Nelson Commercial Photographer

Why hire me as your commercial photographer?

Fun fact - in my previous career I was a social media manager, with six years of marketing experience.

This means, not only do I have the photography skills to capture some awesome content for your social media, website, and advertising, but I’ve also got the professional knowledge to know what works, what doesn’t, and what will blow your competitors out of the water.

Personality-driven commercial photography for the businesses of Nelson Tasman & beyond.

“I literally couldn’t be happier with the photos that Francesca shot for me.

I knew I wanted to get some photos done for my business, but I struggled to find someone who was creating great work and was upfront with their process and their pricing like Francesca is... so when I found her, I was very excited to book in ASAP.

Now I’ve got a ton of amazing images that I can use for my business over and over. She was so thoughtful and had clearly done her homework regarding my business, so all the poses were easy and created very usable photos.

But most of all, I have the memories of a seriously fun day of Francesca helping me feel more comfortable and letting my true self shine through my photos... yes, I know this is cheesy, but it’s 100% the case for me.

Every time I look at those photos, I think of that day and how the photos truly reflect how I want to present myself to my clients. Not many photographers can do that the way Francesca can.

Writing this is getting me excited for my next shoot with her! If you have the chance to work with her, DO IT! She’s awesome and incredibly talented.”

Why is commercial photography so important?

Did you know that a potential customer will make their mind up about your business within seconds of visiting your website? Unless they’re a freakishly speedy readers, that means it’s the imagery you’re displaying that’s telling the story of you and what you do. Don’t make the mistake of using drab and unprofessional photos, after all a picture speaks a thousand words.

Some of the businesses and brands I’ve worked with:

Francesca came highly recommended as photographer for our Fashion for a Cure fundraising event in Nelson. We needed a photographer who could skilfully capture the not only the fashion on the runway but also the essence of the event, Francesca exceeded our expectations. From the outset it was clear that she was committed to our cause, and made sure she understood all of our requirements and the multiple ways the images would be used.


Francesca was incredible to have at the event, she made sure she had full information prior to the event and was able to hit the ground running on arrival. She went above and beyond to capture shots that more than met our needs delivered a stunning collection of photographs, even providing a selection within 12 hours! We were very impressed with Francesca and look forward to collaborating with her again at our next event.
