Keeping a trace of the first connections, from pregnancy to the first months
Waiting • Transition • Transformation • First moments • Bonds forming • Transmission
Motherhood is an intense period that is often difficult to fully grasp in the moment. Everything changes quickly, reference points shift, and daily life transforms almost without warning.
A lot is happening, yet we rarely take the time to truly look at it.
These images are there to keep a trace of this transition. Of what you feel, of what is forming, of what gradually becomes your new normal.
You leave with tangible memories of this time: images that tell the story of connections, everyday gestures, and those small details we sometimes forget too quickly but that gain their full value over time.
Photos to accompany every stage of motherhood
From pregnancy to the first days, from the first months to the first year, these sessions are designed to preserve what you are experiencing at each stage, without staging or expectations.
During the session, I adapt to your rhythm and that of your baby. The moment unfolds in a calm and gentle atmosphere, leaving space for simple gestures, glances and the details of your new daily life.
Pregnancy
Gentleness, intimacy, a moment for yourself
Give yourself a pause, a moment to reconnect with yourself and the magic of your transforming body. This photo session is an intimate journey, a suspended moment where time slows down so you can fully feel what you are experiencing. Together, we create a setting designed for you, where you can simply be yourself, feel at ease and serene, while each image captures the essence of this unique period. This session can be done alone or as a couple.

Birth
First days of life
Whether at the hospital, in a birth centre or already at home, you may wish to capture the first precious moments with your baby. It is in this special environment, often filled with emotions, that everything begins. The first time you hold them in your arms, the first caresses, these first silent moments of connection… These moments are captured with discretion and care, respecting your space and your bubble, to reveal the tenderness and magic of this encounter.

First weeks
The first weeks with your baby pass by very quickly, each day bringing discoveries and first times. Every smile, every look, every little gesture becomes a memory to treasure. At home, in this place full of softness where everything begins, these unique moments take on their full meaning. The images tell the emotion as it is lived, in the simplicity of your daily life and the tenderness of your first bonds.

First months
The first months are made of small changes and big milestones. The first bursts of joy, the first purées, the first movements… so many intimate and spontaneous moments worth preserving. In the daily life of your home, where rituals and first connections grow, each moment can become a memory to relive. Honest, natural images that reflect what you share together.

First birthday
Your baby’s first birthday is a very special moment, a turning point in their development. It is the occasion to celebrate together as a family and remember everything your child has experienced and achieved during their first year. A pause in time to capture the joy of this first birthday and preserve the authenticity of this moment. It is a celebration of their life, but also of everything you have experienced together as a family, in your home and daily life.

Each session works in this way
01
Before the session
We talk together to choose the session that suits you according to the stage you wish to photograph: pregnancy, birth or the first months. We discuss your wishes, your daily life and the setting where you will feel most comfortable.
02
During the session
The session unfolds at your pace, and that of your baby if they are already here. I adapt to what happens in the moment: breaks, needs, movements, the unexpected. There is nothing to succeed at, no poses to hold. I gently guide you while leaving space for simple gestures, glances and the details of your new daily life.
03
After the session
I carefully select and edit the images in a natural and luminous style. You receive a link to an online gallery to discover your photos and keep them easily. It is also possible to order prints and albums.

Taking the time to remember what changes too quickly
Pregnancy, birth, the first year… Each stage is precious, and yet fleeting. These images are not only for today. They are for later. So that your child may one day see where they come from, feel the care, gentleness and love that already existed before their birth and during their first moments of life. Keeping a trace to remember and to pass on.
An experience to live, beyond the images
For pregnant women who wish to experience a mama blessing, or for young parents who choose to offer their newborn an energetic bath ritual, it is possible to imagine an experience combining photography and this lived moment.
These moments are created in collaboration with two talented women:
Lélia Materne, doula and parental support guide, for the mama blessing, and Clémentine from Glow Vibes by Clémentine for the energetic bath.
Both are attentive and caring professionals in their approach.
My photography then serves to keep a faithful trace of these moments without interrupting them.
If this approach resonates with you and you would like to know more, feel free to contact me so we can talk about it together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my baby cries?
Crying is part of the reality of these first moments. We take the time needed, pause if necessary and adapt to what is happening. The session follows your baby’s rhythm, without pressure or expectations.
What if my baby needs to eat or sleep during the session?
That is completely normal. The session is organised around your baby’s needs: feeding, sleeping and breaks. These moments are part of your new daily life and can also be photographed if you wish.
I don’t feel well enough or beautiful enough.
This feeling is very common during this period. The goal is not to match an idealised image, but to keep a faithful memory of what you are experiencing. The session takes place in a calm and respectful atmosphere, focusing on the bonds, gestures and moments you share, without any expectation to “look perfect”.
When is the best time to schedule a maternity session?
There is no single perfect moment. The session can take place during pregnancy, in the first days after birth, or later during the first year. If you are unsure, we can of course talk about it during a call to see together what suits you best, depending on your situation and how you feel.
Do I need to prepare anything before the session?
Nothing in particular. The session is designed to adapt to your reality as it is. If you wish, you can simply clear the spaces where the session will take place, such as rooms near windows or the baby’s room, to make movement and photography easier.
It is not about perfectly tidying everything, but simply about creating a bit of space so the moment can unfold comfortably.
Can siblings be present?
Yes. Siblings are fully part of this period and of your new daily life. They are very welcome during the session.
How long does a maternity session last?
The session usually lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes. This duration allows enough time to move at a comfortable pace, take breaks if needed and adapt to everyone’s rhythm without rushing. In the case of a session at the hospital, the duration is shorter, between 30 minutes and 1 hour, in order to respect the rules of the place, rest times and possible visits from family or medical staff.
