From France to the US – My Adventure Begins


In March 2015, I found myself itching for something new. I was a little tired of my routine back in France and dreaming of adventure, so I jumped into the au pair experience. What was supposed to be a one-year adventure quickly turned into two because I was having such an amazing time exploring a new country, meeting incredible people, and embracing this new chapter of my life.

And guess what? It’s a really good thing I stayed for that second year, because just three months before I was supposed to return to France, I met a guy. Not just any guy—the man who would become the love of my life! Pretty crazy, right? I changed my whole life for him and moved to the US for good. Best decision ever.


Why I Became a Photographer – Turning Moments into Memories


Along with falling in love with my husband, I also rediscovered my lifelong love for photography. I grew up in France surrounded by family, memories, and cameras. My mom and I would spend hours in the darkroom, developing photos, and that’s where my passion for capturing life’s special moments began.

After my not-so-great experience with my own wedding photos, I realized how important it is to have someone who truly gets how special moments are. That’s when I decided to become a photographer who captures those precious, real-life memories that people can cherish forever.


Life, Love, and a Little Girl Named Charly Rose


Fast forward to today, and I’m not just a photographer, but also a mom to the sweetest little girl, Charly Rose. Becoming a mother has deepened my love for photography even more because I see firsthand how quickly these moments pass. Now more than ever, I understand the importance of freezing time for just a second, so you can hold onto those memories forever.

My photography is all about capturing life—whether it’s the joyful chaos of a family session, the excitement of maternity shoots, or those tiny, everyday moments that make life beautiful. My style is natural, fun, and full of life, just like the moments I photograph.


Let’s Create Something Beautiful Together


So that’s my story—a French girl who followed her dreams, fell in love, and now spends her days documenting love and life. If you’re ready to capture your own story, I’d love to be the one behind the lens. Whether it’s a family gathering, a maternity shoot, or just those beautiful everyday moments, I’m here to make sure those memories last forever.

Let’s make some magic together!


À bientôt,
