PARIS MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER
Fine art & lifestyle maternity & newborn photography
The beginning of your baby’s life will be marked by so much change. Your little one will go from living cozily inside of you to sleeping and feeding all day long in your arms. To crawling, smiling, babbling, self-feeding, stacking blocks, and walking. And above all – filling your life with a lot of joy and playfulness.
For this reason, my approach to maternity and baby photography is to document this stage in your life from pregnancy until the first birthday. While you can book a single maternity or newborn session, my signature offering includes a collection with 4 sessions: maternity, newborn, six months, and one year.
As a Paris maternity and newborn photographer, your unique story capture will be captured in a way that is beautiful, authentic and natural.

About your fine art lifestyle maternity & newborn photographer
I am a mom of two little boys. When I was expecting my first child, I did not want posey maternity images that did not feel like my husband and me as a couple. I wanted images that captured all the joy and love we experienced during our pregnancy.
I also did not want my sweet little baby surrounded by odd, unnatural props and images that would soon look outdated. Instead, I wanted newborn photos to remember the feeling of holding my baby in my arms. The small tiny hands. I wanted genuine moments and emotions while also looking beautiful and spit-up-free!
Images with real memories attached to them.
Serving Paris & Toulouse.
I believe that babies are perfect just the way they are. And that your images are meant to show love and connection.
The Approach
I do not pose babies or include props in your newborn images. Instead, your images will capture real, genuine moments of love and connection in a natural and timeless way.
As a lifestyle Paris maternity and newborn photographer, I approach your session with a mix of natural and gentle “posing” and those real, unscripted moments. Capturing them as they naturally unfold. Resulting in a relaxing and stress-free experience.
Your final images will include a variety of portraits and storytelling/documentary photographs.
All sessions include a variety of groupings. For example, a newborn session includes: the whole family, mom and baby, dad and baby, baby and sibling (if applicable), and baby alone.
The practical details
Session duration
Outdoor and studio sessions typically last 45-60 min, and in-home sessions last 1-2 hours.
However, my approach is very relaxing with no “time pressure”. I typically stay for as long as needed to deliver an image collection with a great variety of moments. As such, breaks and in-between chats are an expected part of your maternity and newborn session. Because I want you to have a comfortable and stress-free experience.
Locations
Sessions are available in your home and outdoors (both Paris and Toulouse) and in the studio (La Busca in Toulouse). For outdoor sessions, you can choose from curated list of locations that photograph well. Typically, for maternity sessions, I recommend an outdoor session (from April-October) or in your home during the cold months. For a newborn session, the ideal place is in the comfort of your home, especially if your home has walls and decor in neutral or light tones.
What to wear
Choosing what to wear can feel like added stress when preparing for a maternity, newborn, or baby session. That’s why moms can borrow a dress from the studio wardrobe at no extra cost. You will also receive detailed guidance for coordinating outfits for all the family

It was a very nice experience, we didn’t think we could be comfortable in front of a camera, but with professionalism and simplicity Mariana knew how to make everything natural. We had fun throughout the session and we received beautiful photos in record time. I highly recommend !!! Thanks again.
