PARIS FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Fine art & lifestyle Paris family photos

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

Whether you are visiting Paris for the first (or 10th time), and you want refined family photos with the City of Light as your backdrop to document your family vacation. 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.

My fine art lifestyle photography work is perfect for families who value connection, love, authenticity, and those imperfectly perfect moments of family life with young children.

Images with real memories attached to them.

Meaningful Paris family photos during your family vacation

Document those real stories of your Paris family vacation

A family vacation to Paris is such a special and unique experience. Capture your family vacation through timeless and genuine Paris family photos so you can immortalize your Paris adventure.

My relaxed and stress-free approach is ideal for families with young children who want to capture their Paris family vacation through images that are actually meaningful. Images with real memories attached to them.

While I offer sessions in iconic locations (Eiffel Tower or Louvre + Tuileries), your images will not be about those formal, awkwardly posed images of everyone looking into the camera and smiling.

Instead, your Paris family photos will be about those genuine moments of connection, playfulness, and fun. So you can have a collection of meaningful images to share with your children and talk about your unforgettable Paris family vacation.

Sessions are available indoors (in your hotel or Airbnb), outdoors (iconic locations and parks), or a combination of both.

I believe your family photos are meant to show all the genuine love and connection you have for one another.

The Approach

As a lifestyle Paris family photographer, I approach your session with a mix of natural and soft posing and real and improvised moments. Capture them as they naturally unfold. Resulting in a relaxing and stress-free experience.

I will take care of all the details while you fully enjoy the experience of being together, resulting in a collection of timeless photographs that will forever encapsulate the love, laughter, and cherished moments of your Parisian vacation.

Your final images will include a variety of portraits and storytelling family photos. All family photoshoots include a variety of moments and groupings: the whole family, mom and kids, dad and kids, kids and each child alone.

The practical details about your Paris family photoshoot experience

Session duration

Outdoor and studio sessions typically last 45-60 min, and in-home sessions last 1-2 hours.

However, my approach is very relaxing with no “time pressure”. I typically stay for as long as needed to deliver an image collection with a great variety of moments. As such, breaks and in-between chats are an expected part of your maternity and newborn session. Because I want you to have a comfortable and stress-free experience.


Locations

Sessions are available in your home and outdoors (both Paris and Toulouse). For outdoor sessions, you can choose from curated list of locations that photograph well. Typically, for maternity sessions, I recommend an outdoor session (from April-October) or in your home during the cold months. For a newborn session, the ideal place is in the comfort of your home, especially if your home has walls and decor in neutral or light tones.


What to wear

Choosing what to wear can feel like added stress when preparing for a 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

Please rest assured that your child will love the experience. During your Paris family photo session, I will follow a child-led approach.

As the session progresses, I will step back more and more and let you enjoy your family with minimal (or no) interference.

Also, sessions are meant to be fairly “short” while also including enough image variety for you to choose from in your final image gallery.
