Another gorgeous Paris photo shoot for everydayparisian in the books featuring cuyana and sezane and Rebecca’s calendar and book! It was extra exciting to see the book come to fruition for her and hold it in real life, especially after having photographed the front cover, portrait on the back cover, and many of the portraits and spreads inside the book! You can order Rebecca’s book from the link in her profile ❤️. I’m grateful for our friendship over the years and as always, thank you for trusting me with your Paris portraits everydayparisian ! #parisphotographer #parisphotoshoot 2025-09-19 19:17:40 Another gorgeou.. 343 -4% 11 -75%
“But you’re good now, right?” - So many people the minute I got my full remission scans back. 🙄 Truth is, 5 years later, cancer is still very much a part of me. Even with years of remission I think about it and relive it in so many ways. Lately I’ve been falling back into black holes of the PTSD of cancer and medical trauma, hanging on to the roots that have always held me tight whenever I’ve drifted off into storms: Pyk, my family, our friends, our time together. If I were to describe myself in one word it would be: Lucky. I’m beyond lucky in my life, to have the experiences that I do, to have leaped and always found soft steady ground, to be surrounded by love and support in ways that people dream about. I got stage four cancer that was curable for goodness sake. Lucky is an understatement. Yet even with this, this year has been one of the hardest yet since going into remission. The depths of depression, trauma, and loss can still swallow you up. So this is me reminding you to take care of yourself inside and out. Mentally and physically. please book that doctors appointment and get the support you need. Ask for help if you need it (even when it’s scary). Encourage your loved ones to do the same. And most importantly during this upcoming season where we often see our loved ones, be present. Be present be present. Time is our most precious asset, enjoy the time fully with the people you love (and don’t forget to document it). #cancersurvivor #thecancerpatient #lifeafterchemo #chemo #lifeaftercancer 2025-09-19 12:33:29 “But y.. 0 -100% 0 -100%

What do they say? “If you’re going to be sad you might as well do it somewhere beautiful”. And that’s what we did this summer, from Puglia, to Gordes, to Marseilles, to Nice, to the Dolomites, to Lake Garda.. we spent weeks together as a family with people we love, surrounded by joy, beauty, and good food. We laughed and cried, we got so many ice creams, we went to every market possible, we tried milk still warm from the cow, we laughed and cried some more. We watched movies that brought us back to our childhoods and we brought Rose everywhere we went. We went to amazing places, the summer was healing… but my daughter is still dead. My heart is still broken. I can feel everything, but there’s always a layer of sadness and heartbreak. I can still feel her, smell her, see her. Every time I blink she’s right behind my eyes. Grief is just loves twin sister, right? Gosh I miss her every day, and yet somehow we live. And I’m still grateful to be here, able to feel, able to laugh with my big kids, able to love big, because while I’m here on this earth, love will always be my North Star. Documenting love and life and joy and feeling, will always be my mission, because even in the darkest of times, love is the light.

