About
Bonjour! I’m Sandy, a French photographer who has made the U.S. my home since November 2019. My journey here began as an au pair in Virginia, where I met my wonderful husband. Now, we share our lives with our beautiful daughter, Charly Rose, who fills our days with joy and laughter. Photography has always been close to my heart. Some of my fondest memories are of spending time in the darkroom with my mom, where I first fell in love with the magic of capturing moments on film. Today, my home is filled with photos, each one a cherished memory that tells the story of our journey. I specialize in lifestyle photography, and I’m known for making people feel comfortable in front of the lens. My goal is to capture you as naturally as possible, respecting your vision and creating images that truly reflect who you are. It’s important to me that you have the best experience possible, so I strive to make our time together enjoyable and relaxed. As a stay-at-home mom and business owner, I understand the importance of balancing life’s many roles. My photography business is an extension of my love for capturing memories, and I am dedicated to helping you preserve the special moments that you and your loved ones will treasure for years to come. I can’t wait to work with you to create beautiful images that you’ll hold dear forever.

Sandy is an incredibly talented photographer and artist. She captured editorial-style portraits of me that captured so much emotion. She truly understood my vision and made my dream of an ethereal photoshoot come to life! Sandy guided me effortlessly through poses and backdrops to achieve the best results, and her eye for detail is unmatched. She’s a true professional and an absolute joy to work with. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I can’t say enough good things about working with Sandy. She was able to fit us in for a last-minute photoshoot and was so flexible, responsive, and professional throughout the process. She immediately put my 3-year-old at ease and somehow managed to capture so many beautiful shots, even though my daughter doesn’t love sitting still. Her communication was consistent, her turnaround time for editing was impressively quick, and the photos themselves are absolutely stunning. I felt completely comfortable and cared for from start to finish and highly recommend!

My husband and I are so happy with our newborn/family photos. I had originally planned on doing maternity photos but due to some circumstances we weren’t able to get it done in time. However Sandy was so accommodating and book a newborn session with us and everything turned out great! The photos are amazing and we loved the candid shots. My toddler was a bit shy and constantly ran away but Sandy was patient and friendly and we were still able to get some great family photos with our whole family. Overall super happy we choose to work with Sandy, everyone loves the photos and we highly recommend her for any occasion. We look forward to connecting with her again for future adventures.

Phenomenal experience. I hired Sandy to do maternity and newborn shots, she also ended up photographing my home birth as well! She captured such beautiful moments that I'd have missed without her eye. If you want a kind, genuine, thoughtful photographer- she's your woman! As for birth photography... I hardly knew she was there, perfect for the moment & again truly priceless memories captured!
