Photographer in Paris, France. Paris photographer

• DO YOU DO PORTRAIT SHOOTS?

Yes we do all sorts of portrait shoots, including solo portrait shoots, pre wedding / engagement shoots, old lovers and family too.

• I HATE POSING FOR PICTURES. DO I HAVE TO POSE?

We don’t think it looks natural either. We actually make it fun so you don't even think about the photography process. We will show you how to pose and then we let the emotions come naturally

• WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF DAY FOR A PORTRAIT SESSION?

The two times of day with the most beautiful light for portrait sessions here in Paris are early morning and just before sunset. The last hour before the sun goes down is known to photographers as the “magic hour” and as long as there aren’t clouds in the sky, images taken at this time will be dreamy, glowy and gorgeous. But we can always find shade if the timing isn’t ideal.

• WHERE WILL OUR SESSION TAKE PLACE?

Location depends on your style and vision for the session. Based on your preferences, we will send a list of recommended locations to select between.

• WHAT SHOULD WE WEAR?

The better approach is select a complimentary color pallet. We would like to review your outfits via email before your session.

Approximately 7 days after your session, you will receive an online gallery of digital images from your session. Prints are not included in the price of your session.

• WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?

If it is pouring with rain we will reschedule to a mutually convenient date. Light wind and showers are no obstacle to me so we will go ahead as planned! Umbrellas, duck in and out of cover or find a cool bar to chill until it passes.