As a professional photographer of 15 years, a mom of three with a baby in heaven, a kid of a dad who died too young, a cancer survivor, as someone who left home to make a life 3000 miles away in another country… I am begging you, print your photos or work with a photographer who will. Memories are there to be seen daily, not just on your phones Lock Screen, and not stored on a computer that will break. 3 reasons why my Paris photo studio specializes in wall art: 1. I realized entire childhoods were getting lost on hard drives. Are you going to will your old iPhone to your kids? Imagine if your childhood was on floppy discs (showing my age here lol). 2. I had kids not wanting to be in photo shoots “because we never see them anyway mom, they don’t matter” - a 9 year old client. KIDS GET IT! 3. I realize this is silly AS I POST TO SOCIAL MEDIA but do you remember the feeling of going to an auntie’s house and flipping through old albums? Modern photography is so much more than disposable camera 4x6s but at least we saw them and can still touch and hold those moments. For me, tangible is best. Actively sharing the memories and putting your family and yourself as artwork on the wall is subtle way of telling them how important they are. My kids love seeing us, and seeing our family history hanging up and in albums for them to touch and comment on. When is the last time you printed your professional photos? Have you ever printed your iPhone photos? It seems like one of those projects “we’ll get to! It’s on the to do list!” And I’m guilty of it too, but it’s so so important. Your history is worth it. Hey! I’m Katie, a professional photographer in Paris, France! I have a team of amazing photographers at katiedonnellystudio and we specialize in natural and candid photo shoots in Paris (families, couples, solo!) for vacationers and locals. We turn your favorites into beautiful artwork that will make you feel joy and love every time you see it. We ship worldwide. If this sounds like something you’d might be interested in, if you have a friend coming by to Paris, we’d love if you followed along or comment here INQUIRY and I’ll send you our link to enquire! 2025-09-11 18:55:23 .. 96 -73% 10 -77%
Puglia Memories, July 2025, on film Our 5 day itinerary: First 2 nights we stayed at: LE CARRUBE - MASSERIA A OSTUNI le_carrube Day 1: Arrived in the AM at Brindisi, got our rental car and drove to Ostuni, we walked around this gorgeous all white city and had lunch, then headed to our hotel in the afternoon where we hung out poolside and had dinner at their vegetarian restaurant. Day 2: Alberobello to see the trullis and Locorontondo in the morning! Beach club in the afternoon! Chairs were 60e for two including towels. I cannot remember the name for the life of me. We had lunch there and basked in the sun. Dinner in Ostuni at Suavis Brace e Cucina Day 3: Matera and switching hotels for the next two nights! The drive to Matera was long, the city has a very interesting and sad history and looks like kings landing! Next post for day 4-5! 🫶 Save this for your Puglia trip! We can’t wait to go back. 2025-09-04 20:14:10 Puglia Memories, Jul.. 88 -75% 7 -84%
12 years in Paris as a photographer, 6 with my photo studio and man, I’ve learned A LOT 1. All of the “fun” I got into photography for (I.e. photo shoots!!! Meeting Amazing people!!) is like 10% of my job. The rest is marketing, supporting my team to create them an environment for them to thrive in, creating systems to make everything as smooth as possible for our clients, relationship building, negotiating, cleaning, updating, social media, website, client outreach, finances, innovating, research… the list goes on. I have learned to love many of these and if I don’t, I’ve learned to respect them as supporting parts of our mission: creating museum quality art for our clients that celebrates relationships. 2. Navigating a business in a non-native language and culture can be incredibly difficult AND rewarding. One of my goals when moving to France in 2013 was to learn French fluently and create a photography business that supports me creatively and financially. But when you don’t understand paperwork or can’t call the plumber because you don’t speak the language, it’s a handicap. I’ve worked so hard to learn French and the culture so I understand the words and the motivations of local clients and government. When you come from a place of wanting to understand and integrate, problems become less “personal” and just become something to solve without emotion attached. It hasn’t changed me, it’s given me more tools to understand. 3. You will make mistakes. Big ones. Small ones. Sometimes the same ones over and over again until you change. Mistakes are just part of the process, they are not an indication of failure, they’re an indication of innovation. The key is to learn and adapt quickly. There were so many years that I equated mistakes and failure (and then everyone would then believe I was a failure in life of course!!!). Once I took my fears out of the drivers seat, I started taking action EVEN THOUGH I WAS STILL SCARED and then corrected as I went. Boom, that’s when growth happened. In the end, my biggest roadblock was not the country, the industry, the language nor the culture. It was me. #parisphotographer #photographerinparis #photographerlife 2025-09-04 19:31:54 .. 0 -100% 0 -100%

When I started shooting film at 15 for years I only shot black and white film. In photography class we developed the film ourselves (shake, shake, shake, tap, tap, tap) and then delevopped the photos in a dark room (developer, stop bath, fixer, I’ll never forget these smells). I loved the process of it, the excitement of waiting, of watching the photos magically appear on the paper. In high school started my love for photography. I never would have said I wanted to be a photographer until the very end of high school. Before it was Doctor or to work at the UN as a translator (what a switch, haha). I rarely shoot black and white film now, I have a heavy preference for color and the emotions it brings but I flew through my film in Puglia earlier this July. I ran to a photo store in Matera and bought their last two rolls of film. One black and white and one color. I decided to try the black and white first and learned a lot, bringing me back to basics. I’d love to hear what you think of these!

33 spins around the sun and I’m still happy to be here. If the last few years have taught me anything is that sometimes you have to fight to be happy and sometimes you can’t help it consuming you and sometimes you can feel happy and sad at the same time and all of that is normal. This year I photographed the biggest project of my life (coming out next year 😁), I ran between joy to joy every day between the joy of work to the joy of my kids until life painfully brought me to a full stop. I was pregnant and absolutely in love with every movement and moment with my Rose until we had to say goodbye too soon. My heart broke, my body broke, it’s now mending, somehow. I’m happy and sad all the time and yet every day I laugh. There’s a garden in my heart and so much more to life I want to give while I’m here. I am blessed over and over and over again by the people in my life. I’m not really sure why life seems to shower me in so many wonderful ways but it does constantly and it’s impossible not to see it and be grateful. When life’s tragedies come into play, we have a lot of good to lean into. 33, has been everything. 34, please be gentle. 2025-07-30 19:14:38 33 s.. 321 -10% 33 -24%

