A little rainbow to brighten even the snowiest of days 🌈

I often look at other photographers’ work and admire their ability to capture moments, to be in the right place at the right time. It’s something I want to improve upon in my own images, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw this couple walking towards the majestic red door on the rue Vieille du Temple and calculated that I had enough time to whip out my camera, open my umbrella to protect the lens from the fast-falling snowflakes, and shoot. The snow is real, the moment is real, and it’s at times like these that I remember just why I love photography, and even why I love Instagram- the remarkable privilege to be able to share these fleeting moments with all of you.

Comme un gamin à chaque fois que je vois de la neige ❄️

Like a kid every time I see snow ❄️ Who else gets still gets so excited when it snows? Where I grew up in North Carolina, we didn’t get snow very often, so it was always a cause for celebration- canceled or delayed school, a mad dash to the front closet to see if the snow boots from last year still fit, hours of sledding down the hill in front of my parents’ house, coming back inside for hot chocolate in the glass snowman mugs that somehow ended up reserved for such occasions because we never used them otherwise. These days, the excitement is more about the beautiful images I hope to capture, but it’s still nice to have something that reminds me of that childlike innocence we once had, when a snowfall was the most thrilling thing in the world.

Nothing quite like a Parisian sunset ✨ With this

Nothing quite like a Parisian sunset ✨ With this new 6pm curfew, I’m thankful that for now sunset is still rather early- though I must admit, I’m hoping for snowfall tomorrow as predicted! Do you guys have any plans for this weekend?

I don’t know about you guys, but the first two w

I don’t know about you guys, but the first two weeks of 2021 have felt like a WHOLE YEAR 😅 Normally with these levels of stress, I end up turning to sleep aids in order to get a halfway decent night’s sleep, but the whole first week of 2021 I didn’t touch my CBD or melatonin and actually woke up feeling rested the next morning. The one thing I changed? Adding an @eyejust blue light blocking screen protector to my MacBook Pro. Insane how much blue light can affect our sleep patterns without us knowing it!

I’ve had their screen protectors on my phone for the last 2 years (even replaced it after my phone was stolen out of my hands in June 2019, for those who remember that) to help with eye strain from spending so much time staring at the screen. You can see in my stories how busted it got protecting my phone (as I drop it on the regular) so you know it works for that purpose as well!

If better sleep is your goal as well in 2021, I thought you all might like to try their products for yourselves, so I’ve partnered with them to set up a little giveaway! We’re giving away 1 iPhone screen protector and 1 iPad/computer screen protector to 2 lucky winners. Here’s how to enter:
1. Follow me and @eyejust
2. Leave a comment, tag a friend and let us know which product you’d rather receive!
3. Bonus entry if you share in stories (tag us to be sure we see it!)
I’ll choose the winner on Sunday 17 January! Open internationally. Best of luck!!

EDIT: Giveaway closed, the winners have been contacted by DM ✨

Besoin de caffeine ce matin ☕️ et vous ? Le retour de la grisaille après ce week-end ensoleillé est un peu déprimant, mais au moins c’est plus facile de rester chez moi pour travailler - pas du tout envie de sortir !

In need of caffeine this morning ☕️ how about you guys? The grey skies returned after a sunny weekend, and while it’s a bit depressing, at least I don’t have major FOMO since I have zero desire to go outside!

About Me

Hi, I'm Emily! Storyteller and endlessly curious, I love to travel but I also love getting to know the heart of a city. Since 2014, I've called Paris home and have learned the ins and outs of the city, as well as exploring around Europe. Here I share my favorite discoveries, expat and visitor advice, and photo diaries from my travels.
