How does nature inspire your work as a photographer and your daily life with your family?

Nature is an integral part of our daily lives.

Our house is small, and the environment surrounding it truly constitutes our garden, a living space in its own right. We are surrounded by a wood, a hill, a loch, and a meadow.

Since our arrival, our lives have been deeply influenced by the seasons and the length of the days. Having the farm on our doorstep immerses us in the year's recurring tasks, such as shearing the sheep or lambing.

Photography helps me slow down and focus on the present moment. It's a real therapy for me, a break from my often project-filled daily life. It forces me to stop, appreciate the little things, and give them the space they deserve.

How do you manage to balance your life as a mother of four children and your passion for photography?

The line between my professional and personal life is quite blurred.

My daughters are my muses, my inspiration. Their curiosity, their pure innocence, amaze me. They are in the moment, an example we could all follow.

I need to be well organized so as not to be overwhelmed by daily life, but we have found a good system for distributing tasks.

What touched you in the universe of Ma Cabane À Rêves ?

I really liked the aesthetics of Ma Cabane À Rêves, but what I appreciate even more is its ability to adapt to all ages.

In our house, everything has to have multiple uses. We pay close attention to what we bring into it and empty it regularly, even if, let's face it, there's always a bit of clutter.

I see this educational tool evolving with my daughters for years to come.

How do your children use our products? Do you have a funny story to share?

The whiteboard and the dress-up mouse are used almost every day.

I hung them in a central place in the house, a passageway.

My daughters often like to change the mouse's outfit or draw accessories.

My youngest, at two, recreates scenes from everyday life, and it's fascinating to see her interpretation of our world!

Do our products align with your vision of free play and creativity for your children?

Absolutely! It's a game that's really open to creativity and interpretation.

Besides, my four children use it in different ways.

There's no exact method, no right or wrong way to do it, and that's what's great about it.

There are no imposed rules, which allows their self-confidence to grow independently.

What is your favorite moment to photograph with your family?

My favorite moments are the ones we don't necessarily notice: those little everyday things that seem insignificant, but are infinitely beautiful.

If you had to describe Ma Cabane À Rêves In three words, which would you choose?

Accessible, simple, creative.

Do you have any little tips for adding a little more creativity and magic to everyday family life?

I love involving my children in everything.

I'm a real jack-of-all-trades, and every new project is an opportunity to ask them if they're interested in trying it too.

I let them do it their way, because I firmly believe that making mistakes is part of the learning process and helps develop resilience.

What do you think of our new Magnetic Stationery? We'd love to hear your feedback!

I also use the calendar for my teenager and his schedule.

She loves it! It's graphic and easy to read.

With six people in the house, we have multiple calendars, both paper and digital, and they're often quite full.

And finally, a little word of love for Ma Cabane À Rêves ? 😊

I knew my kids would love it, but they're even more thrilled than I expected.
