Eco-present wrapping made beautiful with fabrics

December 12, 2018

After making a wreaths wall, how about not using too many new things to wrap your presents this year? And how about using no plastic and something you can recycle and people you give the presents to, can reuse?

An easy wreaths wall for Christmas

December 2, 2018

I got a bit wreaths crazy to prepare for the advent and the pre-Christmas period. I had this idea for a while and couldn't wait to share it with you! It was really all about using what I already had (ok, granted that I had quite a lot of accumulated tools already but still...). And I just only bought a couple more things to add on.Let me walk you through the process:

Sortir de sa zone de confort grace à Nicéphore

November 29, 2018

English will follow Voici une série de photos assez inhabituelle de ma part (en tous cas pour ceux qui me connaissent) : du noir et blanc et de la photographie de rue. Grace à ma formation de photo chez Nicéphore, une école de photographie à distance, je sors régulièrement de ma zone de confort, de mes sentiers habituels. Et j'adore ! J'apprends tellement de cette manière. Beaucoup plus qu'en restant dans ce que j'aime normalement faire (portraits d'enfants, styling de recettes etc.) :

Greece with the Flo Show - the Paros workshop

November 26, 2018

So. The Paros photography workshop. Which was so much more than that!Organised by the amazing Flo from the Flo show. I thought I would share it with you right away. The pictures were ready quite quickly, I filled in a folder named Paros. And I shared some on instagram too. But then I froze. It was like I wanted to hold those beautiful moments for myself in fact. As if sharing would take the experience away from me. And keeping it for me would make it closer a bit longer!But now I'm ready to share. Precisely because it is almost like reliving it again. Ready to tell you a bit about the magic that happened there. Follow me:

A simple winter salad recipe

November 18, 2018

As an introduction, I have to say, I just fell in love with those beets ! Aren't they beautiful. I think they look like roses... Anyway, this wasn't the beginning I thought I would do. Here is just a super simple recipe for a salad that will brighten the gloomy winter days:These beets are Chioggas. Or you can also call them candy stripes beetroot. They are an italian heirloom variety from the 19th century. And they are very tasty raw or cooked (once cooked, they become pink).Here is how you can eat this salad:

Fanny and baby Nina

October 18, 2018

My first baby mother shooting! I don't know if you remember but I had the chance to photograph Fanny when she was pregnant. And now I came back to her lovely flat to capture her and little Nina almost four months after birth:Nina is super cute. She was so lovely and quiet even though we changed her and tried to distract her for over two hours.We tried to recreate some of the pictures we took last time. But some things had changed so we did it a bit differently and the result is great anyway (You can check my previous post but I'll also show some before and after in my stories on instagram!):

Autumn recipes: vegan and gluten free apple and pear tart

October 5, 2018

You know I love the change of seasons. And I plan on sharing a few things you can do in each of them every year. Last year I showed you some cool autumn crafts and ideas to do with your kids. This year, I am sharing an apple and pear tart recipe. I took an apple tart recipe from Green kitchen stories and changed it a bit to my taste. It's really easy to make, vegan and gluten free for those who need to cut their dairies and wheats. But it's anyway very nice for the others too! You can find the original recipe here and below with some tiny twists:

Visit Österlen: some tips and pics

September 12, 2018

We spent four days in Österlen this year. It's a place we went to before, I wrote about it already on the blog. You can actually compare how I edited the pictures then and now, that's very interesting (to me at least , haha). We rented the coolest airbnb chosen by yours truly and my son. I really love that little bit of Sweden that is so different from the rest. If you are interested, here are some tips and pics of our stay:

Fancy a bit of a last summer feel before the craze of back to school and autumn start? Here are some easy summer cocktails recipes for you. And even better if you can do them with foraged berries and homemade cordial. That's the beauty of the transition between these two seasons I find :

Summer recipes ideas: cakes and popsicles

June 30, 2018

Summer is here! And it's time to use all the available veg and fruits to the max before it's only apples and pears. That's one of the thing I love about this season. I thought it would be a good idea to share some recipes I tried recently. Some cakes and popsicles which I think are perfect to try especially when it's hot outside. If you like red fruits and elderflower, follow me along, you will love these:

And now mother to Nina whom I'm hoping to photograph soon. We had a lovely session that I want to share with you. I hope you like so in case you would know someone who would want a similar one, let them know about me. Spread the word! :
