A maternity session with an older child is the last time the family is still a three. A few weeks later, they will be four.
Charlotte is expecting a second child. Nicolas is by her side. Camille, their daughter, is still an only child for a few more weeks. They trusted me with a studio maternity session — to hold on to that precise moment, just before everything changes.
A family maternity session is entirely different from a maternity session on your own. It is no longer only about the bump; it is also about the way your partner looks at that bump, and above all about the older child discovering — sometimes with curiosity, sometimes with apprehension — that they will soon no longer be on their own. That is the transition we capture in the studio: gently, without drama, with light that flatters.

in a mobile studio at home.
A mobile studio at home is particularly well suited to maternity sessions with an older child. The child stays in their familiar surroundings — their home, their landmarks, their toys within reach if they need them. We can take our time. No weather to worry about, no tiredness to dread, no journey to arrange for a mum-to-be in her eighth month — just a controlled studio set-up installed in your own home.
I work in a mobile studio at your home right across Manche, Calvados and Normandy: I arrive with backdrop and lighting, set everything up in the living room or any clear space, and I am gone an hour later. For mums-to-be who prefer a natural setting, I also offer outdoor maternity sessions — woodland, beach, garden.
Thank you to Charlotte, Nicolas and Camille for this session — and welcome to the little one to come.
