VISIT LES BAUX DE PROVENCE!
Imposing Medieval Village on a Rock
Les Baux is known as one of the most beautiful villages in France and has charming, narrow streets and while the village is tiny, there are wonderful activities in the area. My favorite activity is the impressive Carriéres des Lumières, an immersive art venue housed in a former limestone quarry, which has been transformed into a spectacular setting for digital art exhibitions. You literally feel as if you're part of the painting!
It's so easy to get to Les Baux, it's just outside of Saint-Remy-de-Provence & Arles!

Who are you, are you French & do you speak English?
I'm Karina, a dynamic, high energy passionate professional photographer in France, living in France since 2014. I'm originally from the United States and English is my native language. I also speak French and a little Spanish! You can learn more about me here.
What is the rate for the Karina Leigh Photography couples photo sessions in Provence?
The rate for Provence Couples Photo Sessions in the incredibly historic town of Arles is 475€ and includes a wonderfully fun morning of photos and memories as we stroll around this gorgeous old village. Photo sessions in the lavender fields are customized and are 1199€ with private transportation.
We're a bit camera shy & don't love being photographed, how will you approach that?
I completely understand! That's why I approach photo sessions in Provence very casually and it's more like a photo walk or photo tour than stressful photo session. We'll be seeing Provence together, and I'll give you gentle guidance so that you don't feel uncomfortable, but so that we'll capture some amazing memories for you. It's designed to be a no stress, fun experience!
What time of day are the Provence couples photo sessions available?
I love to photograph couples in the morning for several reasons. First, it's less crowded in the morning and makes for a more pleasant experience to have a bit of Provence to ourselves. Second, in the summer months in particular, it can get quite bright and hot the later we go, so it's also more comfortable in the morning. We usually start at 8:00 am, or in summer we can also start at 7:00 am or sunrise. If your schedule only permits afternoons, we can also make that work!
What should we wear? Can you recommend a makeup artist?
After you reserve with me, I'll be sending you my exclusive Couples Style Guide, which will have tips on what to wear. In general, light fabrics are best in the summer months, and monochromatic outfits usually look best, although sometimes patterns can work as well.
Yes, if you like, I can also recommend a makeup/hair artist that will help you look your very best!
Where will we meet, and how will we get around?
In Arles, we'll be meeting at the old Roman amphitheater and I'll send you directions. We'll walk, Arles is so compact!
How would we book and pay? Do you require a deposit?
Booking is so easy, just send me an email here to request your date, and I'll let you know of my availability. If we're less than a month out, I'll request the entire amount, otherwise, a non-refundable retainer of 150€ is requested to reserve your date, and the balance would be due 30 days before we meet. You may pay online via secure credit card payment.
