SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES ✨ I’ve always tried to use my platform to support small businesses, not only because they’re what gives a city character, but because I’d rather support someone’s dream than give more money to big corporations. So many are struggling right now, but some in Paris are still delivering and need us now more than ever. Here are a few local small businesses who will deliver right to your door:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
FLOWERS: @bergamotte & @monsieurmarguerite
FOOD: @circusbakeryparis (bread), @lamaisonplisson (artisan products), @jeanhwangcarrant (cookies!), @mon.epicerie.paris (vegan), @boulangeriechambellandparis (gluten-free), @dodocookieco (vegan cookies & dough), @thehoodparis, @poilane (bread)
WINE: @divvino.paris (artisan wines)
COFFEE: @cafesbelleville, @kbcoffeeroastersparis, @dose.paris, @terresdecafeparis, @coutumecafe ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you know of others, don’t hesitate to leave a comment and I’ll add them to the list! You can also check @wearestillopen for more. Save and share this post for future reference ✨

Last year, I remember not wanting to get up early to shoot the cherry blossoms. I remember telling myself “it’s okay, you’ll get that spot next year.” Then the fire at Notre Dame happened and took away the best cherry blossom spot in the city, and now this. I’ll be watching my favorite season happen from behind my windows and wishing that I had just gotten my butt out of bed last year. I’m thankful that I managed to get even this photo this year. The point is: don’t wait. Don’t hold off on doing things, because you don’t know if you’ll get another chance. Don’t assume there’s always a “tomorrow” or a “next year”. Especially now- so many of us have been given the gift of time, to do the things we always said we’d “get around to”. Don’t wait. Do it. 🌸

One day again soon I’m sure I’ll complain about having too many people in my photos... but when that day comes, I hope I’ll remember this time and feel lucky that I can even go out and take photos at all, and how wonderful it is to see people out and enjoying the city I call home. 💕

It feels weird to be inside on a weekend, even more so on the first weekend of spring. But this change in situation is forcing me out of my comfort zone and to rethink my little home as a creative space and myself as a photographer. This is the first of my #glitteringquarantine series and I hope you enjoy! Now I’ll be getting back to drinking the rosé I brought back from Provence last summer and patiently waiting for the sun to return✨

When we come out of this, I’m booking a ticket straight to the sea. I haven’t dipped a toe in salt water in over two years, and yet being by the ocean always brings me an overwhelming feeling of peace. So on that day, I’m booking a ticket, and as soon as my feet hit that sand I’m taking off at a run and not stopping until I reach the water, even if it’s absolutely frigid, to feel the waves sweeping over my head and the exhilaration of finally reaching the end of this long tunnel ✨ I sincerely hope all of you and your loved ones get the chance to do that as well. What’s the first thing you’re planning to do when the world throws its doors open once again?

What do you mean this isn’t a good spot for a nap? 😴 finally got to see the gorgeous hot air balloon staircase of the @saintjamesparis with my lovely friend @leahshoup last week. As much as I’m not one to take pictures in big fluffy dresses, this staircase kind of made me wish I had a ballgown to pull out of my closet for a really epic shot 💃🏻
