Hi, I’m Claire.

Hey hey, I’m Claire!
I am a French-American visual artist—specifically a director and photographer— with a decade in the industry now (crazy how time flies!). Currently based between Paris, France and the USA.

At 20, I left my childhood home in Washington D.C. for L.A. with no business experience and zero connections. Many years later, I’ve built a global network of creators, grown my brand from the ground up, and cultivated an audience of 45,000+ followers on various platforms. My work has led me to collaborate with world-renowned companies like Vogue, Forbes, Adidas, and Sony, and photograph personalities such as Ariana Grande, Hilary Duff, and Future, among others. These opportunities have taken me around the world—from London to Tokyo—where I’ve directed, shot, and retouched global advertising campaigns.

In 2023, after successfully establishing myself in the L.A. creative scene, I chose to return to my roots to grow my business in France, where my family is from. Today, you’ll often find me roaming the streets of Paris, camera in hand, working with influential brands and artists, particularly in the fashion and brand world. Paris, ça fait du bien d’être de retour!

I specialize in lifestyle, brand, fashion and celebrity photography, portraiture, and product content development, along with social media marketing and strategy. I also direct motion-based projects, from branded commercials to music productions. My goal is to push the boundaries of branded content—blending modern visuals with genuine human connection through both photo and video.

In 2025, I decided to start opening my books to taking weddings, a part of photography I had never dug into completely, even with having been solicited to shoot them very often, throughout the years. After shooting several weddings over the past year I fell in love with photographing the love between humans, being immortalized through sacred vows of commitment. This inspired me to launch an extension of my brand, Lady Baguette, to include weddings, particularly for those lovers who are inspired by fashion and fine art.

Outside of work, I’m an avid traveler (35+ countries and counting) and a music lover (too many concerts to count!). I am also a devout Catholic and enamored by my faith. I’m deeply driven to create meaningful, thought-provoking art that celebrates the beauty and dignity of the human person.

Fun fact: My friends call me Baguette—a nickname that stuck thanks to my Parisian roots and my Instagram handle, which eventually became part of my brand.

I’d love to be a part of your story, whether it’s personal, professional, or somewhere in between.
Send me an email and let’s create something really cool together.

À très bientôt, bisous!
