A few months ago, we had the chance to cross paths with photographer and stylist Aurélie Lécuyer. She creates a poetic and minimalist universe that deeply touches and nourishes us. Her personal story is very inspiring and opens us to new horizons. She agreed to tell us about her new, freer, slower lifestyle and to reveal her Wild Side.

What was the trigger that made you change your life?

The birth of my first child. And the birth of the following ones only reinforced this change, which began gradually.

How would you describe your new lifestyle?

Closer to nature, to the seasons, simpler, more fundamental, with fewer needs too. A bit of a hermit's life sometimes, which suits me well.

What makes you happy today?

To cross the nearby forest, and walk to the sea, sometimes alone, or with family. To walk, breathe, and contemplate.

What's your wild side?

To follow my instinct, that little inner voice that is sometimes buried, to know how to hear it, learn to listen to it more and let myself be guided.

Do you have any advice for those who would like to take the plunge?

Listen to your basic needs and realize that everything else will eventually become superfluous, with a few steps back. Refocus on what's essential.

Thank you so much Aurélie for sharing your story with us.
