Time spent working on this report: 12 hours

There are moments in a Provence photographer's life that remind you of the deep meaning of this profession. What an immense privilege to reunite with Maecha and Eliot!

fter having the honor of immortalizing their beautiful wedding in 2025,, it was with great emotion that I joined them this Tuesday late afternoon. The goal? To capture the next big step in their lives: as they await the arrival of their first child maternity session.. This is where my true approach lies: becoming the trusted photographer who documents your family legacy, year after year.

Taming the light at the foot of the mountain

For this session, we headed to the majestic Sainte-Victoire mountain,near the famous "magic tree" of Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon.An exceptional natural setting for a moment that is just as special.

We started the session under a still very strong light.Far from ideal, this harsh light is unforgiving and requires real technique to avoid unflattering shadows. The challenge was to tame it to sculpt the faces and highlight the maternity curves with elegance. Then, as the sun began to set and soften, I deployed my studio flashes..

The idea? To create sophisticated and contrasted moods, for a resolutely artistic result..

An unexpected touch from the sky 

If the setting was already grandiose, the session took a totally unexpected turn.

TheDragon 13 helicopter of the Civil Security invited itself into our scenery. The crew performed several landings just a few dozen meters from our photo set. One of the crew members, literally leaning out of the helicopter in flight through the wide-open door, even took the time to wave at us!

Faced with this surreal situation, we found it so funny that we decided to integrate itdirectly into the shoot! The opportunity was just too good. My approach is also this: offering you an elegant artistic direction for your portraits, while keeping the reactivity needed to capture these unique, funny, and spontaneous moments that will make your album truly different from the others.

A huge thank you to Maecha and Eliot for their loyalty, their trust... and their laughter!
