BEHIND THE LENS
ABOUT CLAIRE
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Growing up, I spent hours immersed in my family’s old photographs, listening to the stories that wove even deeper richness into every frame. Those images—both from before I was born and from my own childhood—became a bridge to forgotten parts of myself, rekindling my love for who I am and deepening my connection to my family. Stories evolve with each retelling, but images remain, carrying an essence that resonates through time—echoing gently in the threads of memory where future generations will find us, and where we often rediscover ourselves. That’s why I’m so passionate about creating these timeless images for you and your loved ones—not just to capture a moment, but to preserve the spirit of who you are, for today and the future.
