Memories to keep for life

My story

Originally a French native, I’m a Boston photographer who’s traveled the world living in 4 different countries and 7 cities. I lived and loved Finland, US, France and Mexico — experiencing countries steeped in culture means I’ve come away with a unique perspective that allows me to capture the essence of my subjects, no matter where they’re from or who they are.

Besides valuable life experience, I picked up several languages along the way. I’m fluent in French, Spanish and English which have allowed me to connect with people from a variety of backgrounds, and put people at ease in photoshoots in their native language.

As a French ex-pat living in Boston, I've also picked up on some quirky habits that I just can't help but laugh about. I'm pretty sure I eat way too much cheese and chocolate — it's just too good to resist! I love the Boston accent so much that I've started incorporating it into my own French accent (I'm sure it sounds ridiculous, but hey, it's all in good fun).

One thing that always surprises me about Americans is how quickly they speak. I feel like I need a translator just to keep up! As for the concept of coffee-to-go — coming from a French person, I firmly believe that coffee should be savored and enjoyed in a proper mug, not chugged down like a supplement… But if you want to bring your cup of Joe to the photoshoot I won’t judge you too much!

Work Values

Creative approach

Collaboration

I truly believe that my success as a Boston event photographer is rooted in my connection with people from all walks of life, including those with disabilities, prosthetics, artists, students, newborn babies, and more. Stemming from my natural ability to make my clients feel comfortable and at ease, I pride myself on being a non-judgmental photographer, which naturally translates into a candid style of photography that captures the true essence of my subjects.

Fun & Relaxed

My French heritage brings a lot of character and humor to my work as a Boston photographer. I love to laugh and have fun with my clients, and I'm not afraid to poke fun at myself along the way. So if you're looking for a Boston family photographer who will bring a little joie de vivre to your shoot, look no further!

Natural

Don’t worry — I won’t be telling you to say ‘cheese!’ at every click of my camera either! Nor do I intend to tell you what to do. Your photos are yours and my aim is to enhance your creations, not change them to show you to be something you’re not. My approach as a Boston event photographer is about bringing out people’s true personalities and being ‘in the moment’ with a touch of humor and humility.

Personalized

I've got two things working in perfect harmony: my eyes and my ears. That means I'm not only ready to capture your perfect moments, but also ready to listen to your needs and preferences. And if there's something you're not comfortable with, no worries - you call the shots! Whether it's a wedding, engagement, family day out or more, you're in good hands with me, your trusty local Boston event photographer.

Work With Me: Candid Creations By A Boston Photographer

As a Cambridge/Boston photographer, I've got a front-row seat to all the quirky charm that this area has to offer. From the bustling streets of Harvard Square to the serene beauty of the Charles River, there's never a dull moment when you're shooting Boston street photography in Beantown!

I love working with all kinds of clients, but there are a few types of photography that really light my creative fire. As a Boston engagement photographer, I love working with proposals — there's nothing quite like the rush of excitement that comes with capturing the moment when someone pops the question.

Family shoots are always a blast too. As a Boston family photographer, I’ve loved working with clients all over the city. Whether we're chasing after little ones or coaxing a smile out of a reluctant teenager, I love the challenge of capturing those authentic family moments. On the other hand, graduation photos and headshots in Boston are a great way to showcase my clients' unique personalities and talents.

So if you're looking for a Boston event photographer who knows how to have fun while still delivering top-notch results, get in touch with me! I’d love to meet you and hear your story, and work with you to plan a shoot that brings your vision to life.
