It was unbelievable 💕
We wanted to go to the Champs Elysées for the last day of the Olympic Games, but I just couldn’t walk. So we sat in this cute square, while the sky was turning pink, and we were just enveloped in this beautiful warm atmosphere… it was almost like a dream, that we didn’t want to end. We just thought to ourselves, what a time to be alive.
We love going to the Hotel du Bourg Tibourg with my boyfriend ❤️
It has this antique boudoir feeling, where you can really have a moment to yourself, without minding the busy streets of Paris. It’s also in one of our favorite neighborhoods, so there’s a couple restaurants around there we enjoy coming back to.
I think Paris is definitely at its most beautiful in the summer, but like, summer here is more August and September. We get the prettiest skies, pinkest sunsets, and the weather is mostly a delight.
But at least it’s on my left hand, and I’m not a leftie ! 😂
Life has been so hectic lately, but we finally have some good weather in Paris : welcome to Summer… we skipped Spring for you, apparently. I’m gonna try my best to tan on my balcony, and keep up with my beautiful plants, while staring into these breathtaking sunsets that we get, drinking from a nice glass of wine;
Speaking of wine, during the hot days I’m very much into having to drink between an iced tea, or latte during the daytime, which I make myself. When comes the evening though I want a good dry white wine, can be sparkling as well. I’m also loving Greek Raki, the Tsikoudia, which is made from grapes, or the Serbian Rakija, my favorite being made from apricots… it’s divine. Or even some Japanese Sake, which I usually prefer drinking warmed up.
But anyway, I’m gonna be spending this month editing lots of pictures for sale purposes : I’m saving up to buy a professional camera, and launch like a mini sustainable thing, so it can be more than just a hobby, G.od’s willing.
Hello beautiful bride 🤍🕊️
This series of portraits was taken before she said yes 🪽 I deliberately chose to do in it in black and white, because I didn’t want any color to be distracting from the raw emotions she was showing. Since she’s so discreet, the black and white just drives the focus more intensely. I think she came out beautifully, and it was such a perfect moment to be sharing with her, to help her get ready, and knowing she made her wedding dress herself was honestly spectacular.
Barbara, what have you done 💕
It is wild to be a millennial and hit your thirties, and then people like your best friend suddenly become an “adult” overnight basically, and get hitched ! Like I’m sorry, I kinda missed the memo on that one… I’m not aware we’re out of teenage-hood yet, but hard reality slap 😂😭 thanks for that !
No seriously, I am beyond proud and happy for her. This photoshoot was so special, because we escaped the wedding festivities, so she could take a breather, and walk in this beautiful countryside that’s surrounding the place. In the moment she was a fairy to me, wearing this mini dress that she made herself, and I just had this Lykke Li – I Follow Rivers song playing in the back of my mind, watching her basically flying off her feet from happiness, and I just started snapping a few shots to really immortalize this beautiful moment.
I think I caught her just like she always was, and forever will be, a true wild forest spirit 🩷
