Photography
I’m not one who plans to take a particular type of photo. Apart from the times I shoot families, I only take the camera with me when I feel like it and I usually don’t think ahead of what I want to photograph. This doesn’t mean I’m not influenced by photos or moments captured by […]
I love flowers. I think you already know. My mum always reminds me that I never watered her plants when I was a child. Now I know for sure that I inherited my love of flowers from her, although I only became aware of it quite late. She’s got the most amazing terrace full of flowers […]
Girlfriends. The ones who know you so well that it’s scary. The ones who saw you grow up, walked with you to school every day or came into your life later, in a university amphitheater. The ones you can talk to for hours and, when you come home, you need to call because you forgot […]
Every year, in September, as if it were Groundhog Day, I feel overcome by an uncontrollable desire to redecorate the whole house. I’m sure that happens to many of you, am I right? Most of the time, all this motivation turns into hot air. After a week, I’ve usually forgotten all about my projects which […]
When a friend I met on Instagram, who takes beautiful pictures and has photographer friends, asked me if I was willing to do a family session because she wanted me to do it, you can image the emotion.

Today I’m writing about what has probably been the most relaxing weekend of the summer.

Isla Bonita […]
I remember as if it were yesterday the first time a friend of mine told me about this amazing shop across the border, in Divonne, 5 minutes from home. She said they had the most amazing design products for kids, from furniture to toys. I think it took me a week to go and see […]
I have mixed feelings about addressing maternity matters on the blog. First, because I’m not an expert and don’t want to become one or give any maternity advice. And second, because this subject is very personal and I’m constantly debating with myself about how much to unveil in a forum as public as a blog. […]
Since we live in the countryside, I much more enjoy nature and the changing seasons. The funny thing is that nature’s always been present in my life: in my home village in Spain, in Geneva… But I didn’t see it before. At least, not as I see it now. Now I enjoy it with all […]
I believe it’s not a coincidence that I ended up teaching. According to my mum, as a child, I used to spend most of my time pretending I was a teacher. I used to place my dolls (or my brother, when he agreed) in front of my chalkboard and teach them I don’t know what. […]
