Hello, it's so nice to meet you
MY NAME IS HELENE
I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a French photographer, currently based in Annecy, nicknamed La Venise des Alps, the beautiful city of Haute-Savoie!
I'm passionate about traveling the world with my lovely family. We had the opportunity to live 7 years abroad, in North America between Chicago, IL and Montreal, QC. This was such an amazing experience!
I’m also graduated in Clinical Psychology Master Degree, and was working for 8 years with children having special needs, behavior disorders.
I want your story to be told, to be cherished, to be remembered. I want you to have a collection of memories to keep forever.
I believe the only way to achieve this goal is to capture honest and true connections. It’s about the messy, the real, the ordinary, the feelings, the moments, the love.
It’s about the story, YOUR story.
Not just a photographer, but a visual storyteller for loved-up souls

I'm Helene, a romantic and hyper-sensitive girl. I have always been creatively minded and have a deep love for true connection between humans, the unabashed real type of connection.
At the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most.
Inspired by genuine connection
& driven by deep emotion
I believe getting to know someone helps me to photograph them. That’s my sense of purpose when it comes to photography.
I want to connect with you and find out what makes you smile, laugh, dance, what makes you sad and what makes you heart swing.
What inspires me
What inspires me
I'm a coffee addict, I love all things sweet - especially when it comes to french pastries, I enjoy the smell of warm baked cookies filling up my kitchen, morning family snuggles in bed.
These moments with my loved ones mean so much to me and I truly believe it's the small things that give our lives meaning.

Things
I'm passionate about traveling the world and love exploring new places - that's why I always open to new destinations!
During a family session, you might be worried if your little one acts like a monster at some point, and I understand it can be a bit stressful - I get it!
But trust me, there is beauty in everything. Your love, chaos, dancing, the way you look at each other... I want you to connect, I want to capture these intimate moments. All the little things that will be forgotten if they're not recorded or captured.
exploring the most authentic way
to tell your story & celebrate your love
Behind the lens
Behind The Lens
When it comes to weddings, I’ll be there as a wallflower behind the scenes, photographing authentic moments and details that may've slipped by unnoticed.
Whether you want me to inconspicuously lurk in the shadows, snapping candid shots or be right up the front, rounding everyone up for group photos, I'll be there to document your love story - and all the fun bits.

Do you think of having a destination wedding or skipping all the fuss and eloping overseas?
To be able to travel the world and capture love is one of the most amazing parts of my job - I still pinch myself whenever I get the opportunity.

laura & khang
" Helene is a professional and talented artist that I highly recommend! Before I planned my wedding, the first thing I did was to book Helene because her portfolio was really my style. We knew from the beginning we were in good hands. Our photos are beautiful and magazine worthy! I can't believe these are MY photos for MY wedding.
Helene exceeded our expectations! "
marion & arthur
" In addition to her talent and her unique artistic and photographic "touch", our experience with Helene was truly exceptional. Her gentle and caring nature made the entire process smooth and easy, allowing us to feel very at ease as she captured our life memories. The outcome exceeded our expectations; it was sublime and magical. Helene has this incredible power to capture details and emotions that even a deeply enamored naked eye might overlook. Thank you Helene! "
marine & louca
" This was the first time we had our photos professionally taken, so we were a little camera-shy at the beginning. Helene knew how to guide us in the choice of outfits, location, prompts. We really appreciated that she took the time to get to know us so that the photos really look like us. The result exceeded our expectations! We will gladly repeat the experience! "
natalie & lester
" As it was an important event - a marriage proposal - and I was planning everything from Singapore, I was rather concerned with the logistics and arrangements required. Helene was very helpful and responsive, even when it came to the details. She created a very friendly atmosphere. The result came out fantastic! Our images show candid emotions against a resplendent background - exactly what we hoped for. Thanks again Helene, we really appreciate your hard work and dedication to your craft! "
vanessa's family

She is incredibly patient and creative - she knows how to capture genuine moments and all the sweet little details. We love all our time with her and all the photos she delivers. We highly recommend Helene! "
luna & rÉmi
" Having followed Helene for a while on social networks and being amazed by her incredible work, I was only hoping for her return to France. It was such an amazing experience to be photographed by Helene! Being bathed in sunlight with my lover, surrounded by mountains, this moment felt so soft and natural. Our images are filled with emotion, love and happiness. Many thanks Helene for these precious memories! "
jana & larbi
" Helene documented our civil wedding in Geneva, Eaux-Vives. We are very grateful and happy with the pictures we received! They are absolutely gorgeous, every single one of them! Helene was able to capture all the emotions of the day in such a seamless way, and was very easy to work with. I highly recommend Helene for her top-notch service, and the prompt delivery of the images. Thank you so much Helene for capturing our big day! "
LOAN & jean-luc
" From being very timely in responding to my messages to providing us with plenty of wonderful ideas & professional recommendations, Helene worked closely with us to make our project come true. After we met Helene and had a little chat during the hike up on the mountain, my fiance and I felt very comfortable. It was just our regular hiking trip - the only difference was, this time, we had a friend accompanied us and captured our special moments. "
cindy's family
" We enlisted Helene's services twice to capture our family memories. She immediately made us feel comfortable and skillfully depicted our small family with grace and tenderness. The outcome is natural, intimate, and gentle. We extend a heartfelt thank you to Helene for her professionalism and incredible kindness! "
flavie's family
" We absolutely loved the fact that we didn't have to pose, everything felt so natural. Helene knows how to make you feel comfortable. We had a real crush not only for her talent but for the human being she is as well. Helene truly cares about her clients and she manages to bring out all the emotions in the images. Thank you so much Helene for the magic you captured for our family and all these beautiful moments we shared together! "
