Interview
IF I HAVE A FREE SUNDAY I WOULD SPEND IT… it would be a Sunday in two parts, I love a slow morning at home spending time with my daughter, cooking, swimming but there is not a day when I do not put on my sneakers to go running, go hiking with my dog or boat cruising with my family. I really feel good in nature, it's a real source of recovery for me.
MY MOST MEMORABLE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE WAS… this would be our "surf and backpack" road trip with our 1.5 year old baby, we did Java Island, Bali, part of Thailand, an amazing experience!
THE COUNTRY I MOST WANT TO VISIT IS… I'm obsessed with Mexico, I don't know why but this country is calling me!
WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY JOB IS… I love being able to observe happy people, there is something very intimate and intense at the same time, it's completely addictive. Also having the chance to travel and work in incredible locations.
IF I DIDN’T DO THIS FOR A JOB I WOULD BE/DO… a pro dancer, yoga teacher or diving instructor.
IF I COULD GIVE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLES ONE PIECE OF ADVICE IT WOULD BE… to trust your photographer, choose them for the type of wedding they cover and not just for the aesthetics of these images even if both criterias are very important. The closer your wedding style will be to their work, the more they will be able to help you in the preparation, advise you and direct you to other service providers.
I LOVE WHERE I LIVE BECAUSE… the French Riviera is by far one of the most beautiful regions in France; you can experience it in two different ways. First, Cannes le festival, Monaco and the incredible yachts, amazing boutiques, unforgettable nightlife, celebrity sightings, the restaurants with their grand chefs, or you can feel all the beauty and serenity she has to offer with warm crystal clear sea, cute little villages, local food, ski stations one hour drive from Nice, hiking by the rivers, beautiful Provence a step away... she has it all!
IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD IT WOULD BE… I had a teenage dream wish was living in New York and working for a fashion magazine but now I would say that I would love to try a year in Asia, just for the experience !
MY FAVOURITE MOVIE IS? That would be a mix between Pulp fiction, Dirty dancing and le Grand bleu.
MOST MEMORABLE MEAL I’VE EVER EATEN WAS… 10 years ago on a little beach in Indonesia, dinner time, we bought a fresh octopus and fish at a fisherman and the guy made them grilled in front of us, we ate our most delicious meal feet in the sand, watching the waves in Bali, we didn’t need anything else… memorable.
THE PETS I OWN ARE… we have a dog, a border collie, her name is Samba!
