Private photoshoots with professional local photographers.
You choose your photographer — and see your gallery the same day.
Traveling to Paris can be a dream come true — and a private session with a professional local photographer turns it into something you keep. The Eiffel Tower at sunrise, Montmartre, the Louvre, or a quiet cobbled street: you choose the places, and your photographer knows exactly when each is at its best. Most of our clients call it the highlight of their trip to Paris.
Taking professional photos is not an everyday activity. With us, you see your proofing gallery the same evening — pick your favorites from your hotel — and your edited photos usually arrive within days of your selection. Pictures that capture the real you, ready to print, frame, and share. Be careful though: your friends might become a little jealous.
Every photo below is from a real client session in Paris — a proposal, a family, a quiet morning at Trocadéro.
This is what your time with us can look like.
Our family had the most incredible photoshoot in paris with the paris photographer
Absolutely Amazing Experience! We couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment we met Irene, she put us at ease with her warm and professional approach. She guided us effortlessly, making the session feel natural and enjoyable while capturing the most stunning shots. The photos turned out beyond our expectations—each one was breathtaking, and we had such a hard time choosing favorites because they were all so good! This experience gave us memories we will cherish forever.

You see your proofing gallery the same day as your shoot. Your edited high-resolution photos then arrive within days: 6 to 8 weeks at the latest. Print them, share them, or keep them just for you. They are yours to cherish for a lifetime.
Let’s dive into these 3 steps and give you a bit more information, so that you can confidently move forward and get the chic photos that you deserve.
Photographer & videographer. Choosing the right artist for your Paris photo shoot is essential for beautiful pictures. Each professional photographer in the team is based in Paris, speaks English and has been trained and certified by Fran Boloni – The Paris Photographer. Our packages are designed with an hourly rate in mind. In 1 hour we typically cover 1 main location. Within that hour, we move in several spots of that main location. Add as many hours as locations you wish to shoot in.
Before going to the second step, slow down a little bit. If you are feeling overwhelmed, it’s normal.
There are many possibilities for artists, locations, outfits, etc.
For this reason, we have created a short and simple quizz, to help you decide on the number of outfits and locations.
Take the quizz, it takes less than 1 minute.
The truth is, you feel much more comfortable when you work with a friendly photographer. Feeling comfortable leads to better pictures. We capture that energy in our photos. We’ll help choosing the locations, give you tips to pick attire and recommend you vendors to make your photos even more beautiful (balloons, flowers, etc).
Immediately after your photo shoot, we send you a proofing gallery with every image we captured. You select your favorites, and we edit them. Your edited high-resolution photos then arrive within days, 6 to 8 weeks at the latest, in an elegant online gallery. Download them, share them, and make prints and albums to keep forever.

Browse our photographers’ portfolios and reviews, and pick the one whose style feels like yours. You are never assigned a stranger: you choose the person who captures your Paris.
2
No marketplace, no middleman, no commission. You book directly with our Paris studio and speak with real people who plan your shoot with you — before, during, and after.
3
We understand that perfect planning leads to perfect photos. For that, we can recommend you what to wear, which locations look best, what props to use and any vendor that would add real value to your photo shoot. Such as beauty artists, florists, etc

Your time is valuable. That’s why we created an easy to use online booking system. This way, you can spend your time on preparing the photo shoot. Choosing fancy outfits and daydream about your pictures.
5
At booking, you’ll sign a contract that bounds us to show up on the day of the shoot or offer an alternative photographer. Either way, it’s one less thing to worry about in a city that you don’t yet know.

Whether you are not sure about your travel dates or the choice of photography studio for your pictures in Paris. We have a flexible refund policy that allows you to cancel and get a full refund up to 5 days before your photo session with us.
Ready to take a romantic walk in Paris, in front of our lens?
If you are wondering…
What happens after I book a Paris photo session?
Everyone wants pictures by the Eiffel Tower, however, Paris has much more to offer.
The clients who love their photos most do two things well: they choose their spots, and they choose their light. We help with both: see our guide to the best locations for photos in Paris and our guide to the best time to take pictures. Sunrise is far more flattering than midday, and Trocadéro is almost empty. And if this is your first time in front of a camera, relax: most of our clients have never done a professional shoot. Some want direction, some are naturals — we adapt to you.
A mini session is the quickest way to take home beautiful Paris photos. Thirty minutes at the Eiffel Tower gives you around ten edited images; one hour gives you twenty, with time to relax and move between spots. Ideal when your trip is full: a quick couple shoot, a surprise proposal, solo portraits and family with small kids.
Explore these real client mini couple photoshoots in Paris in the morning and in the afternoon.
Two hours gives you room to breathe. You cover two locations, change outfits between them, one elegant, one casual, and never feel rushed. The extra time means more variety in your gallery, and space for the candid, in-between moments that often become people’s favorites.
This is a real couple’s 2 hours engagement photoshoot in Paris.
A multi-hour session is a photo story, not just a shoot. You move across several neighborhoods, change outfits more than once, and build a theme that is yours : a romantic tour of the city that can carry from afternoon light into the glow of Paris at night. It is the fullest, most cinematic way to be photographed here.
Here is an example of a multi-hours real couples photoshoot in Paris.
We had the most incredible experience with Alex as our photographer in Paris!
He captured our engagement photos beautifully, and every single image feels like a work of art. Alex has an amazing eye for detail and knows how to make each moment look magical.
