Whether you’re just picking up the camera or looking to refine your artistic voice, I’m here to guide you with heart, honesty, and real-world experience.
I’m Eugénie Smirnova — lifestyle photographer based in Toulouse, France and mentor to creatives who want to build meaningful, soulful photography businesses.
Through one-on-one consultations and online courses, I help photographers like you:
• Find clarity in your creative direction
• Build a strong, emotion-driven portfolio
• Master natural light and storytelling
• Create authentic client experiences
• Understand pricing, workflow, and mindset as a business ownerI’ve made the mistakes, taken the detours — and now I share the map. You don’t need a big studio, a huge following, or perfect gear. You just need your eyes, your heart, and the right support.
I know what it’s like to start from scratch. I moved to France without connections, without clients — just a camera and a passion.In a completely new country, I built my photography business from the ground up. Slowly, intentionally, and with a focus on real connection.
Now I’m here to share everything I’ve learned with you.
