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.
Couple Photoshoot in Nice
A job of a photographer is an interesting one. Unless you work in a studio, you usually work on a location with people you’ve never met. But this is the exciting part for extraverts like me. You meet new people, learn their stories, document their memories.
Recently, I got to work with a wonderful couple, Maxime and Dayana to capture their love. Maxime is from the south of France and Dayana is from the Philippines, they met in Kuwait where Dayana lives right now, and they are currently working on moving her to France so they can start a family. Their story resonated with me, as my husband and I went through the same journey many years ago, so it was an honour to capture it for them.
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.
