How to plan your photo session in Paris
Before your photo shoot
During the photo shoot
04/
Outfits
You can dress up for the occasion or just stay casual. Just be yourself. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable during the session. If you choose multiple locations and you would love to be on heels, bring some sandals just in case to be able to walk more easily between shots.
05/
Change outfits
You can change outfits only if you choose a session that last more than one hour. Otherwise it can take too long and we will have less time for taking pictures. You can do it in a café or we can also rent a Van. Bring a comfortable bag or suitcase to carry everything easily. Just bring what you really need.
06/
Seasons
Don't forget each season of the year have a different weather. It can get very cold in winter as it can very hot in summer. Come light, bring just what you need because we walk around the location to take different pictures, and to carry too much stuff can be a tedious work.
07/
First photo shoot
You don't need to worry if you are camera shy of if it's your first photo shoot. I can guide during the session and give you some tips to feel comfortable. In any case, please le me know BEFORE the shoot, your desires, your wishes, your personal requests, so I can figure out what kind of photo shoot is more adequate to you.
08/
Bad weather
We must keep in touch even a few hours before the session. In case of bad weather I will contact you reschedule our photo shoot according to your agenda and mine. In case we can not make it happen I will refund your money.
09/
Little rain or little snow
Little rains can be an occasion for an empty Paris and exceptional light reflections. We still can get some beautiful pictures in the city, under your umbrella or in covered places like alleys, galleries, cafés... If you are motivated we can make it happen!

Running late
I understand that you can have some problems to arrive to our meeting point. Paris is a busy city. That said, just as you’d expect your photographer to arrive on time,I ask that you kindly arrive punctually as well. I book multiple shoots per day and need to make sure that I'm available for my next booking. The maximum amount of time I contractually wait for you at the agreed meeting point is 20 minutes from your official starting time. I can't always extend your photo coverage complimentary to account for the time lost due to your late arrival.

Selected images
If you have very specific images in your head that you would like to reproduce, please keep me informed before the shoot. I will guide you during the photo shoot with poses and proposing different locations. If you interrupt the photographer each time you want to disagree, then we will be running out of time. All the matters have to be settled before the session.
