Frequently Asked Questions
A 24-48 hours before your photo session we’ll confirm meeting spot as well as check in to see if you have any last minute questions. If the weather forecast is really terrible we will try to switch to a different time either the same day, the following day or the day before, whichever day has the best weather. If that’s not possible schedule wise we will break out the nice umbrellas and head around Paris, making some stops at different covered areas like cafés, covered markets and other areas. If you’re living in Paris we will schedule to the next best available day for you. In general we try to stay as flexible as possible for our clients so we can always find a good time!
