needs a good "old lady" photo. Franci almost made me look to young/good!.but. she was very good at telling me how to move for the camera. She loves what she does, and her work shows it. I Highly recommend Franci.

Ten years ago I had my headshot for my website and passport done by Franci. I'm not particularly photogenic, and usually tend to have an unnatural looking smile when people take my picture. I was thrilled when Franci was able to get me to relax, and got so many great shots it was hard to pick favorites. So when I needed to update my picture for my website, and renew my passport, I knew who I was going to call, and Franci was as wonderful as I remembered. She is professionally knowledgeable, but also kind and personable. Once again only problem was figuring out which was the best out of so many good pics!

I had such a fun time during my photo shoot with Franci. She put me at ease. Her style is very interactive and she helps to draw out the photo she is looking for. On top of that, she took a variety of GREAT photos and gave me lots of choices that I really liked. Three cheers for Franci!

Franci IS the BEST in the business! Not only is she the best, she is the sweetest. She makes you feel so comfy and welcome that you just hate to leave. Her photos are AMAZING! Beware, you will want to purchase EVERY single one. She's very creative and honest and will be my go to photographer from now on. I can't say enough about her and her work other than look no further, if you want the best then Franci is it! Oh and my daughters senior portraits came out so beautiful. My daughter hates taking pictures but Franci made her so comfortable that she couldn't stop smiling.

Franci did a perfect job on my maternity photos. I sent her a picture I really wanted recreated and she made it happen and then some. She is a really sweet lady and so easy to work with. I am so pleased with how our pictures came out I would highly recommend her to anyone. I plan to have her do some boudoir photos after baby comes and I get my body back.

I have never met such a cheerful positive fun and excited photographer! Franci is not only professional she's creative and she's very interested in making people look amazing. She enjoys doing what she does and she will make sure you're enjoying being photographed by her. Her Martinez studio and staff it makes one feel very relaxed but she does lovely outdoor portraits as well! You willie her frames canvas portrait well worth the investment!

Over the past 13 years, Franci has done our engagement photos, wedding photos, baby's photo at one year and most recently our two kids' portraits. Each experience has been highly professional, yet relaxed, friendly and enjoyable. She and Art make the session so easy. They will "pose" you perfectly so you look great without looking like you're really posing. Franci captures the essence of the subject. She truly does outstanding work and makes it look so easy.

Franci had done our engagement photo over 10 years ago (she was booked to a previous couple so she was unable to be our wedding photographer.) So, when it was time for our family photo's we knew we were going to use her- I have gotten compliment after compliment on our family photo. She was simply amazing considering she was working with two stressed out adults, 4 kids and a themed photo (rockabilly) shoot. She even had a large picture made for her gallery- we were so flattered. We will be booking her soon for our 10 year anniversary and another family photo this fall.

We recently had a family portrait taken, the first in about 10 years. Since we do this very infrequently, we wanted the pictures to be perfect. Both of our children are young adults and neither likes taking pictures. So, we were apprehensive, to say the least. I cannot praise Franci enough for the quality of her work. She has a gift for putting people at ease.

She also listens extremely well, allowing us to state our preferences or objections to any of of the poses. The photo session was smooth and comfortable. The review session was also smooth. When Franci saw we were getting overwhelmed with all our choices, she was able to step back and allow us to slow things down to a pace we could handle (Of course, that meant two visits!) The bottom line, of course, is in the final product.

The portraits were outstanding, beyond our wildest hopes. On a personal note, Franci captured the sweetness and light in both of our kids - something I have never seen happen before. Thank you Franci! We treasure our portraits.
