I’m Hanna, a photographer based in Paris. Portrait, couple, family, event and brand photoshoots at the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Versailles and quiet Paris streets. I direct every shoot, so you don’t need any posing experience. I speak English, French, Ukrainian and Russian.
What will your Paris story be?
Your people.
A family photoshoot in Paris, for parents, kids and grandparents.
A shoot with children is a special kind of shoot. Kids feel about the camera differently than adults do, so we prepare for it differently too, and that preparation directly shapes the result.
Kids either won’t pose at all or overdo it the moment they see a camera. That’s why my goal is to catch the real moments: the ones where they forget the camera is there and simply play, talk with you, jump, run and live. I’ve photographed many families with children, and I’m a parent myself, so I know how to make that happen.
For parents who care how their kids feel.
This shoot is for parents who care about their children’s comfort and about the moment they’re living together. So everything is organised to keep your kids stress-free. I plan our route with playgrounds along the way, and there’s always time for what your child wants and needs: to play, to rest, to snack, to explore. When kids are interested, they join in on their own.
During the shoot I work mostly as an observer, like a documentary photographer. I catch the moments when your child is caught up in playing and talking with you. For you, I give simple directions, so you can focus on your kids, not on the camera.
For parents who want a moment outside of time.
Paris makes something special possible: family photos that feel timeless. When you look at them, you can’t tell if they were taken yesterday, three months ago or a century ago. That’s the effect I love creating, and it’s what makes these photos stay with you for a lifetime.
We talk about your family: who’s coming, how old the kids are, what they love, what you’d like to capture. The call is optional but recommended. If calls aren’t your thing, just let me know.
Kids have their own schedule, so we plan around it: naps, meals, the time of day when they’re at their best.
I help you choose outfits that feel timeless and work together as one story (see What to wear below).
I plan a route through beautiful places with playgrounds and breaks along the way: the Luxembourg Gardens, the Tuileries, a carousel, a quiet street with an Eiffel Tower view. Easy with a stroller, fun for kids, beautiful in the light.
We meet and follow your family’s rhythm. Play, walk, rest, and let the story happen: family portraits, time together, each child on their own, and the little details you’ll want to keep.
I select and retouch the strongest images. Within 48 hours you get a first sneak peek, and within 7 days you receive your full gallery.
A story of your family, not just one photo of everyone smiling. 50 to 70 retouched photos, depending on your package, of real moments: hugs, laughter, little hands, games and glances, portraits of each child, photos of you as parents together, and the family photo for your wall.
Delivered as high-resolution digital files via a private Dropbox link, ready to print, frame or share.
Your family, outside of time.
For up to two adults and two children.
For bigger families and three generations together, for example four adults and three children.
Why not longer? Kids get tired quickly and lose interest, and grandparents deserve a relaxed pace too. A shorter, well-planned shoot means happier faces and better photos.
Kids need breaks: a bathroom, a snack, a café, a playground. That’s part of the shoot, so there’s never an extra charge if we run a little over time.
Every package includes a planning call, wardrobe and route planning, first photos within 48 hours and your full gallery within 7 days.
Timeless photos start with timeless clothes. Choose one soft colour palette for the whole family, and pieces with texture: knits, linen, wool, cotton. No big prints, logos or labels. Think of something you can almost feel when you look at the photo.
At the same time, comfort comes first. Choose from clothes and shoes your child already knows and loves: nothing new, tight or scratchy, and no shoes that might rub. A child who feels comfortable looks happy.
