FAQ:

Can a friend or family member come along free of charge if they aren’t using a camera?

Sorry, no. Everyone on all of the tours and workshops pay full price. Think of it as a theatre show, train fare or plane ride. If you want to go, you have to pay.

What should I bring?

Your fully charged DSLR camera, plenty of space on your memory cards, spare battery. Also dress for 2 hours outside: we walk rain or shine, so please be prepared. If you have your DLSR camera manual, feel free to bring that too.

How to book?

Contact us today and let us know the dates you’ll be in Paris. We do ask for payment in full before your Photography Tour date. Thanks and see you soon in Paris!

Awww!🥰 I just loved the girls’ adorable outfi Awww!🥰 I just loved the girls’ adorable outfits for their recent family photo shoot at the Eiffel Tower. 🩷✨ 

And here’s a little side note about said monument. 😅

For a few years I started to avoid shooting at Trocadero (this location ⬆️) because of increased crowds and dozens upon dozens of other photo shoots going on there 24/7… it started to feel like a circus! 🎪 But today, each and every Eiffel Tower location is somewhat overflowing with influencers and other photographers - plus tourists. 

It’s the most iconic monument in the world (I think?), and with the social media and influencer explosion we’ve all bear witness to in recent years, it makes sense. Everyone wants to see these views and have their photos there. I get it! 

All this to say: we can still manage lovely photographs around the Eiffel Tower. We just have to be a bit patient. However, there’s a whole big and beautiful city with many locations to shoot at if you want to avoid the crowds. I’m here to guide you and help you decide! 🥰✨

I’m also curious to know from my clients and others who have shot around the Eiffel Tower lately: how did the crowds affect your experience or expectations? 🤔 

Thanks and happy weekend! 😘#pictoursparis #parisphotographer #parisfamilyphotographer #trocaderoyesorno

If anyone’s interested in a #PictoursLondon photo session (couples or families!), let me know and perhaps I can plan and promote a few London dates in 2025! ✨ Merci Lauren @openinvitetrips 😘 #pictoursparis #pictoursparisdoeslondon #pictourslondon #londonphotoshoot #openinvitetrips

Fall is falling quickly… 🌳🍂🍃🍂 I am Fall is falling quickly… 🌳🍂🍃🍂

I am happy to have the Tuileries Garden open again after the “Olympic Games 2024: accessibility in and around Paris monuments will be close to nonexistent” - hiatus!” 😆 

And how absolutely lovely is this family of 7?! 🤍🤍🤍

Behind the scenes from this morning’s fun family Behind the scenes from this morning’s fun family shoot in the Tuileries Garden. Thank you Meg: so lovely to meet your beautiful family. 💙💚🧡 

And a little post-Olympic update: the dismantling of Olympic sites is still ongoing and will be finished in October. The Tuileries is open along the side walkways (I.e. here), but the main center area of the gardens are largely closed still (removing the material from the cauldron which was here). 🌳🍂🍃

Pont Alexandre III is now re-open, so let’s go shoot there! 💛✨ #pictoursparis #parisfamilyphotographer #parisphotographer
