KIND WORDS

Testimonials from our Clients

quoteWe had the most wonderful experience with Lindsey from Pictours Paris Photography. From start to finish, she was incredibly kind, professional, and responsive, and she immediately put our whole family (including our dog!) at ease. The afternoon we spent together was truly enjoyable, and the results have exceeded all expectations. Her photos carry a unique atmosphere that goes beyond simple photography — something almost indescribable that makes them truly stand out. Lyndsey has the eye of an artist; every image feels like a piece of art rather than just a picture.

- Sally and Andy

quoteWe LOVE Lindsey and cannot recommend her enough! She has photographed my husband and I for every trip since 2018 and the photos she takes of us are some of our very favorites. When we got married I was so tempted to fly her out because she is incredibly talented. Lindsey has such an eye! We can’t wait to be back in Paris and see Lindsey again! If you are on the fence, this is me giving you a loving push. You will be glad you did!

Surprise Proposal Paris

quoteLook no further than Lindsay! My surprise proposal was the best it could have possibly been and Lindsay captured every step of the way. Lindsay is not only an incredible professional and very easy to work with, she is a wonderful person and made the experience seamless. She was readily available for conversations via phone/email to help calm my nerves, provide suggestions/guidance, and identify the perfect time of the day. Most importantly, the pictures turned out incredible and in very quick time. They were absolutely stunning. I highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a photographer in Paris for every occasion.

quoteI had an amazing experience working with Lindsey during our photo shoot in Paris (I need more stars). She is truly incredible at what she does. Lindsey's expertise in making my husband and I feel comfortable and guiding us through poses is exceptional. Despite my initial nervousness, she created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, capturing moments beautifully. I highly recommend Lindsey for her skill and professionalism.

Pictours Paris Family Photo Session

quoteLindsey and Pictours Paris was truly an amazing. She took the time to accommodate our family, curate a personalized experience with beautiful locations and work with our children (ages 5 and 3) to make them comfortable. The quality of her work matched the ease of the in-person experience. It truly made our visit to Paris something we'll never forget.

Pictours Paris Family Photo Session

quoteAmazing photographer! We worked with Lindsey about 8 years ago when we were first engaged and took our first trip to Paris. Our pictures were phenomenal and we have them all over our house. 8 years later our family and friends are STILL in love with the pictures so it was a no brainer to ask Lindsey if she would photograph us again. We wanted updated pictures because we of course aged but are now happily married and healthier than ever- so we look fairly different! She was amazing in selecting location and time- we weren't fighting with tourists or influencers to get amazing shots. She made us feel at ease and gave us amazing direction. We are not models by any means but Lindsey gave us such good direction that we could have fooled people with our pictures! I'm hoping to come back to Paris a third time maybe for some maternity pictures or family pictures once we have our family. We couldn't imagine anyone else photographing our milestones in our favorite city other than Lindsey. Our pictures are already hanging in our house and all over my Instagram- of course with TONS of likes-WE LOVE PICTOURS!!

Photographer Review Pictours Paris - Law Family

quoteThank You for the Amazing Memories, Lindsey!

For my first trip to Paris with my wife and one year old daughter, I wanted to have family photos taken. When you're traveling abroad, there's always a level of uncertainty when you book something, but Lindsey was very responsive towards my e-mails, and it made me feel confident and assured that I was going to have a great experience. Lindsey was very responsive and replied to all my e-mails and questions quickly, and since my wife and I are new parents (just like Lindsey), and both being born in the states, I felt a connection immediately. I placed my deposit and Lindsey laid out all the details; the process very smooth and easy.

Upon our arrival to Paris, it rained quite hard. I e-mailed Lindsey about my weather concerns and she had a plan B and C, and I knew I was in good hands. There are a lot of photo ops in the Trocadero area, that includes a carousel, residential neighborhoods, cafes (Linsdey recommended eating at Cafe Carette, and we loved it). Our photo shoot was at the Eiffel Tower, and luckily, during that hour we were there, it wasn't raining. She was prompt and waited for us at the Trocadero area of the Eiffel Tower and the whole session went very smooth despite the gloomy and rainy weather. My wife and I had a great experience and it was a pleasure to work with Lindsey! Our photos arrived exactly one month after the trip as promised and we love them! I absolutely recommend Lindsey and Pictours to anyone visiting Paris.

Photographer Review Pictours Paris - Law Family

quoteThank You Pictours Paris!

