I'm fascinated by love. Human connection is what I value the most in this world. I'm not your classic photographer that makes you pose and have pretty photos. Many people can do that. No, what I want to offer you is a full experience.
I create a safe space for all couples to express themselves fully. I want to capture these little things that moves you both. The kiss on the hand, the pulling the hair back behind her ear, the belly busting laughs, the deep gaze that show how deep and meaningful your bond is. I tailor this experience fully to YOU and what brings you together, today and always.

A Unique Approach to Capturing Love
I'm not the photographer that will make you pose awkwardly and shoot very static photos. I'm all about directing you rather than posing you. I'll guide you with natural prompts so you can just be yourselves!! My goal is to catch authentic, natural moments when you forget I'm even here!
In my philosophy, it's the human first and the camera is my tool. Through this experience, I take the time to create a safe space and connect with each person. I don't see you as a client, I truly see you as friends. I believe that creates a deep trust between us that allows me to do my best work!
What I love about photography is to immortalize the beautiful, raw, pure emotions in us. It's to document honest connection and your true essence. Nothing and nobody is perfect, so that's not what I'm looking for. I will capture the real and the intimate with a sincere eye.
My style is never set in stone. I adapt my way of shooting, directing and even editing to each story and person. I aim to recreate the feeling of the moment because those are timeless. I value your memories deeply!
Love is love. I create a safe space for any person that resonates with my work. LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples will be welcomed with open arms, I'm always honored and grateful to portray all humans.
As I value connection over everything, I created a full experience. You'll never have to second guess anything, you'll just have to trust me and show up. That also means, you can tailor your experience however you want it and there is no rules!! I would even say, I'm always up for a challenge!
As I offer full experiences, there is a lot that goes behind the scenes. I want to be fully present and give my 100% for each person so I limit the number of sessions and weddings I take in a year. It's always good to contact me as soon as you think you might want to work with me.
Here are my core values and my approach to photography.
Take a minute to go through them to make sure we're the right fit!

Emilie is not only an incredible photographer, but she is also an amazing hype woman and an overall sweet and creative human being. My partner and I wanted to do a couple's photo shoot because we needed nice pictures together. I've never done a photo shoot before, so having her as a guide through it all was extremely helpful. She put so much thought and care into the planning. I felt a little nervous days leading up to the shoot because I had never done one before. But on photo shoot day, I felt instantly at ease with Emilie. She was so fun to work with! I sometimes forgot we were doing a photo shoot because we were laughing and having so much fun. The photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined! Thank you, Emilie

Absolutely amazing experience. To be honest, I thought these kind of pictures "only worked with others". But no, Emilie does make the magic work on everyone.
I'm not only amazed by the quality of the stunning results, but also by the easy Emilie managed to put us at. We're absolutely not models and never really like to be photographed, but we had a nice time, and these pictures are unforgettable memories. We highly recommend this magical experience.

LOVE NOTES
Emilie made the photo capturing process stress-free, easing our nerves and making sure we were comfortable. It felt like we were just hanging out! The photos she sent us beyond exceeded our expectations. They matched our vision board so well! The composition of the photos and the way she edited them was beautiful. We would highly recommend Emilie for your couples shoot, proposal photos, wedding photos, or whatever the occasion is! 100/100 would book again!

LOVE NOTES
Anyone can snap a picture but Emilie really takes her time to capture the moment in time that shows so much emotion. I had my photos done with my fiancé who is a shy reserved person so naturally she was nervous about taking pictures. but Emilie made her feel so comfortable and confident, she gave great direction and praise. the pictures came out so beautiful and will last a life time and I can't wait to show our future kids. so much love in every picture.
if you want to someone who snap pictures do it yourself but if you want someone who can capture the emotion in every moment and pays attention to all the details, then book with Emilie !!! xoxoxo

Emilie shot beautiful maternity photos for my husband and me. She made us both feel so comfortable and at ease right from the start, and made the whole process so light and happy! It’s quite a skill to make a 38 week pregnant mama feel beautiful but she did just that. The photos turned out amazing and we are so grateful that Emilie captured this special time in our lives! I cannot recommend her enough.

I have been a full-time professional photographer for more than 4 years now. I first focused on portraits while being nomadic and I recently put my suitcases down in California with my husband! Now I shoot portraits, couples and intimate weddings!
I'm originally from France but I'm now based in Mission Viejo in Southern California. I also return to France and Europe frequently, I'm always up for an adventure as travel as always been one of my biggest inspiration! My base prices include all trips in California (or where I am) and I do often have couples or people that traveled to me for their photoshoot! Check all my future destinations here.
When you book, you'll pay a 30% retainer upfront to block your date. The remaining 70% will have to be paid the week prior to the photoshoot. You'll receive your photos once this second payment is done. The retainer is non-refundable.
The good thing about having years of experience is that I'm very well equipped to adapt to any weather situation! I often find it's by going with what nature offers that create the most beautiful and spontaneous situations! However, if the weather is bad to the point that it would damage my gear, we can obviously find another date and postpone!
You'll receive your photos 3-4 weeks after our photoshoot in a beautiful online gallery! I offer a rush fee for those that need urgently their whole gallery.
I don't limit the number of photos anymore. For the purpose of telling your story fully and expressing my creativity, you'll receive all the good images that we created. I do guarantee a minimum of photos depending on the collection you choose but the most important to me is that you have all the details, angles and perspectives of our moment together. I don't behold any memory from you!
I don't, the photos are not truly done until I apply my creative vision fully which includes my editing. My philosophy with editing is to only remove things that are temporary like a bruise or a pimple! I don't alter bodies or change things that are parts of you. If you're really self-conscious about a specific area of your body, we can obviously talk about it and I'll take it into account on the way I pose you!
Absolutely! My approach is a full experience and for me it's very important that you feel supported all along the way. You'll receive a full preparation guide and I'll give you personalized recommendations on locations, outfits and accessories! I got you all the way!!
My travel fees are already included in my price guide depending on where you are. This way there is no unexpected, extra costs!
I offer video as an add-on and it can be digital or Super 8 film depending on what you prefer. It's often going to be my husband Eddie that will shoot it or his brother Renato who is a very talented videographer.
What if we are really awkward in front of the camera and don't know how to pose? We're not photogenic!
Being photogenic is a myth!! Everybody can look good in pictures with the right photographer. I’m used to people that have never been photographed professionnally before and I love to see you transform while I guide you every step of the way! It's all about creating that safe space between us. So don’t worry, you’re both gonna look AMAZING!
