Let's make capturing the memories fit your visits.
Visits are short. Schedules are full. Milestones often pass before there is time to document them properly.
I work with cadets and their families to create intentional portrait sessions during those moments. My focus is simple, scheduled photography that fits into real life rather than competing with it.
The time families spend at the United States Air Force Academy moves quickly.
These sessions are built around moments that matter
- Cadets who want clean, straightforward portraits
- Seniors marking their final year
- Families visiting Colorado Springs for limited time together
- Parent groups hosting gatherings and events
My sessions are created for cadets and families who want something more intentional than quick photos taken on a phone.
Photography for select parent club events connected to the United States Air Force Academy community. Optional family mini sessions are available during event weekends.
Parent Club and Events Coverage
A short extension added to any Cadet or Signature session for family portraits. Starting at $125.

Upcoming Session Dates
If you have a specific date in mind, feel free to reach out and I'm happy to see if that fits into my planned travel times.
Both of my siblings are cadets and graduates (c/o 2026 and 2030), which has kept me closely connected to this community for years.
I am a Texas-based photographer and also work in technology consulting and brand and website design. That background shapes how I approach photography. I focus on structure, clarity, and consistency in both process and final images.
My goal is to create portraits that feel honest and steady, without rushing through moments that already pass quickly on their own.
My connection to the United States Air Force Academy comes through my family.
Hi, I'm Francisca
No. I focus on scheduled portrait sessions and select event coverage during Gradation week rather than photographing ceremonies directly.
Do you photograph graduation ceremonies?
Answers to your Frequently Asked Questions
Most sessions take place at or around the Academy. Select sessions at other locations in Colorado Springs can be discussed.
Where do sessions take place?
Cadets typically wear their uniform for at least part of the session. If you would like additional looks, we can plan for that within your session time.
What should be worn during sessions?
As early as possible. Sessions are limited and only available during my scheduled travel windows, and peak times get booked quick!
How far in advance should sessions be booked?
Colorado Springs weather can definitely be unpredictable. If weather affects your scheduled time, we'll adjust within the available window when possible.
What happens if weather is an issue?
Yes. I offer select coverage for parent club events, along with optional family mini sessions during those gatherings at and around USAFA.
Can you be booked for Parents club events?
If you have additional questions or are exploring coverage for other events or gatherings in the Colorado Springs area, feel free to reach out.
These sessions are designed to document that time with intention. Many are centered on senior portraits, while others include family during visits or shared weekends.
Each session is planned to fit naturally into your schedule, without competing with the time you already have together.
