Pronounced like Rachel-She/Her Photographer based in Paris, France Portraits & Elopements “It’s true, you never forget your first love, and for me, that will always be Paris.” - Caitriona Balfe ❤️ I help the modern Francophile celebrate their love of France. I’ll be your cheerleader, host and tour guide, answering all your questions along the way! ✨American in Paris since 2009.✨ ✈️ How did I get here? Through pure grit and determination. I put it out in the world, worked for it and pursued it without abandon. "If you do the work, you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life." - Michael Jordan 📚Has it always been easy? No! But 100% worth it!! The first 6 months was paradise, the next year was horrible - but learning French in advance would have solved 85% of those issues. Learning more about the French history and culture has also helped so much! 🐈 Will I ever go back to America? I hope not!! I’ve met my husband in 2012, bought a home in the eastern suburbs in 2017, and am a cat momma to three French cats. Share with me one of favorite things about France. Or tell me why you hate it! 😆 I’ve heard both sides, I’ve got you!! I love chatting about: 📸 being a photographer & entrepreneurship 🌍 being an immigrant/expat 🎞 film (cameras, film stocks, developing & scanning) 🇫🇷 everything France 🪴recipes and gardening 🏝 traveling
