Because Memories Last Longer Than Things
Looking for a meaningful gift? Something that won’t end up forgotten in a drawer? Give a photo session gift card, a present filled with emotion, connection, and lasting memories.
My sessions are all about real moments: laughter, love, daily chaos, and everything that makes life beautifully imperfect. Whether it’s a family’s everyday story, a special milestone, or the face behind a personal brand, a photo session is a way to capture life as it truly feels.
Choose between several gift card options, from a single session to a full year’s storytelling experience, and make someone’s story unforgettable. Each gift card can be beautifully wrapped, sent digitally, or personalized with a message from you.
✨ Your Options
🎁 Each session is personalized, easy to schedule, and designed to make the experience as relaxed and joyful as the photos themselves.
📸 Gift cards are available all year round, beautifully designed, ready to print or send digitally. Because the best gift you can give is time, presence, and memories that never fade.

Each gift card can be used for:
📸 A family session full of authentic moments
💼 A personal branding shoot that shows the real you
💍 A special occasion worth remembering
💞 Or a yearly story told in four sessions and a beautiful photo book
For a limited time, you can save 10% on all photo session gift cards and give the people you love a truly personal present: time together, laughter, and memories that last.
✨ Offer valid until December 15th 2025
We didn't have to do anything, say anything, or do anything "right."
We've done several photoshoots as a family, but somehow it always felt a bit staged. With Francesca, it was completely different. As a documentary photographer, she manages to stay in the background while still being in the center of the action. Everyone was allowed to just be who they were and that's exactly what you see in the pictures.
She captured those small, genuine moments: the loving look, a spontaneous hug, the quiet togetherness on the sofa. You immediately notice that Francesca is a mother herself, she knows the hustle and bustle of family life, brings calmness, and treats children (and parents!) with a great deal of understanding and warmth.
Yes! Payment plans are available upon request. Just ask, and we’ll find a solution that works for you.
Of course. A beautifully designed photo album is available as an add-on for €300. It’s a timeless way to preserve your memories. We can talk about the format that you wish to have and I can advise you with the best solutions.
Yes, you can extend your session time for €150 per additional hour, depending on availability.
There’s no need to dress up, this is all about your real life. Wear what feels comfortable and authentic to your family. If you’d like a bit of guidance, I’m happy to help. Add that in the documentary session I take photos of reality at home mostly so you can also wear your pajamas or underwear or ask for a skin to skin session with your baby while being in bed...there are no rules. Visit my portfolio.
Yes! If you’re happy for me to use some of your images for my portfolio (without names or personal details), you’ll receive a 10% discount on your session.
Not at all. Most families I work with feel the same. My approach is calm, friendly, and documentary, I won’t ask you or your kids to pose or perform. You’ll quickly forget I’m there, and that’s when the magic happens. Longer session are the best to get the real documentary photos.
Just send me a message using the contact form or via email. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible so we can find the right time and package for your family. During the phone call we can go over further details, and I will answer all your questions and find a date for the photo shoot together. I will then send you a contract. Only once you have signed the contract and paid a deposit of 200 euro will the appointment be set. You will then receive a confirmation of the appointment by e-mail. More info here.
Then we’ll reschedule the session, and I’ll do my best to find a new date as soon as possible. I’m very much aware that there are times of the year when illness spreads quickly at daycare. I’m a mother too. Try to call me anyway 24 hours before our scheduled photo shooting if you think that will not be possible.
Absolutely! I offer beautifully designed gift vouchers, a wonderful and meaningful present for a birth, birthday, or any other special occasion. Just ask me or visit this page for more info.
