Whether this is your first or you sixth child (in which case, wow, kudos to you!), every pregnancy is different and worth remembering with a maternity photo shoot. It can be as glamorous or casual as you want. As a photographer in Paris and a mother myself, I know that maternity sessions are a different kind of photo shoot, ones that need combine beauty and comfort! I’m dedicated to working closely with you to select a location, wardrobe, and style that will make you feel confident and beautiful.

What’s my style?
Maybe this is your first time looking for a Paris maternity photographer or maybe you’ve already had maternity photo shoot before and you’ve seen different styles. Photography style is more than just the final photos – it’s about the experience itself, making sure that you feel beautiful, relaxed and comfortable!
If you need to take a break, grab a snack or just change shoes (because we’ve all overestimated our ability to wear cute high heels with swollen feet), there’s plenty of time! I plan maternity photo sessions so that there’s absolutely no rushing.
Types of Maternity Sessions

Outdoor Session
The historic streets of Paris are a perfect backdrop to your maternity session. We can do photos at popular locations like the Eiffel Tower, Tuillerie Gardens or the Louvre, or if you already live here, we can go to your neighbourhood park that has a special meaning for you. Don’t worry, we won’t be running around Paris – we’ll go at your pace and for longer distances, the taxi is covered by me.

Indoor Session
Wearing a dramatic flowing maternity gown by the Eiffel Tower isn’t for everyone. Sometimes you just want to have a simple and cosy session at home where you’re most comfortable. These kind of sessions are great for getting more candid moments, especially between the couple.

Let’s get in touch
When is the best time to do a maternity session?
The sweet spot is usually between 28 and 34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round but you’re still comfortable enough to move around and enjoy the session. Every pregnancy is different though, so we can be flexible around how you’re feeling. If 32 to 36 weeks works better for you, that’s fine too. Just let me know where you’re at and we’ll find the right timing.
Where do maternity sessions take place?
We can shoot at beautiful Paris locations like Luxembourg Gardens, Palais Royal, or along the Seine, where the architecture and light are wonderful. I also offer at-home sessions for something more intimate and personal. If there’s a spot in Paris that’s meaningful to you, I’m very open to that too. The location should feel connected to you, not just be a pretty backdrop.
What should I wear for a maternity session?
Flowy dresses and wrap styles tend to photograph beautifully and are flattering at this stage of pregnancy. Soft, neutral tones work well against most Paris backgrounds. Avoid anything too tight or restrictive. Many women choose one dressed-up outfit and one more casual look for variety. I’m happy to look over your options before the session and give you my honest take on what will photograph best.
Can my partner or other children join the session?
Absolutely. Most maternity sessions include couple portraits and family moments, and it makes for a much richer gallery. If you have older children who want to be part of it, that’s wonderful. We can mix individual maternity portraits with family shots throughout the session. Just let me know who’ll be joining at booking so I can plan the timing and flow accordingly.
How long is a maternity session?
Typically between one and 2 hours, which is enough time for a couple of locations and an outfit change if you’d like. I try not to make maternity sessions too long because comfort is important, especially later in pregnancy. If you’d prefer to keep it shorter and more relaxed, that’s completely fine. We’ll move at whatever pace feels good for you on the day.
