La Beauté

A photographer often finds a muse, and one person I always enjoy taking pictures with is Miriam. Since she is back in the country for a little while, we had the chance to work together again. First I had a fairly improvised shoot for fun with her and her boyfriend. And then we had a more planned and organized shoot. Here is the first part.

Some of the best times

Memories from amazing weekends and vacations I've been on so far this year.

Nothing is better than getting away for a roadtrip and arriving to relaxing places surrounded by this nature. So climbing to the top of mountains has become a favorite past time, especially when rewarded by views like the one above.

Having finally reached the top and immersed in the beautiful scenery.

THE PARIS DIARIES - Part III - Memories

A few pictures from the many places we visited, that bring back so many memories. I loved that we went discovering Paris in our own way and all these photos are from some of the areas that I enjoyed the most. Being half french and having lived here for a few years (although that seems long ago now) I've always been extremely fond of this country and the culture. So I'm always quite nostalgic when I come back here on vacation. Now when I'm looking at these pictures, it suddenly all feels so far away. Isn't it weird how quickly on adjusts back to the everyday life. Paris, tu me manques.

Admiration

After only a few hours in Paris, I realised that I could very easily adjust to an everyday life consisting of croissants and café au lait for breakfast. Then jump on the metro to go explore another part of this elegant city or walk along the banks of La Seine. It's very tempting to give in to the dreams of living an artist (or even bohemian) life here, taking everything day by day and just enjoying these beautiful surroundings. There's clearly enough sources of inspiration here to last for a long time. But then again I think I appreciate all the charming little aspects of Paris even more when I'm only supposed to stay for a few days. I felt I cherished and enjoyed each and every moment I spent here as much as possible, knowing that this dream-vacation would have to come to an end after a few days. And let's hope that in the near future there will be opportunities to return and create more memories and take more photographs in lovely Paris.

still to be continued..
