Two things I find important for you

When it comes to planning a photo session abroad, it’s always better to have some information beforehand—here are a two essential tips to help you have a successful photoshoot in Paris.
 
Let’s talk about outfits
 
Obviously, your outfits and accessories will have a direct impact on the final result—they define your personality and mood. Everyone has their own style and preferences, and I’m comfortable with all of them as long as you are happy and confident with your choice.
 
Paris looks amazing in pictures—and so will you. The city embraces every style—whether dressy or causal, both work beautifully for photos.
 
My recommendation, since this isn’t an everyday trip, is to bring a slightly elevated selection of outfits. You will thank me later.
 
It can be a flowy dress, coordinated colors or styles, soft tones or bold colors—you will look great because it reflects your personality.
 
Take a look at my website and Instagram—you’ll find plenty of inspiration there.
 
 
Let’s talk about poses
 
I remember, with gratitude, clients telling me after their session how happy they were—and how surprised they were that it was actually fun. Most of the time, it was the gentlemen who said that.
 
When it comes to posing, I believe there are only two things to focus on: inspiration and trust.
 
Inspiration is part of the conversation we’ll have when planning your session.
I’ll invite you to share what you like—It’s important that you tell me—and if you don’t have anything in mind, no problem at all, I have plenty of ideas and references.
 
Trust is the connection we build during the session. 
Everyone is different, and some people just need a bit more guidance—and that’s perfectly fine. I usually start by taking a few photos and showing them to you from the back of my camera, so you can see how it looks and be part of the process. 
Communicating with my clients is the most important part of my work as a photographer. 
Depending on the moment, I’ll guide you, suggest ideas, or simply go with the flow.
 
Step by step, we create your photo session—your story.
