pregnancy photo shoot clermont ferrand

Looking for a pregnancy photographer in Clermont-Ferrand for images with character? Forget traditional studio shots. My approach is both documentary and artistic: I play with the softness of natural light as much as with graphic shadows or creative flashes. Whether in the middle of the day or at dusk, I transform your maternity into a series of strong, personal images.

Pregnancy photographer in Clermont-Ferrand: a "Cinema" aesthetic

I guide you, you live the moment

A powerful image doesn't just fall from the sky, it has to be created. Unlike traditional reportage, where you wait for the moment to present itself, here I create it with you. I choose the setting, position you in relation to the light and guide you precisely in your attitudes. It's this clear direction that guarantees the result: intense memories of your own life. pregnancyThey seem to be taken from life, but every detail is mastered.

My signature: the "Cinema" portrait

That's what sets me apart. I continue to create even when natural light is scarce. With precise flash control, I sculpt your silhouette for a dramatic, nocturnal ambience. It's a timeless image...

Where can you have your maternity session in Clermont-Ferrand and the Puy-de-Dôme?

In town: Clermont's parks and streets

No need to travel miles. The city center offers some great settings if you know where to look. You can meet up at Jardin Lecoq or go up to Montjuzet Park for the view of the Cathedral. If you like the city side of things, you can simply walk through the streets of old Clermont. It's perfect for lively, graphic photos.

Nature: volcanoes and lakes

If you're looking for fresh air, we can get you out of the city. I like the area around the Lake Servières orAydatespecially in the evening light. If you're tempted, I've put together a practical guide with directions for preparing your session at Lac de Servières. And even if it's cold, the result is often top-notch, as I explain in my tips for a perfect look. outdoor pregnancy session in winter.

At home: in the comfort of your own home

It's often the easiest thing for you to do at the end of your pregnancy. I come directly to your home with my equipment. The idea is not to turn your living room into a studio, but to use the light from your windows to make spontaneous portraits, right in your decor. To see how it's done, take a look at my guide to home pregnancy sessions in Clermont-Ferrand.

FAQ

How to dress?

Wear what you like! Ideally, avoid large prints on your belly. Go for plain outfits in pastel colors, and be coordinated if you're coming as a couple or with your family. You can even take a second outfit if you feel like it.

I don't lend out maternity dresses, because I want each session to be unique. I prefer each pregnant woman to come with a dress or outfit of her own choosing.

Absolutely not. Even if my photos are very polished, I guide you entirely through the action. I don't ask you to freeze a smile, I place you in the light and make you move. The flash freezes the movement, which allows you to retain spontaneity even in a very constructed photo.
