Testimonials

…I recently was fortunate enough to spend time at one of Fran’s workshops. Fran has an amazing ability when it comes to capturing life in a portrait. Her images are absolutely breathtaking, and I have no doubt that they are her client’s most prized possessions. I would like to say that anyone, no matter their level in photography, can benefit greatly from Fran’s knowledge. She has an immeasurable passion towards photography that is very apparent when you hear her speak. She is an open book to fellow photographers, and believes we should never lose the love for what we do. Everyone left the workshop with a renewed excitement for out fantastic careers. She restored our commitment to ourselves, and taught us more than we could possibly take in. Fran’s success speaks for itself. She clearly understands the importance of business, marketing, and relationships with clients, and capturing emotion. Fran’s knowledge would be an asset to anyone’s career.

Dear Fran,
I wanted to send you a note of sincere “Thanks” for your workshop. It was truly inspiring to listen to your passion about our profession and to experience your genuine enthusiasm for capturing the essence of people in your portraits. The workshop could have easily lasted the entire week. You pack so much information, heart, and soul into your instruction that one cannot help but get excited about our craft.

What impressed me most was your intense desire to share information with others. Your ability to organize your ideas and share them with us in a concise and useful way was enlightening. You also promoted dialogue among those of us attending. The ideas flew around the room and you mediated the discussion so that it was meaningful and relevant.

You spoke from the heart and have truly given me ideas about art and business that I have been able to implement immediately. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to improve our profession. I look forward to other opportunities to continue learning from you!
Thank you! ~Barry Benton


… Last year I attended Texas School with Fran and was able to spend time talking to her about my studio and what I had planned for it. I was so impressed with her obvious love and passion for what she does and her willingness to share that with everyone. She immediately opened herself to helping in anyway that she could. Over the past year she has instructed me, inspired me, and encouraged me. She has never been too busy to email me right away about a question I had or problem I needed to solve. This is the testament to her love of sharing. I had the opportunity to attend her in-studio workshop in January, and once again she amazed me. We spent 2 days from early morning to well into the night learning from her, and believe me it could have gone on for days. We had to work at a very fast pace just to get the information that she had planned for those 2 days, I really feel she could easily plan out a 5 day class and fill it with pertinent information that would be valuable to anyone in attendance. I myself would attend a 5 day class with Fran, and I’ve spoken with her weekly for the past year!

I would highly recommend Fran for any speaking or teaching engagement. She is wonderful with people, has an incredible personality, and a passion for her art that is awe-inspiring.

… Fran’s Resource CD has been invaluable as a guidance tool in helping me establish the policies and procedures for my business this year. It reflects the wisdom and experience that has helped make Fran’s business so successful. This book reveals the same eye for detail that is seen in every one of her images!
