Spring Equinox Dinner with Goodis Popup
To celebrate Spring Equinox, I was asked to join the team organising an incredible dinner experience in one of the oldest family perfumeries in France, Molinard. The Goodis Popup included perfume creation, cocktails and a five course meal curtesy of Marco Mattana of Micheline Guide’s Epiro Nice.
I am so excited to share the photos I took of the whole evening event.
Branding session with Jacinta Bayard, an Australian writer sharing about her life in France
I met Jacinta at one of the Riviera Entrepreneurs events earlier this year, and we immediately made plans for a session to prepare for her new blog where she would start sharing her story of moving her family from Sydney, Australia to the South of France and living in an 18th century bastide where a renowned French writer Henry Troyat.
Jacinta told me more about her and what her vision for the session was. Her story really spoke to me as I made life changing moves across continents three times myself. And we are currently working together for the foreseeable future as a part of my Subscription Service.
Family Business in Provence
Last year I was fortunate to photograph the wedding of Fabien and Estelle, and our bond has grown since as we started to work together to create some visual storytelling for their brand Eucaly. This business is three generations old and is located on the hills overlooking the iconic bay of Cannes on the French Riviera.
Epic proposal in the South of France, The Maybourne Riviera
When Tomi reached out to me to help capture his proposal and shared his intricate plan with me, I simply had to make it work. Tomi was flying his bride-to-be from London to ask her to marry him at sunset in the most beautiful location on the French Riviera, on the terrace of the Maybourne Riviera hotel in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin with the 180 degree views from Italy to Monaco.
Creative collaboration with 06 MEDIA
What a joy it is to work with other creatives who are on the same wavelength as you. The 06 MEDIA team and I got to work on an interview style commercial with a celebrated communications coach based in Monaco, Alicia Sedgwick back in December and I’m happy to share our photo selection for the videographer team and Alicia here.
Christmas Party on the French Riviera
This pre-Christmas season I was hired to photograph a Christmas party for local entrepreneurs on Côte d’Azur. We, non-corporate self-employed people deserve an office party too! I’ve been a part of Riviera Entrepreneurs for almost two years now and have nothing but admiration for this group of people, so it was a true honour to document this festive celebration for and with them.

Photo walk through Nice
Back in October I was hired to make a trip to Nice memorable for a birthday lady from Lithuania. I live not too far from Nice and have seen so many Instagrammable spots in the Old Town and around. This would allow us to stay in the same area and have a lot of variety in our portraits.
We covered the beach, Promenade des Anglais, the Old town and Colline du Chateau in just an hour and a half. Here are the results!
Pink umbrellas of Grasse
Tucked away from the main visitor spots of the French Riviera but still an important place on Côte d’Azur, Grasse offers that old authentic feel of the South of France burnt by the sun.
There you can also find something special about the old town centre. Its perfume shops and antique stores spend their days in the shade of hundreds of pink umbrellas. I thought it would be one of those places you need to see once and be done but I find myself going back to the old Grasse at least once a year and always find something different to capture.
Les Nocturnes d’Art de Biot 2023
I was commissioned to cover an annual summer event in Biot this year called Les Nocturnes d’Art. I’ve been going to them ever since we moved to the South, and it is an honour to document this year’s edition.
Les Nocturnes will take place every Thursday until August 17th so come along and enjoy the open air art show.
Yoga Studio Photoshoot in Biot
Capturing the Essence of Yoga: A Radiant Photoshoot in Biot's Serene Yoga Studio.
I recently had the incredible opportunity to immerse myself in the peaceful ambiance of Biot's new yoga studio and capture the beauty and grace of yoga through the lens of my camera. With the magical interplay of light and movement, I embarked on a captivating journey of capturing the work of Héloïsa, Biot’s yoga instructor.
Best Spots for a Photoshoot in Antibes
I’ve lived in the Antibes area in the past two years and as much as I enjoy the whole of the French Riviera, Antibes is my go-to when going on photo adventures.
Here are my favourite spots for photoshoots in Antibes.
French Riviera Sunset beach Portraits
As a photographer on the French Riviera I have access to world’s most beautiful beaches at my fingertips.
But sometimes (most of the times) it’s not the beach that I am capturing, it’s the subject: a family, a couple, a business. For this shoot I had an idea of getting to capture the eyes, the hair and the golden hour light.
Photographer in Provence
I knew that May was too early to go looking for lavender fields in Provence. Regardless, I planned a girl trip just to breath the provençal air one weekend in May when the stars aligned for my friend and I to go away for a couple of days.
We were lucky to catch the poppy season still in full force. Fields and fields of poppies is truly a sight to behold.
The conclusion after the weekend in one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been is I’ll have to go back there in every season.
Yoga by the pool
Outdoor photography is my favourite. Even in harsh light, I am excited to work with the conditions I get and work through the most difficult ones.
As a branding photographer, I need to adjust to my client’s timing and most businesses work 9-5 when the light isn’t the best. I am also a mother and have to work around my kids’ schedules. So sunrise/sunset sessions are not always possible.
French Riviera event photographer
Summer on the French Riviera is busy with events of every character. Here we have Cannes Film Festival and Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco, but there’s much more happening on a smaller scale but just as fun and important.
Local meetups and private events also need documenting. And if you organise an event on Côte d’Azur, don’t hesitate to reach out to me to get your event covered.
