THE EXPERIENCE

HOW IT WORKS

01 Choose Your Paris Photoshoot Package

Couples, lifestyle, family, personal branding, surprise proposal - all my packages are time based. How long you want your Paris photoshoot to be. Each package has a minimum number of edited photos delivered, but you always get above that minimum.

02 LOCATION + TIMING

Morning sun, empty streets, incredible views—Paris becomes our playground for your photos. It might be a little hard to wake up super early while traveling, but the prime time for photoshoots in Paris is 30 to 45 minutes after sunrise. If the morning is not possible, that’s ok; we will make it happen. Just remember, there will be more people, and some locations may not work. Example, Trocadero is not an option after 10 AM, yet the lower gardens can be used.

It's your first time in Paris or your 5th visit? For first timers, here is my Paris photoshoot LOCATION GUIDE. These are the most classic and gorgeous spots for your photos. For you experienced visitors or first timers, if you have a specific location in mind that is not in my guide, I am always open to exploring new places! Just let me know and I will get busy studying your suggestion.

One location is possible for the 30-minute and 1-hour photoshoots; more locations and outfits can be added for the other longer packages.

Here is a Blog Post with my main tip to help you select your dream locations.

03 BOOKING + PLANNING

To finalize your reservation, I ask for a refundable deposit of €100 via PayPal. The rest of the payment is due at the end of the session in cash or via SumUp (credit card/Google or Apple Pay.)

Why a deposit? It is a contract to my Terms and Conditions, which you can read here.

Transportation during the photoshoot - I can arrange this in advance and the cost will be added to the package. Some locations are a short walk away. If you choose a walking route, a good tip for women is to have a pair of walking shoes if you wear heels for the photos.

Larger groups - the process of photographing larger groups is slower, more people means more portraits all around. This is a worthy note for comeback clients who moved from a solo or couple shoot to a family shoot. My attention will be divided to all the members of the group to make beautiful portraits. Also, Taxi Vans will be our tool to move between locations.

04 PHOTO DAY

Time to have fun creating beautiful art!

To start the experience as smooth as possible, I happily recommend  G7 Taxis that you can book in advance via their website to get to our meeting. Or ask your hotel if they can book you one in advance. Uber is a game of chance - it will either work like a charm or make you late for our appointment. Here is a blogpost about why I recommend G7.

When we start our photoshoot, you will get guidance in posing naturally and also action prompts to create fun moments for the photos. We can coordinate ahead of time any necessary café stops if we're doing a longer shoot. There, we can do an outfit change and take cute photos. You have a crazy idea to add to your Paris portraits? Let me know. We can pop open a bottle of champagne and have a toast. How about a picnic in one of the many gorgeous gardens? Or a vintage car with a driver? All this is possible for your Photo Day and all we need is to let me know.

Creating your dream photos and having fun is my goal.

05 DELIVERY

The photos will be uploaded to our online client gallery between 2 and 4 weeks after the shoot, and you will receive the gallery link in your email. If you need them delivered faster, please let me know to make it happen.

All the photos are jpg files in the maximum resolution of our cameras - they range from 20 to 34 megapixels. Make sure you download the entire album in the original high-resolution size option and keep them safe. Here is a gallery with sample albums if you’re curious about how the gallery system works and what each Paris season looks like in pictures. Finally, do let me know if you require a model release for a printing service.
