Making a start today on editing the photos for @my_little_escape_in_france

I have already had the opportunity to photograph several of Claudia's ESCAPES. Including her former holiday rental where I took this photo.

During the shoot last week at Claudia's place, I had a lot of furniture and accessories that were in her previous home back in front of the lens, including this chair.

So nice to be able to come back again to take photos at clients.

Ps @amylouisehatch and I still have room for 2 to 3 styled shoots in September in France, Dordogne region, Lot et Garonne and the Gers.

Feel free to DM your email address and I'll send you our photoshoot information brochure.

Another quiet day planned today before I throw myself into the editing process of the photos taken in France tomorrow.

Did you know that editing often takes almost as much time as photographing itself?

From uploading all the RAW files (think a few hundred per shoot) and sorting them to the editing process with adjustments in alignment, exposure, white balance, shadows, saturation and more - it's a elevating job

Then saving them in various formats, such as low resolution for the web, high resolution and .tiff files for prints, after that a final check and then it’s time to send the compiled collection of photos to the client.

But always such a satisfied feeling after this process.

I can't wait to share all the photos from @chateaulesmerles @my_little_escape_in_france @_les_marguerites_ @ribbonsandcases with you.

So already looking forward to adding magic to the photos but first, another day of relaxation and a long walk in nature.

Today, I'm flying back home after 10 incredible days of photography in the Dordogne, France.

I truly have a dream job. I've cherished every shoot, every location, every client, but most of all, working together with @amylouisehatch (check out today's stories!) has been amazing. The styling for each shoot was spot on, making it a joy to photograph.

Now, it's time to rest for a few days before diving back in because the work isn't finished yet.

I still need to sort through and edit all the photos. It's quite a task, but it allows me to relive these French shoots a little longer. I can't wait to show you all.

Heading to france tomorrow!!! And this time, I'm not traveling and working alone.

My dear friend, creative director and photo stylist @amylouisehatch is joining me.

We have already worked together and now we have teamed up and will work together more and more.

All ESCAPE shoots in France next week will be styled by Amy and photographed by me. So excited for this.

Follow us over the next 10 days through our stories. And if you are now thinking, "I want that for my holiday accommodation too,"

Feel free to DM us and we will send you more information.

We love to create a collection of beautiful and elegant photos of holiday accommodations with a history and a sense of place. Thoughtfully curated spaces, carefully chosen details, beauty and charm in the old, the weathered and the loved. Interiors are full of texture and patina, tonal in colour and the use of natural materials, that's what we love the most to capture.

In june, we have 2 more opportunities for shoots in the Cotswold, England, and in september, there's still some space for shoots in France.

If your escape is somewhere else in Europe or the World, no problem, we love to travel and come over to create a collection of atmospheric photos for your exquisite hideaway.

Next week will be filled with lots of this. And by 'this' I don't mean enjoying charcuterie boards and sipping wine, but lots of beautiful photo styling!

I tell all about it in my post tonight, stay tuned

Because of my trip to France, I get a lot of DMs asking how things are going with the purchase of the 'sleeping beauty' (for those who don't already know: I may have bought a house in Dordogne, France).

I thought I'd give you an update. Unfortunately, the 7 heirs have still not come to an agreement among each other and now 6 lawyers and 4 notaries are involved on their side to see if they can work it out that way. Meanwhile, we are (no longer so) patiently waiting.

But, already continuing to look around for other houses for sale as it seems like an endless saga and it is uncertain whether it will actually go through.

I will keep you updated.

Can't wait to return here...

Counting down the days until I reunite with my dear friend Marielle, stroll with my home away from home dog, Kyra, unwind with a blissful massage at the finest beauty salon in the Dordogne, and of course, capture a lot of beauty for @_les_marguerites_

I'm looking forward to my upcoming journey for work. Just a few more days of patience, and I'll be off to France once again, ready to capture beautiful ESCAPES.

And, of course, I've made sure to schedule some time to explore enchanting chateaus, medieval villages, and French markets and brocantes.

Can't wait to immerse myself in French life
