Pose in front of Chamonix's peaks while a local photographer finds the light

A private 90-minute photo session in Chamonix with a local photographer who customizes locations and timing to the season and your preferences.

The experience

Before the session starts, Nicola contacts you directly to learn what you're after (whether that's family portraits against Mont Blanc, solo shots in the meadows, or candid moments in the village), and suggests specific locations based on the season and the best light. She'll advise on what to wear so the photos work with the landscape instead of against it. The session itself runs 90 minutes and moves between the spots she's picked, with her framing each shot and directing you through the moment.

One week after you shoot, you'll join a Zoom call to review the edited images. All photos come back professionally retouched and ready to download in high resolution. You pick which ones to buy: five images run €200, or ten run €350. You're not paying for the session itself: only for the photos you actually want to keep.

Nicola works in English or French and knows Chamonix's hidden corners as well as its famous backdrops. The session is accessible to all fitness levels, and you can bring a stroller if you're traveling with infants. Public transport reaches the meeting points, so you don't need a car to get there.

Is this one for you?Nicola meets you at a location you'll confirm together: no car needed, and public transport reaches the spots she picks. This works whether you're staying in the valley or higher up, since she builds the session around where you are and what the light is doing that day.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and French.

What if I don't like the photos or want to see different locations?

You choose which images to purchase from the edited set Nicola sends. If you want to reshoot or try different spots, that's a separate booking. The initial session is one 90-minute block with the locations she suggests based on season and light.

How does the Zoom viewing work, and when do I get the photos?

Nicola sends you a Zoom link for one week after the shoot. You'll see all the edited images on screen, pick your favorites, and purchase them that day or later. Once you buy, you download the high-resolution files immediately.

Can Nicola photograph me in a specific location I have in mind?

Yes, when you book, tell Nicola what you're picturing. She'll confirm whether that spot works for the season and time of day, or suggest an alternative that will give you better light and a stronger backdrop.

What should I wear for a mountain photo session?

Nicola gives wardrobe advice before the shoot. She'll suggest colors and styles that work with the landscape and the light at the time you're shooting, so the photos feel cohesive instead of clashing with the peaks behind you.

Do I have to buy all the photos, or can I pick just a few?

You choose which images to purchase. The package prices are €200 for five edited digital photos or €350 for ten. You only pay for the ones you want to keep.
