I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Bonjour,
Une très très belle photo... Une belle envie de retourner dans ce petit coin charmant... Gros bisous
Really wonderful 2008 shot. Have a safe trip back to Paris!
Winter is on its way. Time to brace our collars against the cold and head out with camera at the ready to capture images like this one V.
My first thought "Paris is beautiful no matter the season"
Très dépouillés, le vent du nord a emporté leurs feuilles.
such a pretty November capture - beautifully dessaturated - LOVE!
A nice cool, crisp day for sight-seeing in Paris, and you're only hours away from being there! Enjoy and take lots of photos!
You really are on a roll with spectacular photos, aren't you? This one is great!
That is a spectacular capture!
Gee, too bad those tree branches were in the way!
(Kidding.)
Beautiful shot.
