Solo Photoshoot in Paris
Paris Photoshoots for Solo Travelers
Photoshoots at the Eiffel Tower are a famous bucket list item for solo travelers in Paris. But of course, there is so much more to Paris than just our Iron Lady – I love photoshoots all over this beautiful city and I am happy to brainstorm with you to create your dream photoshoot.
Photoshoots at sunrise are popular for the most beautiful light – and considerably fewer tourists to compete with – however, it really depends on the location and what you desire for your photos.
There is nothing more fun than dressing up for a photo shoot and visiting some of the world’s most famous iconic sights at the same time!
Following are some blog posts about my brave and courageous solo traveler clients. I hope you enjoy their stories and if you are looking for your own Paris Photographer maybe they will inspire you to book your own photoshoot with me. It would be my pleasure!

If you feel nervous or shy or are thinking you could never be so bold as to do your own photoshoot…. Please stop right there. I passionately believe that each of us deserves to have beautiful, well-thought-out portraits that show us in our best light. Phone cameras – either hand-held for a selfie or by a family member – simply cannot offer you this. A professional photographer is an expert at lighting, posing, finding the angle that suits you the most, capturing spontaneous moments that show the real you, and so on so on so on !
Also, I am your biggest cheerleader and I’ll give you as many directions and posing prompts as needed. There is usually a lot of laughing. We can also confuse the public at the same time… “is she some kind of celebrity?”
