Solo Photoshoot in Paris

Paris Photoshoots for Solo Travelers

While photoshoots at the Eiffel Tower are a popular bucket-list experience for solo travellers in Paris, the city offers so much more beyond its iconic Iron Lady. Explore my blog posts below to discover the hidden gems and charming corners of Paris where I’ve captured my clients.

A photoshoot of myself? But why…?

Are you wondering if booking a photoshoot might feel a little self-indulgent? Or maybe you’re worried that stepping in front of the camera will feel awkward or unnatural? If so, you’re not alone—many of my clients feel the same way at first.

But participating in a photoshoot is more than just posing for pictures; it’s a celebration of who you are. It’s an opportunity to see yourself in a new light and to capture the beauty and strength that others see in you.

Some of the most rewarding experiences come from stepping outside your comfort zone.

You’ll walk away not only with stunning portraits but also with a renewed sense of self-confidence.

I can’t recommend Rachel enough! I travelled alone to Paris for a few days and booked a short and sweet with Rachel to capture some memories from my trip. She made me feel comfortable right away and the pictures are 😙🤌🏻

LYNETTE

You are incredible!!! I mean – I would be lying if I didn’t immediately pick myself apart. But once I got over that, I really love them. And the quality of the photos is just impeccable!!

Is this weird but now having seen the photos I want to do it again! Not a do over but just more. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about them and so was a bit anxious but now want to plan next time.

SARAH

Following are several blog posts about my photoshoots with courageous solo travelling women.
