Private Photo Session – Streets of Paris

If you’re planning a trip to Paris and want more than just photos taken on your phone, a private photo session could be just what you need. This experience offers you a chance to have a professional photographer capture your time in the City of Light, with images that are polished, personalized, and truly special.

It’s especially suited for those who want personalized, high-quality images without the fuss of a longer photo tour.

Why You Might Want to Try This Photoshoot

We’ll start with the obvious: Paris is a city that loves to be photographed, whether at iconic landmarks or hidden corners. This private session is designed to give you a more polished and memorable set of photos, compared to standard snapshots. At just $82 for a group of one, it’s surprisingly affordable considering the quality and speed of delivery.

The meeting point is easy to find — right in front of the Starbucks at metro Saint Paul — and the photographer will go over your options beforehand. That’s a big plus because it means you can tailor the shoot to your style. Want a classic shot at Rue de Rivoli? Or perhaps something more candid in a lesser-known part of town? This flexibility adds a lot of value.

Travelers who are new to Paris or unsure about posing will appreciate the tips and tricks provided. The photographer is there not just to snap pictures but to help you look natural and relaxed. And since you’re receiving 40 images selected and edited by the photographer, you’ll end up with a diverse collection that captures different moods and locations within the hour.

What the Experience Looks Like

The tour kicks off at 8/10 Rue de Rivoli, where you’ll meet your photographer in front of the Starbucks. After a brief chat about your preferences and ideas, you’ll set out for a one-hour session around the city. The itinerary includes at least one Parisian photo stop, likely the well-known Rue de Rivoli, which offers a classic Parisian backdrop with its historic architecture and lively street scenes.

There may also be a visit to a hidden gem—a lesser-known spot that photographers love for its charm and fewer crowds. The actual locations can be tailored to your interests, with the photographer’s expertise guiding the framing and timing for the best shots.

Throughout the session, you’ll try different poses, positions, and framing to create a variety of images. If you’re a beginner or camera-shy, don’t worry—the photographer offers simple tips to help you feel comfortable and natural. You’re encouraged to share your ideas and preferred looks, making this a collaborative experience.

After the shoot, the photographer will select the best 40 images and professionally edit them for color, lighting, and overall polish. Meanwhile, you’ll also get all the raw originals, giving you plenty of options for your own editing or printing later. The images will be uploaded to a private online folder, ready for you to view and download within 24 hours.

What we love:

• The quick turnaround means you’re not waiting weeks for your photos
• The personalized approach ensures your photos match your style and needs

Possible drawbacks:

Who Is This Tour Best For?

This experience is perfect if you’re visiting Paris and want high-quality, professionally shot images in a short amount of time. It suits solo travelers seeking professional headshots or social media content, couples wanting romantic keepsakes, or small groups aiming for a cohesive photo collection. If you’re not looking for a lengthy photo tour or extensive location hopping, this is a smart, straightforward option.

It also works well if you’re on a tighter schedule but still want some beautiful photographs to remember your trip. Keep in mind that if you’re after a diverse set of images from multiple locations, a longer or more elaborate session might be better suited.
