Couples, Proposals, Family and Babymoon Photoshoots

As a prize-winning photographer, I am dedicated to documenting the authentic narrative of your love in the stunning backdrop of France’s Loire Valley.

Through my lens, I seek to reveal the unspoken strength of your bond, the intimacy shared in your glances, and the enduring tenderness that unites you. I provide guidance throughout your session, ensuring you can simply be yourselves; natural, connected, and completely trusting of the process.

This approach allows for the to capture your emotions, shared laughter, and subtle gestures that narrate your unique story.

Whether it's a secretly orchestrated surprise proposal, where I can assist with planning to ensure the moment is perfect, or a shoot to celebrate your relationship.

Based in the heart of Amboise I offer vistas filled with romance: a hand-in-hand stroll through the historical cobblestone streets, an intimate escape into sun-drenched vineyards, or the magical atmosphere of Loire Valley Châteaux for a truly timeless moment.

I offer you timeless memories, images that will forever testify to the beauty of your commitment.
