Paris, Marrakech:
the story
TRAVEL, LIFESTYLE, FOOD AND PEOPLE PHOTOGRAPHER
Hello! I’m Virginie — a French lifestyle and travel photographer, born and raised in Paris, with a deep creative connection to Morocco: I lived in Marrakech for 9 years, and still go back regularly — my two children are half-Moroccan, and so is a piece of my heart.
I now work between France, Morocco… and wherever inspiring projects call.
My work blends photography, styling, and creative direction, with a special love for beautiful places and meaningful stories. I create visual content for hotels, brands, designers, and magazines — from interiors and architecture to soulful portraits and editorial-style narratives.
Beyond the lens, I often handle styling and mood creation during shoots, helping shape a cohesive visual identity. I’m also the community manager and visual storyteller for 5 star Parisian Hotel Le Ballu , where I oversee Instagram content, storytelling, and brand imagery.
I live for exploration, and believe the best projects are born through collaboration — with intention, curiosity, and a little magic!
Clients: Maison Sarah Lavoine, Hôtel Ballu ,
La Seinographe, Think Deco studio (Paris),
La Mamounia, Kasbah Bab Ourika (Marrakech)...
"I believe that our life doesn't have to look like anyone's else".

A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME
– I’m a social chameleon — not because I change who I am, but because I adapt easily to new people, cultures, and environments.
– I’m a true people person: I listen, connect, and never forget a name.
– As a travel and lifestyle photographer, I’ve learned to stay flexible, read the light, and make every detail count.
– I often wear many hats on set: photographer, stylist, art director, creative eye.
– I’m resourceful and calm under pressure — whether I’m in a medina, on a rooftop, or styling a breakfast scene at sunrise.
– I believe: if you don’t recognize your own value, the world won’t either.
– I’m in a long-term love affair with travel — and I trust my instinct to lead me where the next story lives.

Venice, a few years ago
We arrived in the rain, and woke to a city glittering like a diamond...
Venice always knows how to make an entrance

“Bghiti atay?” — “would you like some tea?”
In Marrakech, a cup of tea is never just tea.
It’s a way of saying: stay a little longer,
sit, listen, become part of the moment.
In the rising steam, strangers become almost family.
Sharing tea isn’t just hospitality — it’s a quiet embrace, a moment where words can rest
and presence becomes the whole conversation 🇲🇦

Celebrating the quiet little sparks that make life feel expansive again.
Maybe it’s the end of a cycle (year 9, I see you 👀), maybe it’s the simple joy of feeling aligned… but lately I’ve been catching myself smiling for no particular reason — almost suspiciously. And then I remind myself: joy isn’t suspicious. It’s a signpost.
There’s so much to be grateful for right now:
▪︎My Marrakech book — still a work in progress, but suddenly accelerating in the most unexpected ways (an art residency is even happening… Will share more soon!)
▪︎The beautiful book by @sylvieganter with my photos and the amazingrecipes by @jelka.holler coming September ‘26.
▪︎ A milestone birthday next July 🎂 (poke @marina.plazzi : we need to sprinkle some magic on that one !).
▪︎ And my dear clients-who-are-not-just-clients, @hotelballu @juliavidalenc — creating with you continues to be a gift.
▪︎ And soon… a very special trip to close the year and step into 2026 with intention, wonder, and maybe a bit of glitter.
Sometimes joy just wants to be shared — like a little vibration you send into the world for anyone who needs a reminder that lightness does return.
Here’s to what’s unfolding, what’s beginning, and what’s quietly blooming behind the scenes ❤
