Paris Photoshoot FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about planning a photoshoot in Paris, from choosing your session and location to posing, outfits, delivery and booking.
Choosing your session
Is the photoshoot suitable for solo travellers?
Yes. Solo sessions are designed around you, with guidance on posing and movement.
Is the photoshoot suitable for couples?
Yes. Couple sessions capture your time together in Paris, with gentle guidance throughout.
Are family photoshoots suitable for children?
Yes. Tell me the children’s ages in your inquiry so we can plan a suitable family session.
Which package should I choose?
Choose Solo, Couple or Family first, then select a 30, 60 or 90-minute session. The longer sessions give you more time, more variety and a larger final gallery. For most clients, 60 minutes is a flexible starting point.
Locations & walking
Which location should I choose?
The Eiffel Tower and Central Paris are the most popular starting points. Montmartre and other areas are also possible depending on your session, timing and the photographs you want.
How much walking is involved?
The route depends on your package and chosen area. Tell me about mobility needs or a stroller when you inquire so we can discuss the route before booking.
Can we photograph at more than one location?
Paris Story includes several nearby locations, while Paris Editorial allows more time for location variety. We plan the route around your session length and chosen area.
Can we choose another part of Paris?
Yes, share the area you have in mind in your inquiry and we’ll discuss how it fits your session.
Do we go inside monuments or museums?
Sessions are primarily outdoors. Interior photography may involve tickets, access rules, photography restrictions or permissions, so please discuss it with me in advance.
Before your session
Do I need to know how to pose?
No. Most clients are not professional models. I guide you with posing, movement and where to look throughout the session, so no previous experience is needed.
What should I wear?
Choose something you feel comfortable in and can move in easily. I can help you think through outfits that suit your session.
Can I send you photo references?
Yes. Share the mood or photographs you like when we discuss your session.
Can I change outfits?
Paris Editorial includes up to two looks. Mention your outfit plans when we discuss the session.
What is the best time of day?
I’ll help you choose a time that suits your location, the light and your travel plans.
During the session
Will you guide me during the session?
Yes. You work directly with me, and I guide you with posing, movement and small adjustments as we photograph.
Which languages can we use?
English and Russian. French is available on request.
After the session
When will my gallery be ready?
Your full gallery is delivered within 7 working days. Paris Story and Paris Editorial also include 5 preview photographs within 48 hours.
How will I receive the photographs?
Your photographs are delivered through a private online gallery.
Booking & payment
Is submitting an inquiry a confirmed booking?
No. This is an inquiry. I will confirm availability and the details with you before booking.
