Amongst the grapevines | Family Photographer | Avignon ~ Sarah Gardan Photography

On my recent trip to France I was lucky enough to be invited down to Avignon  in the south of France to have a photo session with a fabulous family that I photographed previously in Paris. I knew it was going to be an adventure and had no doubt that I would have lots of fun with the SIX kids and their folks.

And fun we had. 

How could you not have fun surrounded by grape vines and cute kids in the south of France!

Aren’t the girls just divine in their red dresses and braids!

And the boys were cheeky as ever.

Although I have to say they had just the right amount of cheekiness.How lovely are those green grape vines and don’t they just make a divine back drop!

Of course with the boys being boys, they decided to climb the wall and I have to say it was actually pretty high. I just love the beautiful stonework which is so representative of southern France.Even the littlest family member was in the spirit of the photo session having lots of fun with her brothers and sisters in the vines.And of course a nice rest with her dad too.I could have taken photos of this family ALL day long.

Jess & Ian, here’s a little taste of your photos and once again thanks for the fabulous invitation as I had such a blast with you and the family!

Tempted to have a photo session in an exotic location? Sarah is available for photo sessions at many different locations around the world including Paris, New York, Singapore and Sydney. Have somewhere else in mind? Why not drop an email to sarah.gardan@gmail.com

Bon voyage Paris | Child & Family Photographer | Paris ~ Sarah Gardan Photography

I’m always thrilled when I’m booked for a photo session by families who are leaving Paris after a few years of life in Paris. After all photos are a fabulous keepsake of Paris. So when Deborah and her American family, who had been living in Paris for several years, contacted me to take photos in and around Paris my heart did a little happy dance. It’s always a mixture of emotions leaving a city, especially Paris which tends to pull on the heart strings just a little more than other cities. Of course our first stop was the Eiffel Tower but I am going to be cheeky and save those photos for Deborah in her gallery and today I’m going to share some of the photos from the Luxembourg Gardens. I mean let’s face it, it’s yet another pretty stunning Parisian location.

Deborah has the cutest little family and I have to say they looked fabulous in their terribly stylish grey outfits.

It’s really interesting sharing in family life during a photo and one of the things that struck me about Deborah and her hubby is how in LOVE they are. It was really lovely (and super refreshing) to see.

And the kids were just too adorable to keep the camera away for too long.

And being autumn, the golden leaves in the Luxembourg Gardens were just stunning and made for a great backdrop for the photos.And as you can see everyone was into the fun.

Whilst always squeezing in a quiet moment for a repose.Deborah, I hope you and the family are well and that the move back to the USA goes really well and you’re enjoying your new adventure with an american flavour.

And in the meantime, you’ll always have Paris.

The European adventure | Family Photographer | Paris ~ Sarah Gardan Photography

I recently met Jane and her delightful family who were having a holiday throughout Europe. And luckily for me it happened to coincide with my recent trip to Paris. So one beautiful autumn day we met in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower to have a photography session with a Parisian flavour. I always think it’s such a real treat to meet fellow Australians in Paris and Jane and her family were just lovely. How adorable are her two kids?

The gorgeous Jed …

And his equally gorgeous big sister Ellie.

We had a great morning together exploring the streets of Paris and having a little fun along the way.

And with such happy faces it was impossible for me not to enjoy myself too.

And let’s be honest, super cute kids always make it more fun too.

And yes okay, Paris isn’t such a bad back drop either!

Jane & Adrian, I hope you enjoyed the rest of your European adventure and that these photos bring back some lovely memories of your trip.

Bound for Shanghai | Family Photographer | Paris ~ Sarah Gardan Photography

One of the things I love about being a photographer is being able to create special memories that can be treasured now and in the future. I especially LOVE to capture photos of families who have lived in Paris and who are moving to a new adventure in another city. So I was thrilled when Amy asked me to capture her family before they moved to Shanghai.  For Amy and Jerome it was even more significant as this local park by the Eiffel Tower is where they spent many family outings over the years.Amy & Jerome have three gorgeous boys … … aren’t they they just divine!And you can see there’s a touch of mischief behind these very sweet eyes.

Cheeky chops aren’t they!And don’t you just love the strawberry blond, blue-eyed combination on the boys!

Amy & Jerome I had so much fun meeting you and I have to say you made my job super easy with such a gorgeous family.And Amy I’m super impressed that you take everything in your stride and make having three boys look super easy.

Hopefully you guys are settling nicely into Shanghai and that these photos bring back some lovely memories of Paris.
