Photographs become more valuable with time,

 

because they remind us who we were. They bring back forgotten conversations, familiar expressions, favourite outfits, and the people we love most.

Hi, I am Ruby Goddard-Watts

English portrait photographer in Paris

 

Creating personal and genuine portraits for couples and families. My education in photojournalism, at Spèos shaped the way I see photography. Instead of photographing a staged narrative, I believe in creating photos that are undeniably you. Images that reflect your identity, your relationships, and the small details that make you who you are. The kind of photographs that make you smile and say, “That’s me” or “That’s us.”

This was my first-ever photoshoot, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ruby! Thanks to her direction, I honestly look like a model in so many of the photos! Ruby has an incredible talent and a warm, welcoming approach. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting stunning, professional photos and an unforgettable experience.

Could not have found someone kinder than Ruby. Aside from taking some amazing pictures of the proposal, she helped me with the location, time and other details necessary to have a memorable proposal. My fiancé and I really enjoyed working with Ruby!

Ruby conveniently met us at a nearby café with our dogs so that we would quickly be able to get to the place we wanted to get our photo shoot done at. Throughout the photo shoot Ruby was very nice and friendly with us and the dogs and did a great job at capturing every moment.

I booked to do a shoot with Ruby when I travelled to Paris for a few days and wow wow WOW she was brilliant! Not only is she professional, efficient and a talented photographer but she’s so friendly and smiley and brought an amazing energy to the shoot! I’m very camera shy and needed a lot of direction to feel comfortable and she immediately made me feel at ease and Highly recommend booking with her for your next shoot in Paris!
