Paris Photoshoots

The best time for photo shoots is early in the morning or late in the afternoon. These times provide the best, most flattering light. My personal recommendation for timing is in the morning as there are fewer people out and about who we will need to dodge as we take the photos.  

Any photoshoot package you book with me will include the option to have multiple outfit changes—the sky is the limit here! Bring as many outfits as you’d like, as long as you bear in mind the time allotment. As far as specifics, couples usually aim to match in some regard. You don’t have to wear identical outfits but could wear complimentary colours or tones, like both wear jewel tones or neutrals. Remember not to wear anything too busy or fussy—this can distract from the photo.

For women, you can’t go wrong with a flowy dress with lots of movement. If you want to wear heels, I recommend bringing a pair of flats or sandals to walk between locations. Remember, Paris is an old city, so many of the streets are cobblestone, which is not very heel-friendly! For guys, semi-formal or plain slacks and a button-down shirt always looks great.

If you book my VIP experience or above, you also get access to my studio wardrobe. This is a collection of gorgeous gowns, cocktail dresses, formal wear, and accessories. I have a range of sizes to fit my clientele. You can see a bit of what I have available by flipping through some of my photos, and you can learn more in my blog post about my Studio Wardrobe.

If you want, we can also utilize some props for the photos! Think about what might best symbolize your relationship, or if you want to do some especially Parisian props like berets or baguettes. Remember to have fun with it, as this couple did with their picnic-themed Paris photo shoot.

I value communication highly when I’m booking a photo shoot, whether it’s a solo shoot, one with a couple, or with a family. We can try to organise a video or audio chat before the date of your scheduled shoot so we can talk through your vision and goals for the session however if you prefer to stick with emails that is fine too!  Anything works as long as we get an open communication channel established!

I highly suggest you consider a hair and makeup professional to assist with your look before the shoot. Getting professionally “done up” can be an extremely rewarding experience, and I find it helps people feel extra confident in front of the camera! If you go for a professional hair and makeup artist, keep in mind they average around €250. Please add up to 90 minutes to allow for time for this appointment.

From 2023 I have introduced an Online Gallery where you can choose your final photos. It will be ready for you to view within 7-14 days. We can discuss this further during the booking process.
