Not only does Paulette do gorgeous work, she is wonderful to work with. I felt at ease with her from the very moment I met her. The moment you step into her softly lit waiting room your stress melts away and you feel like you are awainting a massage in a fancy spa. She has a scented candle going and offers you chocolate and a soft drink. She is just a lovely person and her work speaks for itself. Check out her website, you won't be disappointed. read more

had a boudoir session done 2 years ago with a groupon... sadly I was not too impressed as a female in their mid 20s looking for some sexy photos as an xmas gift. She was very nice and DID make me feel comfortable and at ease being in lingerie none the less. I wish I could say the photo results were as positive as that aspect. She had me close my eyes for a LOT of the photos.... so many of them had the same look/feel and honestly it didn't look good, or "sexy artistic" as you might think. You will see she uses this option in a lot of her photos when you browse them. Some of the positions she had me do looked just plain strange when i reviewed the session. I found all my photos to be bland and similar pr just really odd....there was only 1 I really liked and 2 others i found to be mediocre... my bf was also not impressed at all sadly - though he appreciated the effort to have them done. The images I paid for with the groupon (3) were given to me in very poor quality on a disc (which took a LONG time to receive) im assuming with the hope i might resort to buying them from her directly for quite a hefty price.... not pocket friendly in the least. Sadly a poor expeience... maybe it was just me, or the day. Glad it was a cheaper prices groupon and not the real cost. read more

My fiance and I hired Alexandre for our engagement photographs. From our initial contact to the day…read moreof shooting he was nothing but courteous, communicative, and responsive to us and our requests. We had an initial conversation to discuss our ideas about the shoot and he took the time to listen and learn about what was important to us. This was entirely evidenced by the final product. His pictures are very "us" and turned out beyond our expectations in perfectly capturing our life and relationship. The day of, we had a great time. Alexandre made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. He was a perfect balance of hands off, but also supportive in providing feedback and suggestions for shots. We really appreciated this about his style of photography. He was extremely prepared and had obviously done alot of pre-work in researching good locations around the area we had suggested. He took the time to get a wide variety and strong quality of pictures. And we really appreciated not feeling rushed or held to a strict time-constraint. The whole process felt very organic. I cannot recommend Alexandre more highly. He is a true artist and we are very thankful for his time, consideration, and professionalism!

Absolutely fabulous! One of the best decisions I made for our wedding! Hilarious, easy to work…read morewith, very professional and goes above and beyond to get the right shot! Very talented as well! We recommend him and we will use him again for family photos and celebrations! Superb!
