WHO AM I?
Hi, my name is Francisco Cortez, photographer based of the Central Valley with a passion for capturing genuine moments that tell a story. Whether its a Graduation, Wedding, or a simple portrait session, my goal is to create images that feel real and meaningful.
Photography for me means having the opportunity to make connections. That's why I make sure that the client feels comfortable in a relaxed environment. From the first conversation to showing the final gallery, I strive to make the experience enjoyable, stress-free and personalized to their preference. 
My style of photography combines the creative composition, natural emotion and attention to detail. I approach every session with new ideas to make your photos stand out more while keeping your personality and vision at the center of the experience.
Photography is more than just taking a few photos, its about preserving memories, milestones, and relationships that deserve to be remembered for years to come. 
When I'm not taking photos, you will often see me traveling, going to concerts and studying. I'm currently majoring in Civil Engineering at the University of California Merced, going on my third year. Some of my other hobbies include going to the gym, reading, vlogging. I love to meet new people and learn from them. I feel that every person I meet has a story to tell...
So let me tell yours...
