Question 1

How do I book a photo session in Paris?

Accepted Answer

Simply send me a message through the contact form with your preferred date, time, and the type and length of session you have in mind. Got questions?Feel free to reach out — I’m happy to help. I usually reply within 1–2 days. Once everything is confirmed, a deposit will secure your spot, and the remaining balance can be paid after the session.

Question 2

How much does a photoshoot in Paris cost?

Accepted Answer

Session prices depends on the duration of the session.Packages start at 210€ for a quick 30-minute session. The most popular option is the 2-hour experience, 490€, which give us time to explore two iconic locations such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre. Take a look at the packages page for full details, and feel free to reach out — I’d love to help plan your Paris session.

Question 3

How does booking and payment work?

Accepted Answer

A 50€ deposit is required to confirm your photo session. The remaining balance can be paid after the session, either in cash or via other payment methods.

Question 4

Can you help with posing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely — I love helping with that. We’ll talk about your inspiration beforehand, and if you don’t have any, that’s totally fine. I’m here to guide you and make it happen.

Question 5

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Paris embraces every style — whether dressy or casual, both work beautifully for photos. Since this isn’t an everyday trip, I recommend bringing a slightly elevated selection of outfits. You’ll be glad you did. Comfortable shoes for walking between locations are definitely recommended!

Question 6

I don’t speak French, is that a problem?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not — no need to worry. During my student years, I spent a year in England (in Canterbury) learning English, and since then I’ve loved speaking it. Between you and me, sometimes I even feel a little American myself…just with a touch of French accent.

Question 7

Are you the best Paris photographer?

Accepted Answer

Probably not — but I do my best to create top result, that’s my goal, my ambition. As a matter of fact I do know the best, and she’s a real inspiration to me.

Question 8

What is the best time of day for a photo session?

Accepted Answer

I might be a little biased, but sunrise sessions are my all-time favorite. There’s a special kind of magic in Paris at that time — soft light, quiet streets, and almost no crowds. It’s a beautiful way to experience the city, often ending the session with a coffee at your favorite café. That said, I’ve also had many wonderful sessions in the late afternoon, even with the occasional large crowd. Tell me a little about you and your plans — the ideal timing can change depending on whether you’re a couple, a family, or traveling solo.

Question 9

What locations are included in the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Each session is organized around one major landmark per hour — such as the Eiffel Tower area, the Louvre, or Montmartre, etc. I always listen to what you have in mind, and together we’ll decide on the best place to start your session. It’s a team work.

Question 10

Can you help with finding a makeup artist?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.  I have a few trusted contacts and will be happy to share them with you — just let know.

Question 11

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

If we have a light sprinkles, the session can still happen — it can even add a very romantic touch to the photos. I usually recommend bringing an umbrella to play with. If the rain gets a bit stronger, we can wait for a while and hopefully continue the session afterward. If the rain becomes too heavy, we’ll try to reschedule later the same day or another day, depending on our availability. Paris weather can be quite unpredictable, and the reality is often different from the forecast.

Question 12

What is this option with an assistant?

Accepted Answer

If you’d like, I can organize for an assistant to join us during the session. This is always a great help: you can fully focus on enjoying the experience with your loved ones while my assistant takes care of your belongings and helps keep the session running smoothly. Game changer.

Question 13

What happens if I’m late?

Accepted Answer

I will be sad… and you don’t want me to be sad, right?

More seriously, I often have several sessions scheduled in a row. If you’re late for the first one, I may not be able to extend the session because I’ll need to honor my next booking.

But don’t worry — I will send you all the details beforehand (meeting point, map, and time), so everything should be easy and clear.

Thank you for your understanding.

Question 14

Can I change outfits during the session?

Accepted Answer

I usually recommend outfit changes only for multi-hour sessions.

Changing outfits can take a bit of time. Most of the time we stop at a café where you can use the restroom to change while enjoying a drink. Even with superpowers, it doesn’t happen in the blink of an eye.

Another option is to rent a van, which we can use to move between locations and as a private space to change.

Question 15

Do I choose the pictures to be edited?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.Shortly after the session, you’ll receive a link to access your private online gallery. From there, you can select your favorite photos to be edited.Each session includes a different number of edited images.You will also have the option to purchase additional edited photos, or even the full gallery of unedited images if you wish.

Question 16

How much editing do you do?

Accepted Answer

The package price includes lighting adjustments, colors calibration, and overall enhancements to achieve a result similar to what you see here and on my instagram.

If you have any question, please let me know.

Many options are available, and it all depends on your budget.

Question 17

How do we receive our images?

Accepted Answer

We deliver the photos to you via a private online gallery.You will receive a code to access the gallery and download your stunning photos.

Question 18

How do we move from one locations to the next?

Accepted Answer

For a session organized around one main location, we will walk between the different spots.They are all located within few minutes of each other. For a multi hour session, we will drive around with Uber, taxi or a private van.Taxi is a good option because it is authorized to use the bus lanes, allowing a faster journey.I can help with the private van, just let me know.
