COMMUNITY

CELEBRATION
You have contributed to others in your professional and/or personal spheres, it is now your moment to be recognized, acknowledged, and commemorated. As women, we downplay our accomplishments in a manner distinct from men, who may find self-promotion more inherent. Allow us the privilege of celebrating you.
LEGACY
Photographs of our loved ones endure beyond their time and ours. Today presents a poignant opportunity to craft portraits that of you that resonate deeply, evoking profound affection and destined to be treasured for many generations to come.
YOU’RE PROBABLY ASKING “WHY SHOULD I EVEN DO THIS?”
It’s about so much more than just “taking pretty pictures.” My hope is for you to truly reconnect with yourself and see your beauty the way others already see you. Show that feminine strength and beauty only blossoms with age. Tell your story about what it means to be a woman who is advancing in age, in today’s world.

FEW REASONS WHY WOMEN CHOOSE THIS EXPERIENCE

What other women are saying…
I had so much fun during my session. Spending an hour in hair and makeup really helped me relax. Caroline’s instructions for how to pose were so clear, and once I warmed up a little, I had a blast! I have my favourite portrait on my bedside table, where I can see it every morning when I wake up. It simply makes me feel confident and beautiful. I wanted the photos to capture my vitality and excitement about this next phase of my life, and Caroline did that perfectly. Age is just a number—when I look at my gorgeous portraits, I don’t feel any age at all, I just feel like my best self. Thank you, Caroline, for such a tremendous experience!
When I spoke to Caroline on the phone, I immediately felt at ease and knew she would be the perfect person to tell my story through pictures. I originally wanted to get head shots for business but what was decided upon was to bring the new me to life through photos. She was so professional and had hair and makeup ready to go. All I had to do was bring in some outfits and shoes. We do love our shoes!
Upon entering the studio I was nervous and really didn’t think I was going to be able to do anything. I was afraid to smile and was very timid. After having my hair and makeup done I had the first outfit on and what came next was nothing short of a miracle. Caroline was so easy to work with and she was able to bring to light a new more confident Bobbi-Jo. Afterwards it was so hard to choose. I really didn’t think I was getting anything but the headshots and I walked away with buying one of her collections. I am so happy with this session. I would highly recommend Franctal Studio for any of your photography needs.
I have never liked myself in photos, so when I saw this opportunity, I realized I needed to jump out of my comfort zone. If Caroline had photographed others who weren’t photogenic, then perhaps she could capture my personality and inner beauty. She did not disappoint. From the first moment I met Caroline, she was warm, friendly and accepting. I instantly felt at ease with her. The photo shoot was amazing! It’s been a long time since I’ve done anything just for me. From hair and make-up to my favourite playlist to awkward poses, Caroline made the day fun and relaxing. Of 180 photos, I narrowed it down to 60! Wow, I wasn’t expecting to like any of them (because of me, not because of her talent). I highly recommend Franctal Studio.
Caroline let me through every single phase of the preparation as if I was the only person she needed to spend time with. I never felt rushed, alone, or overwhelmed. The information that was shared with me about the shoot was incredibly helpful and true to what the experience was.
The day of the shoot was easy. Much easier than I thought it would be. Getting my hair and makeup done was a treat that I recommend to everyone. It was the perfect way to get me in the right frame of mind for the shoot. Caroline’s studio is bright and colourful, just like her photos. The poses were sometimes challenging but Caroline was so patient and showed me everything to change and do. PLUS she encouraged me to have fun. And I did! I felt so comfortable posing that the time flew by! I couldn’t believe when it was over. I wanted to keep going and do more and more and more!
Once I saw the final product, I was not disappointed. Caroline has an incredible eye for composition and colour. My portraits are something I will cherish forever. I can’t believe its me!
If you have the opportunity to do a shoot with Caroline, take it! You won’t be sorry.
