In the last photography breakout I did over Christmas (Embracing the edge by Lauren Greyson), Lauren pointed out how important it is for a photographer to know what he or she wants to achieve with his or her photos, why we take pictures and with which purpose. Every time I look at the pictures of […]
I think mother and daughter sessions are the ones which move me most. I guess this is because of my personal situation (being a daughter as well as a mom) and because I feel every gesture, every sign of affection and every glance of complicity I capture with my camera. It seems that the relationship […]
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. I met Mirin (@mirinclos) at the Petit Atelier-Bistrot photography course and gastronomic experience organized by Inés (@lespetiteschosesdudimanche) […]
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 […]

Personally, I find it extremely enriching to look at other photographers’ pictures. I’m always surprised by the generosity of those who share all their […]
The first thing I should tell you is: “Don’t do it”. Don’t be a fool and hire a professional photographer. Newborn photography is such a challenging discipline: the first challenge is that the photos need to be taken during the first weeks after the baby is born, ideally between the fifth and the tenth day […]
Do you know the feeling when you have a dream, you turn it over and over again in your mind, but you procrastinate and never do anything to make it come true? You think it will never happen, you are afraid of failure, of what other people will think if you try and it doesn’t […]
