About Me
- Virginia
- Birmingham, AL, United States
- 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.
Paris je t'aime
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.

Just adorable~
Ciao Virginia, When I say this photo first thing I made has been to smile. It's contagious :D :D :D
Just caught back up with you -- travel and drawing vs. painting have pulled me away -- I like this shot! How carefully the child is tied in; a moment of calm for the father... I love your new header photo of the coffee cup -- beautiful! have you seen Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris" yet? A love-letter to the city....
This picture brings happiness to our heart, from the lovely kid face and expression, it's really adorable!
So wonderful how a picture can preserve the moment, it's something magical indeed!

Beautiful gardens, beautiful carousel, beautiful children, beautiful photo --- but best of all is the beautiful memory of the visit there with you and Genie! Bises
Fantastico e dolce
That day was a bonanza for the photographers and full of children with parents on a Sunday afternoon. It was a year ago this weekend with Mary and Marie... what fun we had!
Marie and Genie, Yes just a year ago we were seeing Paris together. What wonderful memories.
Italo, I"m glad I made you smile!
32, I thought he was a cutie as well.
Ann, Glad to have you back with us. Guess where I'm headed tonight?? I can't wait to see it.
Léla, I was lucky to capture this sweet scene.
mauropucci, Merci!
Sweet .. and he was looking right at you!
Charming. No one catches kids the way you do.
So Sweet V !!!
Cutie!
You've done it again - a beautiful portrait of a child, in Paris no less!
Daddy looks bored and the kid looks distracted.
He is so cute and it is nice to hear the pretty voice of Françoise Hardy.
Absolutely precious, V! I'll bet that Parisian papa would love to have this photo.
