Frances Photography

Full ⭕️ circle. (Part 2 of 2)

As I look back over all the years; back though all of the blood, sweat and tears, I can say with absolute certainty… my career was AMAZING. I met incredible humans from around the world, I made life-long friends, and best of all, I saw and captured the kinds of love that can (and will) break your heart.

I laughed, I loved, and I cried right along with my clients for two full decades. I froze moments in time that will make up thousands upon thousands of pieces of family history. I gave everything I had, in every way that I knew how, to help people to remember how they felt during these precious and fleeting moments in time.

At the end of last year, I decided I was complete. 20 years, as it turns out, was enough for me. I have mastered my craft. I have seen everything I needed to see, and I have done everything I wanted to do in this space.

As I say my goodbyes to the wedding industry, I am also bring my artistry full circle. I started with a love of natural beauty and a desire to capture landscapes. After photographing my final wedding last fall, I flew to Kenya with my husband where I spent 12 days capturing the most wild natural beauty I never knew I needed for my heart. It was nothing short of pure magic. The images I brought home… well, they are treasures.

These photos, to me, represent the truest testament to the years I spent honing my craft. Because I am left with this- I am and always will be an artist. I am and always will be a photographer. As for weddings, it’s time to say farewell and pass the torch.

Thank you to the industry that raised me, that expanded me, that taught me so much about who I am. Thank you to ALL of my clients: To the ones I loved, (which is most of you), thank you for making my life brighter and motivating me to be the best I could be. And to the ones that challenged me, thank you for teaching me about boundaries and making me braver. I am better because of you too. 😉

So long wedding friends… That’s a wrap!
