Happy New Year, dearest friends! Bonne Année from our home to yours! It is with immense gratitude that we turn toward this dawning of 2025, joyful for all that 2024 brought our way. And high on the list is our friendship with each of you, who always remain a steadfast light in our lives. As ever, we are greatly appreciative of your continued support of our work and projects. In 2025 these will include the launch of Georgianna’s new book Daffodils in March, a large coffee table retrospective book of her floral photography being compiled for release in 2026, a new Paris floral book and a projected 12-volume series of petit books of our joint Paris images, celebrating 15 years of photographing this glorious city. We so look forward to having you along for the adventures as your input and thoughts will be cherished contributions. Here’s to a remarkable year ahead — and all that we wish for ourselves and loved ones, we dearly wish for each of you. xx Georgianna and David 💕✨🥂🎉☺️
With much gratitude and love, we wish each of you joy and everything good! May magic and miracles follow you everywhere in 2025 and beyond. 💫 Georgianna and David ✨🎄💕

We have a bit of holiday decor! 🎄🎀✨ (Normally I don’t have much time in December due to book deadlines but I’m done with those for the year. Some special projects coming up!) Enjoying relaxing a bit, strolling the streets and parks, and even did a bit of ornament shopping today at @operadeparis 🩰✨☺️ We wish you the most wonderful week ahead and hope you enjoy every moment! 🎁🎀✨

For all you sugar plum fairies and lovers of 🩰and 🎀, I bring you the dreamy holiday window display at @repettoparis. Have you ever seen so much luscious pink ribbon in one place? ☺️💕 And the tutus! 💕💕💕
This year’s beautiful tree at @museerodinparis 🎄, a favorite location not only for the art but for the stunning setting. (And for it being a pleasant walk from our apartment.) Buy an advance ticket, arrive before opening and have the place mostly to yourself for a little bit. A visit here is always a treat, no matter how many times you’ve been before. 🎄✨ (p.s. apologies as not sure why my original silky-smooth videos aren’t displaying that way.)
The stunning @chanelofficial bow on Rue Saint-Honoré. During the day it appears dark gray but at night it sparkles like rich blue sapphires. 💙✨ Just one of the many wondrous displays in Paris at the moment. And none more so than the fabulous reopening of Notre Dame. 💕 Wishing each of you a festive weekend!
Angelina’s beautiful traditional holiday decor, which I captured yesterday with a lucky bicycle. This delightful Rue du Bac location, near our apartment, is a boutique, not a restaurant, but you can still take away their world-famous hot chocolate, which is what it’s all about, anyway, isn’t it? Swipe for a view of their tempting desserts. ☺️ Rue du Bac is known for its many artisan chocolate shops, decor stores and cafes, and leads straight to the Bon Marché. It’s wonderful always but especially now, festooned with twinkle lights and a festive atmosphere. ✨ Sending love from Paris! ✨💕🎄🍫 @angelina_paris
Happy December! This is the Dior display on Av Montaigne so many in Paris are talking about. I was out early this morning to capture all the beautiful details and magical surprises. The creativity and skill is breathtaking! I hope you enjoy it!✨✨✨

