A candid, emotional photograph capturing connection, love, and storytelling through natural light and thoughtful composition.

Bonjour, I'm Adélaïde

LET'S GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER

Born in France but calling New York home for the past 6 years, I’m lucky to be living my dream in the city that inspires me every day. From its endless energy to its unforgettable love stories, New York is where my passion for photography truly came to life.


Capturing raw emotions and authentic moments is what drives me. Whether it’s a surprise proposal, a joyful celebration, or an intimate connection, I’m here to turn your most beautiful moments into timeless memories. Let’s create something unforgettable together !



My philosophy :

real moments,

true love and

a good sense of humor



There’s nothing more powerful than memories

that truly reflect who you are.




As a lifestyle photographer, my mission is to capture the natural, spontaneous moments that make your story unique.


My photography sessions are all about you

— your love, your laughter, your everyday magic. Whether it’s playing with your children, sharing a quiet moment with your partner, or simply being yourselves, I’ll guide you with warmth and joy to help you feel comfortable and seen.



Each photo session is personalized to reflect your world. We’ll choose a location that means something to you : your cozy home, your favorite coffee shop, the park down the street, or the iconic skyline of Manhattan.

Before each session, we’ll chat to plan everything together and make sure your photos look and feel like you. Because the most beautiful images are the ones that tell your story.

TESTIMONIALS

I don't even know where to begin but I will start by saying that Adélaïde is beyond talented and amazing! We worked with her for our engagement and wedding and her work has continuously blown us away. Adélaïde was one of the first people I texted the morning after our wedding after seeing just a few of the sneak peek photos she had shared. I wanted to share my text to her for reference, which said, "Adélaïde!!!!! I don't know how to properly thank you for capturing us, our favorite people, and our day so perfectly! We are beyond lucky to have found someone as immensely talented to work with us, but more importantly, someone who went the extra mile to get to know us as people and make sure our photos reflect exactly who we are. My sister just texted me about how in awe she was of your photos and said, 'Adélaïde was the find of the century' and I couldn't agree more. We love you so much and are forever grateful for you!" This was after just seeing a handful of photos and we somehow felt even MORE in love and grateful after seeing all of our photos (which for the record, Adélaïde turned around for us in absolute RECORD TIME)!


What is most special about Adélaïde is the genuine love she is for helping others in celebrating special moments in their life. It is so clear how invested she is in her work and how committed she is to her clients. I was moved to tears in the car with Adélaïde and my sister before even meeting my husband for our first look and that was in large part due to how sweet Adélaïde was to me and how genuinely excited she was for these special moments for us.

It was also amazing to watch Adélaïde in action! She was incredibly well planned and knew the locations we were shooting in well, but she also came up with amazing shot ideas on the spot as she was inspired by things that were around us. It was really fun to watch her work. Plus she makes you feel so comfortable in her presence that you settle into having endless photos of your captured so easily and can therefore let your personalities shine.


When our final photos came in (which for the record, was SO fast-- she had our photos back to us 1 month after our wedding!), we were blown away by ALL that she captured! Beyond shots of us and our families that so beautifully captured the essence of us and our feelings on that day, she got so many other amazing shots. She captured the venue and all the details of the day amazingly well and got the best candid shots of all of our guests. I have had so much fun sharing these photos with our friends and family and they have been thrilled to get such special pictures of themselves from our wedding day.


As you can see, I could go on and on and ON about Adélaïde and just how amazing of a person and professional she is. If you have the chance to work with Adélaïde you have to take it! She makes the entire experience a dream and you will have the dreamiest photos of your memories to last a lifetime. Adélaïde, we will love and adore you forever and wish you all the success in the world! You are a true star and an absolute gem of a human being!



Maggie & Zach

"I don’t have enough words to express how happy and lucky we have been to have met Adelaide. She made everyone feel comfortable and she took both candid and posed pictures of basically everyone on our wedding day. I will cherish those for the rest of my life. We couldn’t get anyone better to capture our perfect day, and I am sure that we will calm her back for future family sessions. She is flexible, sweet and super talented. We couldn’t recommend her enough!"

Manon & John

"Working with Adélaïde was a fantastic experience! From our pregnancy announcement in New York to our family session in Los Angeles, she exceeded all expectations! She's an absolute pro with kids – a photoshoot with a toddler is not easy, but she handled her with ease, capturing some incredibly natural and beautiful shots. Plus, she was super flexible when we had to reschedule multiple times due to bad weather in New York. We received gorgeous photos that perfectly capture our family's love and joy. Couldn't be happier! Thank you again Adelaïde"

CELINE

"If I could give 6 stars, I would try to give 7. Adelaide has captured a couple of the most beautiful moments of our family’s lives and has done so with flawless pictures. The engagement to my now wife + fall and winter photoshoot with our new puppy, these are pictures we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you Adelaide and consider yourself lucky if you get to work with her"


JEFF

"What can I say about Adelaide.. probably the BEST photographer in New York!! I’ve had the pleasure to have her capture a big milestone in my life which was my proposal to my fiancé. She’s very communicative, flexible, friendly and overall the quality of her work is perfection. Next time, you’re in NY and need a photographer. She is the way to go!"


Joshua

"Adelaide is an incredibly talented photographer! She captured beautiful photos of me, my husband and our newborn baby (and our dog too!). She is both professional and very genuinely warm and kind. We had excellent communication throughout and she was very easy to work with. We are so grateful for our photos and the memories we got captured that we’ll treasure forever as a family."


SOPHIA

Adelaide captured the most perfect pictures of my surprise proposal. Of course the photos turned out STUNNING, because obviously she’s talented. What made the whole experience too tier was how friendly Adelaide was and how comfortable she made us feel. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a kind and talented photographer!⭐️



AMANDA

When I think back to my proposal, the only thing that comes to mind is the word “perfect”. It was everything I had dreamed of and I wanted every moment captured for the rest of my life. Adelaide did that and so much more. Every time I see these pictures, I’m overwhelmed with joy. Not only were the pictures perfect, but my fiancé told me about how Adelaide had worked with him for weeks on end to plan out the perfect proposal. We only booked a 30 minute session yet Adelaide spent an hour. She then edited and provided us the pictures in just a few hours before we had even finished dinner. Professional, talented, empathetic, caring are just a few of many traits that make Adelaide the best photographer in NYC.

The part of my proposal I was most stressed about was the moment itself and the area being a bit new to me. Adelaide truly put that all at ease. From suggestions on where to go, stop, and make it happen, her guidance allowed me to be truly in the moment and not stress about logistics. Add in the incredible photos and posing/direction and I couldn’t recommend her more. After our proposal we were both a bit of “ deer in headlights” 😂 but Adelaide directed us kindly but directly to make sure we got all the photos and angles we could possibly want. If you’re looking for a photographer for any occasion, stop your search now and book Adelaide..seriously A++
