Whilst I was in Paris for Fall Portrait Photo Sessions, I was lucky enough to meet with a family who I photographed in spring 2011. This year Shella and her family chose to have some family photos in the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel in Paris. And what a treat that was for me. Talk about decadence.
The family looked fabulous all frocked up and Le Grand Salon was just sublime. It was so beautifully opulent it reminded me of the Chateau de Versailes. All the gold certainly made for a luxurious backdrop. It was really incredible to have the opportunity to photograph a family in such a stunning venue as the Shangri-La. So a HUGE thanks to Shella for inviting me to capture her gorgeous family once again. I really was in photographer heaven!
Shella, I had such fun with you and the family and I really hope you enjoy your sneak peek and there are many more photos to come really soon.
