Carla Coulson Portrait Shoot, Cafe Saint Regis

Photo by Carla Coulson

Last trip in Paris I got 'Funny Faced' by Australian fashion photographer, Carla Coulson.

Do you dream of a portrait in Paris? Your own private shoot in a chic Parisian cafe, on a bridge, the Eiffel Tower, shot at night on a cobblestone street, you name it. That's what Carla offers with ambience and glamour 

This is Team Muse. Photographer Carla on the right with her expert hair/makeup/maquilleuse, Veronique Marot on the left. They showed up at 8am to make magic. I'll never be the same again. 

Veronique has endless tricks from doing runway shows and print ads.

Vero does hair too

My lips will never be the same since Veronique introduced me to MAC Russian Red. I fought it but gave in happily in the end.

Off we go to the 1st shoot setting, 

Cafe Saint Regis, Ile St. Louis 6, rue Jean du Bellay 75004, a place loaded with Parisian atmosphere and ambience bla bla.

I ordered Champagne for courage. The waiter was happy to participate.

Bring appropriate props to your shoot with Carla.

Mine was bags & bags of French macarons. You have to keep your photographer and makeup artist well-fed and happy.

A huge bouquet of roses to Carla Coulson and Veronique Marot for making me feel S'Marvelous. As if I'd walked straight out of  Funny Face. I'm still feeling the afterglow. I have MAC's Russian red lips to prove it. Carla will make you look and feel S'Wonderful next visit. Give yourself the best gift ever.
