I spent most of my childhood in France. I then came to Scotland when I was 22 for a summer, with some friends. Mainly to work and learn English and discover Edinburgh. I then met my husband Michael, whose office was across the street from the café I got a job at. We moved in together two months later and I never moved back to France!
We have four daughters Ada, who is 11, Colette, who is 7, Nico is 3 and Baby Stella.
When I settled in Edinburgh, we set up a bistro in our old neighbourhood and I ran it for 10 years. I am now a photographer, although photography has always be a part of my life from very young. For me, it is a way of focusing on the good things, the little snippets in life, the beautiful moments I share with my family. I make a point to print my family photos so there is an analogue feel and touchable object. I think it is very important to be reminded in our fast paced society to take time, appreciate what we have. Photography helps me focus. As well as my photography I have just published a cookery book for children available at the moment just in France.
