Hi, I’m Anaïs — AH-NAH-EES.
You found a real French stereotype. Yes, I really am French (and now American too, which still feels wild to say!). Food is my love language, if I’m not behind my camera, you’ll probably find me in the kitchen cooking something delicious, blasting heavy metal, and singing along at the top of my lungs.
I grew up in the countryside of the Champagne region and left France at 21 to see what was on the other side of the ocean. I haven’t stopped exploring since. First on my own, and now with my husband and sweet boy Oban by my side.
After a few years on the East Coast near NYC (this is why you’ll see a lot of my work from there on my website), we found our forever home here in Bend, Oregon. Since 2020-2021, this has been my full-time base for photographing couples in love and spending every free moment outside. In the summer, you’ll catch me hiking the mountains around Bend, camping, floating the river in Sunriver and in the winter, I’m usually up at Mt. Bachelor snowboarding as much as I can before wedding season kicks in again. And when I’m not moving, I’m probably curled up with a good book. I read a lot (seriously, a lot).
I thrive in the mountains and the quiet of the outdoors, but give me a bustling city with an amazing food scene and I’m in heaven. I adapt wherever I go. And I love bringing that same sense of adventure, warmth, and openness into my work. Whether you’re eloping on a peak at sunset, throwing a big party in your backyard, or planning a big celebration with your favorite people, I can’t wait to capture the moments that feel like you.