As requested by many of you, the golden shades of autumn in Paris, with new views and old favorites. It truly is one of the most lovely times here. Highly recommended for a slower pace, gentle walks, and glorious scenes. Best locations are Jardin du Luxembourg, the Tuileries, Montmartre, all along the Seine and the outlying parks. Hope to see you here! 🍁🍂
At home in Paris. I created several reels this summer of quiet moments in our apartment but only now getting a chance to share. The Shakespeare bust is a cherished family heirloom and a nod to my previous career path.
Bonjour! Sumptuous ceiling details and chandeliers from our Journées du Patrimoine (@jepofficiel) visits this year. We’re so happy to share them as most visitors to Paris may never have the opportunity to view these historical monuments, which are only open to the public two days each year during the Heritage Days every September.
#1 and #2 Painted ceiling detail in the ballroom, Hôtel de Clermont
#3 through #9 Various reception rooms, Assemblée Nationale
#10 through #12 Stunning reception room and grand escalier, Hôtel de Béhague, Romanian Embassy
If you’ve enjoyed these, please let us know as we have many JEP photos from many years that we’d love to share! See more @aparisianmoment
Summer’s last golden light at the Medici Fountain. Now that we are well and truly in the autumn season, I thought you might like one last look at the sherbet-flowered urns that graced the fountain in Jardin du Luxembourg this summer. To capture the moment, a few days ago I arrived as the park opened, the morning light gilding the rippling water under the canopy of trees. I’m so glad that I did as the weather has abruptly turned autumnal with heavy rain this evening. But it held off throughout this Heritage Days weekend, one of our favorites in the Parisian calendar. Both days we visited remarkable properties that are normally closed to the public. We’ll share in the days to come all these many more reasons to keep falling in love with Paris. Wishing you a beautiful new week.
Favorite views from my favorite time of year at Jardin du Luxembourg, when the urns are overflowing with magenta blooms and the oleanders add their dollops of pink, creating a second spring. They can be enjoyed for a few more weeks before being replaced with the annual autumn-themed florals. I hope you are all well and that the week ahead is positive and joyful. 💕 Love from Paris xx
Favorite café in Paris 💕🥐☕️ Always open and great service ☺️😉 And from this vantage we’ve seen the flame relay, and men’s and women’s cycle time trials. 🚴♂️🚴 A few blocks walk from here we’ve had the Triathlons and cycle races pass right by. 🏃🏻♀️🏃Definitely an unexpected perk. If only we could have added the 🏇jumping but that was perfection against the backdrop of Versailles. Bonne journée!
Bonjour, mes chers amis! Well, it’s been quite a week. Have been watching several races right from the balcony. 😎 I’m sure you’re getting plenty of amazing coverage that I can’t improve upon so here’s a petite pause in the form of beautiful white roses. Breathe deeply ☺️ And another week to come! 🇫🇷🎉🥇🏇🏊♂️🏃🏻♀️
A magical rose garden just outside of Paris. If you are here for the Olympics, this is a lovely afternoon outing in between events. Or anytime the roses are blooming from May to September. It is very quiet in my neighborhood these days, with most streets to the river now blocked in anticipation of the Opening Ceremonies. But everything is in place and the athletes have begun arriving. Paris is ready to welcome the world! 💕🇫🇷🌹
Surprise! I’ve been busy behind the scenes and a bit quiet this spring and summer as I have finished two new books! Here is the reveal of the first one, Chrysanthemums. Swipe through for a tour. It releases on July 23 in the US and August 15th internationally. Preorder info and stockists at the link in my profile. Huge gratitude to my publishers @pavilionbooks @harpercollinsuk @gibbssmithbooks and my co-author @naomisladegardening as well as the many people who helped make it possible including dear friend @floresie and the ladies at @harmonyhrvst and friends @dekkerchrysanten
Monthly download (first image) and a collection of roses for you! (To receive the download, just make sure you are signed up for my mailing list at the link in profile and it will be sent in the next newsletter.) These images span years and continents but all with the same purpose — to share the beauty of roses and brighten your day 💕💕💕 Love from Paris 🌸☺️
Bonjour! A pretty peony bouquet from an earlier shoot on one of our balconies. I’m just starting to catch up with the season and blissfully looking ahead at a summer with no deadlines. Not going to let it slip away! How are your summer plans shaping up? Love to you, my dears, from Paris 💕💕💕
Never enough, right? ☺️💕 Well, my friends, it’s been a crazy few weeks but I’m happy to report that Book #12 has now been submitted to my publisher, and on time! 🎉 Release date next spring. 😀 And the first copies of Book #11 arrived this afternoon! It releases next month and I will share the cover and some sneak peeks and preorder info here later this week but if you can’t wait, head over to my journal (link in profile) where I’ve posted the cover and some interior spreads! Whew! And I still managed some early morning trips to the market so have more peony images, if you can bear it. ☺️ 💕 much love and thank you for being here.
Peony season is well upon us and the towering mounds of fresh blooms are overflowing the stalls at the Paris markets! Prices are dropping from the high rates in late April and discounts are offered when you buy multiple bunches, as I tend to do. 😄 I also love to arrive early and watch the vendors skillfully create these impressive displays. In a few hours, they dwindle down but what a sight until then. I list the market schedule in my book Paris in Bloom, but you can’t go wrong with Bastille, President Wilson and Marché Maubert. And I have numerous posts in my journal on Paris peonies (link in my profile) and dozens of prints in my shop and at @aparisianmoment. Enjoy! 💕☺️
Roses at the Jardin du Palais Royal are at their glorious peak this week. A precious time on the annual floral calendar for me, and many others. If you are in the city this week run, don’t walk, to witness this exceptional beauty. I’ve included some long videos so that you can feel like you are walking along the paths. I have so much more to share so we’ll have to do a second post. More in stories also. Thank you so much for being here!
The many shades of lilacs, including blue, pink, yellow, white and mauve, as well as every hue of purple. “Lilacs” is one of my favorite books I’ve done (working on my 12th now) and you can peruse inside it on the last slide here. As always, I am incredibly grateful and appreciative to of all you lovely people who purchase, enjoy and generously share my books. They are all created for you! xx💜💜💜 Details of all my books at the link in my profile. p.s. new titles coming in July and January! ☺️ 📚
Happy May Day! Joyeux Fête du Muguet! A favorite day annually in France. On this day, it is a tradition to present friends and loved ones with a small bouquet of Lily of the Valley as an expression of good fortune and affection. On this day, all over Paris, florists and street vendors sell sprigs, bouquets and potted plants. All around the city, one can witness charming scenes of the flowers being purchased and lovingly presented by people of all ages. Kind volunteers from The Red Cross are also out with their own booths (see stories.) Here are some favorite images taken throughout the years, with bundles cut from our former garden, where it grew wild, and displays on the mantel and my desk here in Paris. Wishing you a day of flowers, love, luck and happiness. 🌿🤍🌱☺️
