One hour on a wide open beach, with the children barefoot and nobody asked to say cheese. I photograph families all along this coast, Omaha Beach included.
The session, then the photographs you keep — or a package that brings both together.
Every package includes the shoot, the retouching and a private online gallery, delivered within 15 days. Enlargements, prints and albums remain optional. Every package is also available as a gift card — the amount never appears on it.
Tell me what you have in mind — the kind of session, the place, the date. I reply within 48 hours.
This is the base price if you would rather not decide anything in advance. It covers the time spent photographing and the retouching of the files. You then choose, à la carte, only what you want to keep — digital files, album or prints.
Travel: free within 30 km of Saint-Lô, then a flat fee based on distance: €40 up to 60 km, €90 up to 120 km, €150 up to 200 km, €250 up to 300 km, then €500 including the drive and accommodation. Always confirmed before you book. For a session at home, allow a space of about 3 × 5 m.
Need more time? The session can run to 1h30 for + €45, or to 2 hours for + €79. This applies to the packages above too. Beyond 2 hours, contact me for a quote.
Files are delivered retouched, in high resolution, in a private online gallery, within 15 days.
The session fee (€79) is paid when you book; travel costs in a single payment. Prints, albums and mounts are listed on the portrait page.
The Normandy coast gives you what a studio never will: space, wind, tide lines, and light that changes every ten minutes. Children stop performing because there is simply too much to do.
I was born here and I photograph here all year round. I don't discover these places with you — I bring you to them at the hour they are at their best, which on this coast means checking the tide before anything else.
Wide, open and quiet outside the summer peak. Many families visiting Normandy come here for reasons that matter to them — and leave with a portrait of themselves in that place.
Around Bayeux, Arromanches and Port-en-Bessin: long sands, low dunes, harbours. Ten minutes from where most families stay.
The boardwalk, the parasols, the wooden beach huts. The most French-looking beach on this coast, and the easiest for a short session.
Empty dunes and marram grass from Gouville to Barneville. If you want no one else in the frame, this is where we go.
The abbey on the horizon, the tide running out for miles. Strictly timed — the bay decides the hour, not us.
Send me your dates and where you will be staying. I check the tide and the light, and propose an hour and a beach — usually within a short drive of your hotel or rental.
About an hour on the sand. I set things in motion and then step back. Children run, throw sand, get their feet wet. Almost nothing is posed.
Your retouched photographs arrive in a private online gallery. You download them from anywhere in the world — nothing to carry home in a suitcase.
A selection from my portrait and family sessions. The full story of one session at Omaha Beach — a mom and her two kids — is on the blog.
Individual, couple and professional portraits across Normandy, outdoors or at home.
The closest town to Omaha Beach, and where most visiting families stay.
The boardwalk, the parasols and the beach huts, an hour along the coast.
An intimate wedding for two, on the same coast.
I reply within 48 hours, in English, with an hour and a beach that fit your trip and the tide. No deposit is taken before we have agreed on all of it.
