Francie Davis - Delaware Francie Davis is an award winning, Delaware based Nature/Landscape Photographer and is known for her spectacular sunsets and stunning reflections. She is an avid lover of nature and holds a deep respect for all God’s creatures, great and small. She considers her photographic journey an ongoing love affair with Mother Nature's beauty. “I find myself drawn to the beauty that surrounds us on a daily basis, whether photographing the large, bright eyes of one of my several kitty cats, or the awesome rays of the fading sun as it peeks through the evening clouds. My love of all things beautiful keeps me constantly challenging myself to learn more ways to capture this amazing world we live in.” Francie has had an interest in photography from a young age, but answered her most important call for family life first. She has taken the long way around to her return to photography, by working in other artistic fields, such as hairstyling and floral arranging. Once she made the decision to reach for her lifelong goal of photography, she immediately started winning local awards and found that there were other uses for her photos, as seen in some of the websites and brochures that have used her photographs.
