Hi, I'm Gary Francis Jr.
I am the C.E.O. and owner of TFL STUDIO. I am a published photographer from The Bahamas. Although, truth be told, I didn't set out to be one. I'm really a musician who needed some photos of my band, but couldn't find a photographer... so I took them myself. (They were terrible in retrospect. Lol.) However, that one instance sparked my LOVE for photography. As I have always possessed a love and appreciation for artistic expression, creativity, and being in a moment, photography became my way of encompassing all of those things in one shutter click.
In the 10+ years since my journey into the world of photography, I have photographed countless Fashion Models, Weddings, Christenings, Professional Headshots, Landscapes, and even explored the erotic and sensual world of Boudoir (I call "Intimates"). My goal is always to capture the moment in its most natural and beautifully appealing form. Showing the beauty in a moment or a person that one might not see themselves.
I truly love what I do!
Hi loves! I'm Carenique Francis
I am the wife of the C.E.O, Gary L Francis Jr. He brought me into the fold as his assistant and taught me everything I now know. What he couldn't teach me though, was my natural people skills.
My willingness to want to create beautiful memories with my clients and feel their joy at the end of a great shoot makes this journey worthwhile, and blossomed this passion.
As I continue on my journey, the definition of my photography will always be CAPTURING JOY.