After spending countless hours, weeks, and days searching for the perfect photographer, Lindsey Kent is the answer to all your Paris photography needs.

Before I continue with my review, why should you listen to me? As someone who has worked in client-facing environments for over ten years and who currently works for one of the largest global firms, I know professionalism and expertise when I see it. Lindsey not only provided amazing service, but she did so with such charisma, professionalism, and skill that went above and beyond.

I contacted Lindsey roughly two months prior to my trip to Paris to plan my surprise proposal. Lindsey was responsive and often responded to my emails within the same day. Her initial emails covered all my questions and more. As someone who is very meticulous, I can assure you that Lindsey reviewed every possible instance and scenario available. I had the location already decided upon due to prior research and looking through her other client's surprise proposals. Lindsey helped provide the best time, day of the week, and positioning for the location which really helped calm my nerves and anxieties.

Lindsey and I remained in contact up to fifteen minutes prior to the proposal. We messaged each other the morning of, saying what we were wearing to ensure proper verification. When I arrived at the location with my (now) fiancée, I gave Lindsey a slight nod and she nodded back indicating the space was clear and I had the "green light". While Lindsey remained incognito, I dropped to one knee and proposed to my girlfriend (now Fiancée). Lindsey expertly captured the moment leading up to, during, and after in the most genuine light displaying true emotion.

After the hugs, kisses, and tears, I introduced my Fiancée to Lindsey who greeted us with smiles and hugs. She expressed how happy she was for us and explained she was going to walk us through a photoshoot. Lindsey was flexible in listening to our preferences for photos including the angles, positions, and stature. Furthermore, Lindsey provided advice on where to stand and how to pose for the best shots with the Eiffel tower in the background. She even offered to hold my Fiancées jacket while we took photos!

After the photoshoot, we received the photos in two short business days, we even received way more photos than we were expecting which was phenomenal. The photos were professionally edited and we could not be happier. We will have these photos, memories, and experiences for a lifetime and have Lindsey Kent to thank for this.

In terms of pricing, Lindsey is very fair and was able to be flexible by sending me the invoices in advance as it was the easiest method for me. Not only do you get phenomenal service and exceptional deliverables for the price, but you also get to share this experience with someone who genuinely cares about you and knows their stuff!

Conclusively, my Fiancée and I, as well as our friends and family, are very happy with the photos and greatly appreciate the hard work of Lindsey Kent and Pictours Paris. We highly recommend Lindsey and will continue to recommend her to any other travelers to Paris. Cheers Lindsey, best wishes to you and thank you again for everything.

A rainy afternoon with R&K around Pont Bir Hakeim. A rainy afternoon with R&K around Pont Bir Hakeim.🩶🤍❤️ We lucked out with the weather (in my opinion!) because a moody Paris feels romantic and cozy, and we didn’t have to battle any crowds at this otherwise very popular location. ☺️ #pictoursparis #parisphotographer #parisjetaime #parisphotography

Being behind the camera and sharing a walk through the gardens with these two last month reminded me why I love what I do — celebrating love, connection, and all the quiet magic this city holds. 🥰🤍✨

G&M, happy 10 year anniversary. So glad you chose to celebrate your love in Paris. Until next time! 🥰

Also! I’ll be in pairs through Christmas, so let’s make some magic! 🪄

Awww!🥰 I just loved the girls’ adorable outfits fo Awww!🥰 I just loved the girls’ adorable outfits for their recent family photo shoot at the Eiffel Tower. 🩷✨ 

And here’s a little side note about said monument. 😅

For a few years I started to avoid shooting at Trocadero (this location ⬆️) because of increased crowds and dozens upon dozens of other photo shoots going on there 24/7… it started to feel like a circus! 🎪 But today, each and every Eiffel Tower location is somewhat overflowing with influencers and other photographers - plus tourists. 

It’s the most iconic monument in the world (I think?), and with the social media and influencer explosion we’ve all bear witness to in recent years, it makes sense. Everyone wants to see these views and have their photos there. I get it! 

All this to say: we can still manage lovely photographs around the Eiffel Tower. We just have to be a bit patient. However, there’s a whole big and beautiful city with many locations to shoot at if you want to avoid the crowds. I’m here to guide you and help you decide! 🥰✨

I’m also curious to know from my clients and others who have shot around the Eiffel Tower lately: how did the crowds affect your experience or expectations? 🤔 

Thanks and happy weekend! 😘#pictoursparis #parisphotographer #parisfamilyphotographer #trocaderoyesorno
