How does nature inspire your work as a photographer and your daily family life?
Nature is an integral part of our daily lives.
Our house is small, and the surrounding environment is truly our garden, a living space in its own right. We are surrounded by woods, a hill, a loch, and a meadow.
Since our arrival, our lives have been deeply shaped by the seasons and the length of the days. Having the farm on our doorstep immerses us in the recurring tasks of the year, such as sheep shearing or lambing.
Photography helps me slow down and focus on the present moment. It's real therapy for me, a break from my daily life often filled with projects. It forces me to stop, appreciate the small things, and give them the place they deserve.
How do you manage to balance being a mom to four kids with your passion for photography?
The line between my professional and personal life is quite blurry.
My daughters are my muses, my inspiration. Their curiosity, their pure innocence, amaze me. They live in the present moment, an example we could all follow.
I need to be well-organized to avoid being overwhelmed by daily life, but we've found a good system for dividing tasks.
What touched you about Ma Cabane À Rêves’ world?
I loved the aesthetic of Ma Cabane À Rêves, but what I appreciate even more is its ability to adapt to all ages.
In our home, everything must have multiple uses. We are very careful about what we bring in and regularly declutter, 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? Is there a funny anecdote to share?
The whiteboard and the dress-up mouse are used almost every day.
I hung them in a central, high-traffic area of the house.
My daughters often enjoy changing the mouse's outfit or drawing accessories.
My youngest, at two years old, recreates scenes from daily 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 truly open to creativity and interpretation.
In fact, 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.
There are no imposed rules, which allows their self-confidence to grow independently.
What's your favorite family photo moment?
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 bit more creativity and magic to daily 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'd like to try it too.
I let them do things their own 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're curious to hear your opinion!
I also use the calendar for my teenager and her schedule.
She loves it! It's visual and easy to read.
With six people at home, we have several calendars, both paper and digital, and they are often quite full.
And finally, a little love note for Ma Cabane À Rêves? 😊
Keep up the good work!
I knew my children would love them, but they are even more thrilled than I had imagined.
Well done!
Thanks, Nina!
