French portrait photographer - My beautiful friends | Personal project

I have started a personal project called "My Beautiful Friends"

I realized how we, as women - me included - are often filled with self-doubt, questioning ourselves on whether we are fit enough, smart enough, talented enough, good enough to have the life we dream to have... Self-talk and beliefs that hold us from achieving great things, pursue big dreams that we are actually all capable to achieve and even go beyond. We underestimate the unlimited power we have inside of us. For a long time I wondered how I could use my job as wedding and portrait photographer to serve the purpose of me being on earth which is actually to serve others. And the other day, it hit me, photography can be used to empower others.

I'm surrounded with women with such such AMAZING souls yet so full of doubts... I just wanted to show through this series of #mybeautifulfriends photos, that our inner beauty starts shining out when we start

loving

and

believing

in ourselves; accepting ourselves

the way we were created

. I wanted to show my friends how beautiful they were inside out. Because when we know how to love ourselves, we know how to love others. Then everything will fall into place as love is the most powerful magnet in the Universe. Through love, everything is possible.

“Whoever loves much, performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.”

– Vincent Van Gogh

This is my beautiful friend Marie, bathed in this amazing light of Provence.

Marie taught me about letting go and resilience. I'm so grateful to have her in my life, even though she lives in Provence and I in Paris, I know our frienship doesn't care about distance.

Marie has been looking for her inner call for a long time, but I think she has found it now. check out the video below and let me know if you agree with me ! :)

Elle cherchait sa voie, elle a trouvé sa voix

Boudoir Session - Lace, Red hair and freckles

This boudoir session is one of my favorite. I LOVE red hair, and freckles. To me, it's one of the most beautiful combination EVER...

Last October, I had the chance to shoot this gorgeous Boudoir session at Caroline Tran's propel workshop. Loved every single detail of it, the lingerie was stunning, with delicate and romantic lace, combined with gorgeous flower arrangement and Whitney our beautiful model. Those who know me know that I'm in love with Ginger hair and freckles ! :)
