Paris Is For Lovers || Paris En Amoureux

Hello, my friends! I’m jumping for joy and love for this week’s post! We’re deep into the holiday season at the Cheesemonger household, but we just got our 10th anniversary photos back, and I LOVE THEM. When M. Cheesemonger and I were in France in October, we were there to celebrate a couple things: 1) M. Cheesemonger’s birthday, and 2) our 10th anniversary. M. Cheesemonger got the tech guy/board game birthday weekend of tartiflette, raclette, and beer that he wanted. So when it came to our 10th anniversary, it was my turn to plan. I knew I wanted to have a photo session in Paris, one full of love, light, and romance, so went all out. The result, I must say, was nearly as perfect as our past 10 years have been!

Miss Cheesemonger, the blog and the person, would not be possible were it not for M. Cheesemonger. He tolerates my endless food photographing, photo editing, and blog-writing sessions. He loves cooking for others, so I am well nourished. He takes care of me when I’m not well (Remember when I aspirated some bread a couple years ago, and was bedridden for a week? M. Cheesemonger does!) He has supported me from one career path to another. Thanks to his IT training, he is the person who makes sure this website works for all of you! Who would have guessed when we met in Normandy 10 years ago that today, we’d be building a blog full of cheese in San Francisco?

For the photo session, I knew we had to work with Céline Chhuon. I had discovered her on Instagram several months before, and fell head over heels for her ethereal style and hybrid film/digital shooting. When she announced that she was holding autumn photo sessions in Paris while we were in town, I pounced on the chance. Céline recommended Charles Gillman Cosmetics and Ciara Coiffure for my hair and makeup, citing their understated style and chic aesthetic sense. An added bonus for those who do not speak French—Charles, Ciara, and Céline are all Anglophone!

When we met Charles, Ciara, and Céline, the day was warm, the light was dreamy, and the trees were in full autumn color. Thank you, Charles, Ciara, and Céline, for making this day absolutely magical. Thank you, M. Cheesemonger, for being you, and for loving me!

Bonjour mes amis ! Je saute de joie et d’amour pour cet article ! On est bien dans la période des fêtes de fin d’année, mais nous venons de recevoir les clichés de notre séance photos parisienne et JE LES ADORE. Quand on était en France en octobre, c’était pour fêter deux choses : 1) l’anniversaire de M. Cheesemonger et 2) nos 10 ans ensemble. M. Cheesemonger a eu le week-end de fêtes qu’il voulait avec des jeux de plateaux, de la tartiflette, de la raclette et plein de bière avec ses copains. Donc quand il s’agissait de notre 10ème anniversaire, je savais que je voulais une séance photos à Paris romantique et lumineuse. Je me suis éclatée et j’avoue que le résultat est presque aussi parfait que les 10 dernières années !

Miss Cheesemonger, le blog et la personne, n’existerait pas sans M. Cheesemonger. Il supporte toutes mes séances de photographie, de traitement des photos et d’écriture pour le blog. Il adore cuisiner pour les autres, donc je suis bien nourrie. Il prend soin de moi quand je ne vais pas bien (est-ce que vous vous souvenez de quand j’ai aspiré du pain il y a deux ans, et ne pouvais pas quitter mon lit pendant une semaine ? M. Cheesemonger s’en souvient !) Il m’a soutenue à lors de mes changements de carrière. Grâce à sa formation en informatique, il fait tourner ce site web pour vous ! Qui aurait deviné quand on s’est rencontrés en Normandie qu’aujourd’hui, nous gérions un blog plein de fromage à San Francisco ?

Pour la séance photos, je voulais absolument travailler avec Céline Chhuon. Je l’avais découverte sur Instagram quelques mois auparavant et j’ai adoré son style éphémère et sa méthode de photographier en argentique et en numérique. Lorsqu’elle a annoncé qu’elle offrait des mini-séances sur Paris le week-end où on était là, j’ai sauté sur l’occasion. Céline m’a conseillé Charles Gilman Cosmetics et Ciara Coiffure pour faire mon maquillage et coiffure, citant leur style restreint et chic. Un plus pour ceux qui ne sont pas francophones: ils sont tous les trois anglophones.

Le jour où on a rencontré Charles, Ciara et Céline, il faisait chaud, la lumière était parfaite et les arbres en couleurs d’automne étaient resplendissants ! Merci à Charles, Ciara et Céline d’avoir rendu cette journée absolument magique. Merci, M. Cheesemonger, d’être toi et de m’aimer tellement ! Je t’aime de tout mon cœur !
