Hi! My name is Karissa Van Tassel and I am a passionate photographer, focusing on helping my clients create and capture a lifetime of beautiful moments. I have lived in Paris five times throughout my life, and have visited more than 20 times in between. As the saying goes, America is my country and Paris is my hometown. I am thrilled to share with you what I've learned through the years as a Francophile, a traveler, a mom and an explorer. I hope these tips resonate with you and help you create a Parisian experience all your own.
