PICTOURS PARIS PRESENTS: UNFILTERED {capturing life's moments as they unfold}

In the past year, our daily lives and routines have been forever changed. They've become a bit unraveled. A bit raw. No longer can we freely travel the world, spend fancy date nights out with loved ones, and family time (and work) at home has become the norm. Life has simplified in its complexity as you will.

Pictours Paris was created nearly a decade ago, when I moved to Paris and began photographing lovers and their milestone Paris moments. In the last twelve months, international travel has halted, as has my once-thriving tourism-based photography business. It hasn't felt right to continue to post on social media the life of what was....perfect Paris proposals, elopements in front of the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, romantic champagne picnics in the park, etc.). However slow my business has become, my home life has been enriched: more family time with my husband and our 4-year-old daughter. Elodie. I realize this must be the same for so many people around the world. We have lost so much of the old familiarity of daily family life, but we have gained more time with our spouses and children.

Today, Pictours Paris is excited to announce its new division of photography: LIFE, UNFILTERED.

In this new photography approach, we come into your home and capture your day-to-day life as it unfolds. No matter how exciting, dramatic, or monotonous: We capture the simple. The beautiful. The silly. The calm. The chaos and the calm.  The clean and the clutter, and everything in-between.

Over the years, I've become well known for capturing and delivering priceless Paris portraits for couples and families (tourists) worldwide. Within this new division-- UNFILTERED -- I will essentially become more present with my local community and their daily lives.

Bespoke packages available: 1/2 day, full day, multiple days, weeks and months...contact me (bonjour@pictoursparis.com or fill out the simple Contact Form) to schedule a short Zoom consultation!!

Winter in Paris… a perfect excuse to get bundled u Winter in Paris… a perfect excuse to get bundled up, dress a bit fancy, and enjoy the city with your loved ones! I loved meeting T&M for his celebratory birthday photo shoot. ☺️ #pictoursparis #parisphotoshoot #parisjetaime #parisphotographer
I hope everyone has the opportunity to sit in stil I hope everyone has the opportunity to sit in stillness with Claude Monet’s Water Lilies at least once in their lifetime… 

Gifted to France the day after the Armistice was signed ending the war in 1918, the Water Lilies were meant to live as more than art. They were a symbol of hope. 

Even as Monet questioned the act of making art during war, he persisted and left these paintings behind to help a wounded world endure. 🤍 

Sending love and hugs up into the universe. 💫

My intention this year is to share more client photos and work. The last couple of years I’ve been in survival mode, but I am feeling more anchored and centered in this New Year. 🥰✨ #pictoursparis #parisphotographer #parislove #parisphotoshoot #lovelove

Being behind the camera and sharing a walk through the gardens with these two last month reminded me why I love what I do — celebrating love, connection, and all the quiet magic this city holds. 🥰🤍✨

G&M, happy 10 year anniversary. So glad you chose to celebrate your love in Paris. Until next time! 🥰

Also! I’ll be in pairs through Christmas, so let’s make some magic! 🪄

Awww!🥰 I just loved the girls’ adorable outfits fo 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