Had a bit of a “self care” day yesterday and it was the first time in a long time. (TW Grief, Stillbirth) To be honest, I’ve been avoiding moments like that because when I’m alone, all I can think about is my Rose. And her in my arms and how that felt, how she smelled, how she was perfect. And how I’ll never have that again. And how much I miss her. And it spirals from there. And that’s hard. Navigating grief is impossibly complex. Being pregnant for 9 months, feeling her kicks and strong heartbeat, to being raced to the hospital in an ambulance and losing her in minutes is something I’ll never wrap my head around. In my case, there’s no “why”. There’s no reason. There was no warning. I’m just a rare case. I try not to compare losses, but it’s been especially hard when many (everyone super well meaning and genuinely trying to comfort us) mention they understand because they’ve had a miscarriage. You don’t. I don’t want you to either. I’ve had those too, unfortunately. I’ve had early ones, and ones that needed hospital interventions or a surgery. Ones that threw me into PPD and depression. I know that deep grief of what could have been, it’s horrible, but it’s a different grief when it’s a full term loss. This is not that and it doesn’t have to be to connect and share your condolences. It’s vastly different when you have to navigate your child through the heavy grief of losing a sister, when all you can do is cry with her. It’s different when you can barely walk for days because you’ve physically given birth to a full term baby just to not be able to ever hear her cry. It is different when your milk comes in, painful and leaking, searching for your baby, a baby that’s in an urn. I don’t want you to be able to understand this grief. I don’t wish this on anyone. The grief of miscarriage is big and so valid, and I’ve been there many times over the last 7 years, but this is different. And really, there’s no cure to grief, no words of condolences you can say, theres no fixing this, the only salve is love. Continued ⬇️ 2025-07-11 14:39:02 .. 646 +82% 85 +95%

Family film archives (horizontals) from April/May 2025. This might be my favorite photo of me pregnant with Rose. Taken by one of the kids on a disposable film camera. Joy amongst the mess and fatigue of life, pregnancy, motherhood, and work. Every single thing in the kitchen is out of place and open, I’m cooking, tired, and yet when I look at the kids I can’t help but smile big. I don’t remember this moment, but I hope that it’s their everyday and this is how my kids will always think of me. So many other small moments (mostly including food or books) to remember. Auguste’s birthday morning in a bubble dance party with Joe Dassin playing. Books and smoothies with Nonna. More books with Manou. Scootering with Papou. Snuggling. Birthday moments. And a sneaky scoop of confiture and birthday cake for breakfast. 2025-06-05 20:19:33 Family film arc.. 367 +3% 19 -56%
A life well lived (Family Film archives, April/May 2025) Things I want to remember: Simple weekend mornings, Siena reminding us “I’m not allowed to come in the kitchen today because you’re baking my surprise!!” And also asking for “Chocolate Cake and Candy on top” specifically for her “surprise” (haha, kids!). Having 3 egg hunts because why not. How much Auguste loves his Papou. Starting our goal for the year to bring the kids to every arrondissement and spend the day there - this weekend we went to the 1st, played in Palais Royal, and then tried the sandwich voted “best in the world”. 2025-06-05 14:13:34 A lif.. 699 +96% 48 +10%
I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much in my life as when I was pregnant. My pregnancy was so wonderfully filled with joy and creativity, it flew by because life seems to happen in fast forward when you’re deep in happiness. I want to hold fast to this joy we had together, it’s the only thing we’ll ever know, the only memories we’ll ever have while her heart beat, and for that I’m so grateful to have these photographs. A month has passed since these photos and they’re some of the last ones I have with my Rose. In our home We have two framed pieces from when I was pregnant with Siena and another with Auguste, this first photo will be up on our wall soon. The kids love seeing these and so do we. We get to relive the beautiful moments of expectation, that hasn’t changed for me when I think about being pregnant with our girl. There are no regrets, only love. I desperately wish life was different and she was here in my arms as I write this. Every pregnant person I see, every stroller, it breaks my heart thinking of what should have been but will never be. If I’ve learned anything from the last few years it’s that we have to learn to live with what cards we’re dealt even if we’d give anything to change them. So now, again, It’s up to us to decide what comes next, a fork in the road if you will. And when it’s up to us to choose our path forward, the only answer is to risk joy. Because it is there, in the end, where I’ll find my Rose too. 2025-05-13 19:14:18 .. 1,136 +219% 97 +123%
💔 We are broken in every way to share that we lost our beautiful baby girl. After an sudden and totally unpredictable pregnancy complication, our baby Rose Victoire passed away. We spent a few beautiful hours loving on her, kissing her, and bathing her before saying goodbye. Much less time than we had ever imagined. Much less than the lifetime we will never have. Rose was talked about with love long before she was in my belly. She was so wanted for so long. She was conceived in love, she was grown in love, and she will ever be a part of us. There is so much more to our story, to her story. But the foundation and pinacle of it all is and always has been love. I am deeply grateful for every moment we’ve had with her, and undeniably broken in longing for every moment we won’t. We love you, sweet perfect Rose. We will meet again in the gardens of paradise, and until then, hold you every day in our hearts. 2025-05-06 13:36:14 💔 We are broken .. 1,387 +290% 490 +1,026%
