Paris. Let's Make it Memorable.
Paris in summer is stunning. Golden evening light, sun-drenched boulevards, and the city at its most alive. If you've always dreamed of professional photographs here, this July is your moment.
Sarah Iris Photography is offering a limited number of Summer Sessions in Paris from 1 to 20 July 2025 - for visitors, expats, and Paris residents alike.
With 15 years experience photographing in Paris - at the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, and beyond - I know these locations intimately. The best light, the perfect angles, and exactly how to make iconic places feel personal.
I know these locations intimately - the best light, the quietest corners, the hidden spots most tourists never find. Since returning to Sydney I've come back every year, and July is one of my favourite times to shoot.
When you book with me, you're not booking a stranger who happens to be visiting. You're booking someone who knows this city like a second home.
Who These Sessions Are For?
These sessions are a wonderful fit for:
- Families visiting Paris on holiday from Australia, the US, or anywhere in the world
- Expat families living in Paris who want beautiful portraits before the city empties out in August
- Couples - anniversaries, honeymoons, engagements, or simply because Paris is Paris
- Solo travellers and personal portraits
- Professionals wanting to update their personal branding or LinkedIn headshots with Paris as a backdrop
- High school seniors and university students travelling or studying abroad
- International school families marking the end of the school year or an upcoming posting move
Whether you've been in Paris for years and still haven't done that photoshoot, you're wrapping up a posting, or you're visiting from Sydney or San Francisco and have always dreamed of photos here - this is your moment.
5-Star Reviews from International Clients
Jill | New York
We've had 4 family shoots with Sarah Iris Photography and eager for more. She's incredibly talented and wonderful to work with. We've collaborated professionally too and I can't speak highly enough of her work.
These remain my most cherished portraits of my family. Sarah has great eye and wonderful way of working with people, especially children, to get the very best out of them. She's also an incredibly lovely person. Highly recommend!

Why Paris in Summer?
Stunning mornings, long golden evenings where the light between 7 and 9pm is simply magical. The city in full bloom, gardens and boulevards at their absolute best, and a natural backdrop that needs no filter. All of it before August, when the Parisians pack up and head south and the city takes on a completely different feeling.

"Follow your bliss." - Joseph Campbell. Capturing photographs is my bliss, and I hope I can share a little of it with you in Paris.
Based in Sydney and returning from Paris in late July, Sarah Iris Photography offers portrait sessions at some of Sydney's most iconic locations. If you're an Australian expat planning a trip home, or relocating back to Australia, a Sydney session is a wonderful way to capture your homecoming or celebrate the next chapter.
