About Francesca

Photography is so much more than a perfect image to me.

Hello!

My name is Francesca and, in the last 16 years of my life, I have met many families in my studio and captured the most special chapters in their lives.

I feel very lucky.

My husband bought my first camera on the 7th of May 2010, the date my first daughters were born, as a gift. I picked it up for the first time in the hospital and started something I did not have a name for yet.

No plan, no roadmap, no certainty of where it would go.

Just a feeling — deep and stubborn — that moments matter. That the things we live through deserve to be held.

16 years later, I am still here. In my very own studio in Cambridge, creating precious memories for clients every day.

I originally come from Rome, where most of my family still lives. Every time we are there, my children ask me to look through the photo albums my mother has religiously made for me. I believe my passion for photography and family memories started in those albums.

One more thing. A while ago, I wrote a little book for children about the importance of memories and shared happiness, which was illustrated by my talented friend Tonka Uzu.

A copy of the book is included in every one of my photography packages.

Photography is so much more than a perfect image to me — that little book will tell you and your baby all about that much more.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope to meet you soon.
