Snapshot of my life-

It all began at the age of 8 years old when I started to become passionate for photography. I lived in Tahiti and the beautiful natural landscapes captured my every moment, so I wouldn't go anywhere without my camera! Years later, I started modeling at the age of 17 years old doing magazine and billboard ads in France and because of this opportunity, I was able to observe the wonderful work  from a famous photographer from Glamour Magazine and learned a few tricks. I’m also an actress and received my acting degree from a highly recognized professional school (E.R.A.C), so I can definitely help you feel comfortable in front of a camera or guide you on what to do, so we can make successful and beautiful pictures.

Fun “flashy” facts about me-
I'm a singer, writer ( I wrote and directed a few plays), and I love to draw in my spare time.

When it comes to photography, one tool that I enjoy using is photoshop; it's helping me create my own visions and special effects-lets say we are capturing images outside, but the weather is not friendly that day, I can change that or if you’re standing next to a pool that isn’t looking so good, I can clean it up with photoshop.

 

To quote Tom Bourdon from his book, here are the definition I agree with and love to use the way he describes them:

“EDITING PHOTOS: Selecting the best images and removing the worst from a collection for a specific purpose.

 

POST PROCESSING PHOTOS: Reworking a previously shot image with adjustments to the crop, exposure, tones etc. to obtain a desired look.

 

IMAGE MANIPULATION: The use of more than one photo, image or graphic to create a new piece of work. Or the reworking of a photo to significantly alter it from the original scene.”

​

I truly enjoy any kind of photography. I like to be challenged, which is why I’m participating in many photography contests through Gurushots, you can visit my special pics made only for those challenges here:

Behind the scenes-
I’m a mother of a son who has Aspergers (Spectrum of Autism) and ADHD, so if you have a child with special needs, I will give you a discount and time isn’t a factor- I won't look at the time it takes to get the best picture you want.

My goal is to make every customer photography visions come true!

​I'm simply an artist.
