Claire graduated from the National Art School in Darlinghurst where her
specialisation was photography. She commenced trading under the name
frangipani designs in 2000 on a part time basis, initially designing and
manufacturing wedding invitations. She soon moved on to other areas of graphic
design and then, in 2008, after working and gaining experience in various
photographers studios, she took the opportunity to develop her own full time
business as a child and family photographer.
Since then she has established a reputation for capturing her clients families in a
relaxed and informal manner. Her work clearly shows her enthusiasm for what
she creates and her generous interaction with kids and families. She excels at
using the natural light and surrounding bush of the North Shore where she is
based, but her reputation has now become Sydney wide and she has even been
asked to broaden her work to include commercial and product photography.
frangipani designs has now grown to the stage where it has developed a
complete range of offerings in addition to photography, including:
-branding and logo design
-invitation design
-intimate event styling
-digital photo restoration
-digital retouching
-scanning printing and framing
Recently Claire launched a new business called 17 studios which creates pieces
