Hi, I am Claire Frances. I'm a photographer based in beautiful Shoalhaven, Vincentia, Jervis Bay NSW. When I'm not busy capturing your love stories, you can find me chasing sunrises with my husband and our two children, adventuring out on the bay in our boat, swimming in the pure shores of Jervis Bay or simply enjoying a good Netflix session.
After some time away from the region studying my Undergraduate and Post- Graduate degrees of Arts and cultural management at the University of Melbourne, I moved back to region I love so dear. With some time away being Mum, I'm now continuing my life-long passion for the Arts with my Photography.
I love to capture the natural adventures of life. That imperfect blur that sometimes appears in a photograph that beautifully freezes a moment in time. That roaring laugh, cry and those footprints in the sand. The shadows, the grain and the authentic moments that truly reflect who you are and the magical relationship you have with those around you.
I would love to join you on your next adventure and document those magical moments in your story.
CF

"I am so grateful for the truely beautiful moments Claire captured of my journey to motherhood. Her vision of a relaxed sunrise session to capture the warm sun as it rose to expose the beauty of my transforming body was unlike anything I could have imagined. She made me feel comfortable, beautiful and empowered. Moments like these are captured forever and I will always treasure these photos, one day sharing them with this little bump. I cannot wait to work with Claire again when our baby arrives!"

"Thank you so much for the beautiful photos of my son and I. I wanted something natural but also a little artistic, capturing photos that not only included us but also the nature around us. You were so wonderful with guiding us during the shoot to make sure we got the most out of it. The location you suggested was amazing and I'm so glad we went there. You are extremely talented! Thank you again, Katie"

"The shoots were so natural. Claire takes a gentle ‘fly on the wall’ approach snapping away and capturing the real moments. She offers direction when needed but makes you feel like you were going to do it yourself anyway. 100 percent recommend!"

"'Claire creates magic. She has captured such special moments of my daughter and I, time and time again. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants to capture natural and beautiful moments. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and expressions (that even I can't get out of my child!). She made us feel so comfortable you barely remember you are having a photo session. Beautiful work Claire, a true artist'."

"We had tried a few different photographers for Oyster Catcher Huskisson. When we got the images back from Claire, we immediately knew these were the ones! Claire captured the true authenticity of Oyster Catcher Huskisson and showcased it as no one else could. We will always, and in fact have again, contact Claire first for any future photography needs."
