Frances Litman is a passionate artist, photographer and crusader for environmental causes. She has supported herself and numerous charities for her entire working life from her creativity. Her photography has graced book covers, magazines, newspapers, and can be found on websites and hanging on people’s walls far and wide.
In addition to being a full-time professional photographer, Frances also teaches photography and creativity classes with a childlike enthusiasm that brings out the artistic genie in everyone. Her love and concern for the natural world has seen Frances grow into a champion of environmental causes that directly affect all of us from the food we eat to the air we breathe.
Her desire to see others awaken to the beauty and importance of our host planet has led her to create the First Annual Creatively United for the Planet Arts & Cultural Festival to be held during Earth Week, April 20-22, 2012 in support of the many environmental charities working diligently to protect our oceans, forests, air, land and human rights.
In addition to on-going displays of art and photography, the festival will feature on-going musical entertainment, lectures and workshops on a variety of topics, plus an all-ages dance party and a variety of activities.

I am truly dedicated to excellence and in doing so, I strive to not only meet but exceed my client’s expectations with excellent service and eye-catching photography finished to the highest standards in the industry.
When photographing people, it’s crucial for me to quickly put everyone at ease so that they look as relaxed and natural as possible. I make my sessions a fun and pleasurable experience to ensure no one looks stiff or posed. I love to come up with fresh angles and to find the art in everyone and everything.
I conduct my business with professionalism, integrity and honesty. I value my clients and respect and honour their needs.
