Positive and Dynamic Photographer Captures Beauty in People
I'm a wedding and family photographer based in the South of France, where Provence, Ardèche, and Drôme meet. I’ve always been drawn to the way photography captures the subtle, fleeting moments that words often miss—and over time, that fascination grew into a full-time profession.
I started photographing weddings in 2019. While I work alongside my partner Joris, a wedding filmmaker, my photographic voice is very much my own—quiet, intuitive, and focused on honest emotion.
My journey into photography wasn’t a sudden leap, but a gradual evolution. Years of observing light, people, and movement shaped my eye long before I called myself a professional. I never studied photography in a formal setting, but I learned through experience, persistence, and an ever-growing passion for storytelling.
Today, I take on a limited number of weddings each year to give every couple the attention and presence they deserve. I especially love working outdoors, in natural light, surrounded by the landscapes I know so well—but I’m always happy to travel for the right story.
Outside of photography, I’m inspired by nature, literature, and simple, quiet moments. These influences show up in my work, I think—in the way I look for calm amidst the chaos, or intimacy in the smallest gestures. I also care deeply about sustainability and do my best to run my business in a way that respects the planet.
After five years in this profession, I’m still endlessly moved by the privilege of documenting real life—love, family, joy, and everything in between.

From the moment we met you during our engagement session, we felt completely at ease in front of the camera. That time together really helped us relax and prepare for the big day—and it showed. Everything on the wedding day felt natural and smooth, thanks to your thoughtful preparation and calm presence. The photos you delivered are absolutely stunning. They beautifully reflect the emotions, atmosphere, and rhythm of the day. You managed to capture both the big moments and the quiet, meaningful in-betweens with so much sensitivity. We’re so grateful for your work and hope to have another occasion to work with you again in the future.

Lauren & Claudio
We met you while searching for vendors for our wedding in September 2024, and within minutes of talking to you, we knew it had to be you. Your passion for photography and your genuine warmth immediately resonated with us. From the engagement session to the wedding day itself and the day-after photos in the Drôme, you made us feel at ease every step of the way. You took the time to get to know us, to understand what we were hoping for, and you were always full of thoughtful suggestions while staying open to our ideas. Our engagement session was cold and windy, but your calm presence, creativity, and sensitivity helped turn that moment into a beautiful memory—and the light was just perfect. On the wedding day, you captured all the emotion, energy, and little in-between moments that meant so much to us. You managed to reflect the essence of who we are and what that day felt like. We're so happy we trusted you to document our wedding. If someone is looking for a kind, attentive, and talented photographer who truly loves what she does, they should look no further.
