🎒 What should I prepare the day before the shoot?


  • Outfits, shoes, accessories
  • Use a secure backpack or suitcase for all items

  • 💃 What outfit style works best in Paris?


    Romantic, chic, or bold — bright colors look amazing against Parisian tones. Coordinate your outfits for the best visual harmony.

    Sleep well, hydrate, prepare your things the night before, and let us know in advance if anything changes.

    ⏰ How to make sure I arrive on time?


    Plan your transport the day before (Uber, taxi, metro). Arrive 10–15 min early. More than 15 min late? The time is deducted from your session.

    • Free to enjoy Paris after

    🛡️ What about safety during the shoot?
