Maegan D., Maetiques

Founder of Maetiques, a French-sourced antique company out of Louisiana, we asked Maegan a few questions before her Paris photo shoot:

When you look back in 20 years, what parts of yourself do you want to see reflected back at you?

“I want to see my true personality shine through these shoots. I want to remember what it was like to be in my twenties running a successful business while juggling being a full-time corporate girlie, a wife, a friend, and everything in between. I want these images to show that every challenge thrown our way was conquered!”

What are three words you would use to describe yourself?:

“FUN, loud, tenacious“

    I truly can’t recommend Katie and her team enough! They go above and beyond to prepare you for your photoshoot. Everything they share in advance of your shoot is beautifully curated and so helpful in guiding you towards all the little details that make a shoot exciting and special and personal. They really care about getting to know who you are so that the final result really represents you! We’re usually feel very awkward in front of a camera but Katie made us feel comfortable and we had so much fun. Heading to the studio to see our photos a mere hour after the shoot blew us away. The whole process from start to finish was a dream and the photos are priceless- we adore them! Thank you, thank you, thank you Katie and team for such a timeless memory of our trip to Paris!

    We chose Katie Donnelly for a family shoot on our 10-year anniversary trip to Paris with our 7-year-old daughter in tow. From before booking until viewing and selecting our lovely photos, Katie Donnelly’s team was exceptionally warm and helpful. They answered so many questions and provided a lot of helpful information for planing location and outfits. They are pros at communicating to make everything go smoothly. Our photographer Magda is a jewel. She made our shoot so fun and personal—despite it being 27 degrees F! Her creative eye and talent provided more than we could have hoped for. We will treasure these photos the rest of our lives!

    We had an incredible experience with our photoshoot in Paris with Zoe, our photographer from Katie Donnelly Photography! The entire process was seamless, from the information we received in advance from Mallory, the Studio Manager to help us select the perfect location, tips on what to wear and where to meet our photographer on the day of the photoshoot. Upon arriving at our location, Zoe quickly put us at ease and with her expert guidance we almost forgot we were posing. It was so much fun! We feel very fortunate that Zoe suggested going to a café nearby when we mentioned we loved the café scene. Not only did she capture some of our favourite shots, but we had the opportunity to sit and chat with her as we enjoyed our coffees and croissants. The in-studio photo selection was surprisingly emotional—We could feel the story in every photo. Zoe’s attention to detail and ability to make the shoot both fun and meaningful made this an unforgettable experience. Thank you Zoe for capturing moments we’ll treasure forever! What an enchanting and memorable way to celebrate our 25th anniversary! We highly recommend the team at Katie Donnelly Photography to anyone looking to do a photo shoot in Paris! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    “Our experience with Katie Donnelly Photography (KDP) was absolutely wonderful from start to finish and 100% as advertised. From initial communication with Mallory, to the warm in-person welcome by Katie, to the beautiful photos by Magda the entire process was magical. They said we would have FUN and we did! We laughed, we danced, we ran (not bad at 72 & 74), and we kissed along the banks of the Seine. They truly captured the essence of our relationship, our love, and our honeymoon experience in Paris. In short, we are thrilled to be part of the KDP family and highly recommend them … you won’t be disappointed.”

    My husband and I took our first trip to Paris to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. Contacting and booking from the United States was very simple. Working with KDP truly was the best! They stay in communication with you from the start. Give great suggestions on where to shoot, and how to get there. Magda was wonderful! It was like meeting up with a close friend! She has great attention to detail and directs you in such a relaxing way. Meeting up later at their charming studio was wonderful! Being able to look through your photos the day of instead of having to wait a while to see how they turned out was amazing. We truly recommend them to take timeless photos in such a beautiful city. We are excited to visit Paris again. I feel like we will make KDP a family tradition of taking our pictures whenever we are in this picturesque city!
