What is lifestyle and vacation photography?

Vacation photography is a service where a professional photographer is hired to capture high-quality images of individuals or groups during their travels or vacations. These photographers specialize in documenting the highlights and memorable moments of the trip, ranging from scenic landscapes and iconic landmarks to candid portraits and group shots. The goal is to provide travelers with beautifully curated photographs that preserve their experiences and memories for years to come.

Hiring a professional vacation photographer frees you from the burden of having to document and capture your vacation, instead, allowing you to experience it to its fullest. You get to enjoy your travels and vacation, undistracted, while also enjoying professional level photography for your social media.

There are many online services that connect you with local photographers for photo sessions during your travels, but those sessions are usually very limited in duration, usually an hour or two, and rely heavily on posed and contrived scenes, and can often cost hundreds of dollars an hour.

As your dedicated vacation photographer, I travel with you, organically capturing your candid moments in both documentary and posed styles without you or your friends and family ever having to worry about taking a picture.

Vacation photography is very demanding; as the photographer, I am first to rise and last to bed, and I edit photos well into the night to make sure you have selected photographs ready to post to social media that night or at the start of the next day. It's demanding work, but the photographic results can be absolutely spectacular; the shots are worth it, both as a creative, art driven photographer, and as a client.

Within France or the U.S. state of California, there are generally little to no travel expenses when using my vacation photography services.
