As a lifestyle Paris family photographer, my purpose is to capture your family through beautiful and timeless images that celebrate connection and genuine emotions.

Or, you live in Paris and are searching for a local maternity, newborn, or family photographer to capture family life in your home or at a lovely open park.

What makes your experience unique & stress-free

Natural “posing”

During your maternity, newborn, and family session, you will be guided through prompts and very natural directing (“posing”). This approach results in candid images filled with love, connection, and joy. And it allows for a relaxing and stress-free experience


Refine aesthetic

Your images will be captured with a refined aesthetic for beautiful and natural skin tones and a timeless feel. With my signature fine art look to colors and light, my aim is to create for you images that stand the test of time


Dresses for mom

Choosing what to wear can feel like added stress when preparing for a maternity, newborn, or family session. That’s why moms can borrow a dress from the studio wardrobe at no extra cost. You will also receive detailed guidance for coordinating outfits for all the family
