let loose photographer portrait

So thankful

you are here!

The thing that I care most about, even more than the images I make, is the relationship that we have. You and I. We don’t know each other yet and I realise that it’s forward of me to think we could be friends. And yet, that is exactly what I hope for. Every single time.

Ask my partner, who sometimes even feels a tad jealous about my excitement before a client meeting! I feel giddy, because I am going to meet another soul, another beautiful human who has lived their inspiring life thus far and I have the opportunity to be a part of that experience, for a moment, or maybe more. Every time I meet a client, I have a deep seeded hope that we will become the best of friends.

Too much? Perhaps, and I’m ok with that not always being the case, but one thing I can promise is that during our time together, you will be a rare and exquisite gift to me. That is how I work. I do everything with that thought in mind, you aren’t a contract to me, you are you. And that makes all the difference, as Robert Frost might have said!

NATURE FIRST

Here are some of the practices I’ve put into place so far in my work. I am still learning, so don’t hesitate to give me any advice you may have on the topic!

FILES

Being mindful when I shoot, or trying at least, not to take 20 shots of the same thing, trusting when I have the good shot!

Delete digital files regularly to make space on hard drives, but also in my emails in order to decrease impact of data centers

No USB keys, simply an online gallery (allows friends and family to also view the images without keeping unnecessary files)

Loading files onto one platform, ONE TIME, to avoid constant downloads and transfers. I advise clients to download their images ONCE, and to copy to at least one other backup source to avoid losing them and having to download them again, also after 2 years, I may no longer keep your images.

OFFICE SPACE

Home office (not studio), not a double impact

I use a Green energy provider, ILEK, whose mission is to fund only French reusable energies

Electronic contracts and signatures to avoid printing

Keeping the heat down, I love layering up and I even have half finger purple gloves, which are the cutest!

GEAR

Using minimal gear, we don’t need a different lens for everything - helps with creativity

Borrowing from photographer friends or renting gear that I rarely need

Buying used whenever possible

Trusting that I do not constantly need to upgrade my gear

ALBUMS / PRINTS / PACKAGING

I use a France based album and prints manufacturer, handmade by a small team near Grenoble

I reuse the packaging I receive, like shipping boxes and bubble wrap. It's not the prettiest, but at least no extra trees or water were necessary for it!

TRAVEL

Only use the car when no public transportation is available

I carshare with other wedding vendors if possible and I offer to take guests with me when there are venue changes to avoid more cars being used on the wedding day

I offer ridealongs with clients for engagement/family shoots

I work as locally as possible, I rarely accept any contracts outside of my region or that requires plane travel
