I am a wife and mother ... I am a daughter and sister ... I am a dreamer and believer ... AND ... I am a photographer!
As long as I can remember I have dreamt of doing nothing different. I married young and spent 6 years as a Navy wife, it was during this time that I started taking photography classes. I spend endless hours mastering my techniques. I'm a true believer that you should learn something new every day, and if you have a dream you should go for it with all your heart.
My Studio is located in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. We are an award-winning family run business. Our style varies with our clients, but it's always fresh, chic, and fun. Variety is what we love; you'll find us shooting engagements and weddings with strong attention to details. Boudoir, maternity, portraits, seniors, headshots and corporate. We are memorized by the sweetness of a new baby and the wonderings of a toddler.
Let us capture you!!

Friend me on Facebook: Francine Smith-PhotographerBob & Dawn
Bob and I are married and live in the Moon Township area. We have 2 children. I grew up with the love of the camera; continuously shooting family and friends pictures… there was rarely an event that I wasn’t asked to bring my camera. Years ago Bob found his love of taking pictures when our daughter started playing on her School’s Basketball team. That has blossomed into a passion for High School Sports Photography. Both Bob & I have continuously enhanced our skills by taking a variety of photography classes. We have mentored with other photographers over the years to continuously become better photographers!
We totally love what we do and know we have been blessed because we have the best career in the world! All you will need to do is spend 10 minutes with us and you would agree. We love to laugh. We love to have fun. We love the challenge of photographing people we have yet to meet or places we have yet to see. In addition to our professionalism, the two comments we hear over and over is about our sense of humor and how much at ease we make everyone feel. We like for our clients feel their Photo Session is a special time in their lives and we’re so glad that we’re a part of it!
