Yes, I first do selection work, to keep only the best images from the session. Then I retouch the photos you have selected.
I decide on the treatment given to the photos, no request for modification will be accepted because it is my artistic identity. If you have decided to trust me, it is because you like my photos.
The photos are then sent to you for final receipt via Wetransfert, in high definition JPEG format and without logo.
Please do not modify my work (filter, Photoshop, etc.). Modification of processing is strictly prohibited. After modification, the photo will no longer reflect my work and therefore my identity.
What are the payment methods
Accepted payment methods are as follows: Transfer, Venmo, Zelle
For booking your session a deposit (40% of the desired session) will be asked to validate and block your date.</span
This deposit is not refundable, for any reason. The remaining balance must be paid before the session.
How is the selection of photos done?
During the session I don't count the time or the number of photos. When the session is over, I carefully sort and select the best photos.
I will send you a gallery, protected by a password, in which you will have the possibility to choose your photos, according to the chosen collection, but also to add more if you wish.
The photos from the gallery are raw and unretouched photos. Retouching is done only on your selection, which will be notified to me when your choice is made.
If you wish to add photos you have different options: - pack 5 photos - pack 10 photos - pack 15 photos
What outfits to bring?
Jeans that no longer close, boyfriend-style ripped jeans, White and/or black and flesh-colored underwear (bra with removable straps if possible), a white and/or black set (like Calvin Klein set) body-hugging outfits or any other clothing you would like to wear for your photo shoot.
I provide a very pretty dressing room with unique pieces from Atelier ZANGARELLI, a French brand, nuanced dresses and veils, 100% made in France from ELIA MATERNITY, and very pretty couture dresses made in Italy.
I also offer you original and typical pieces brought back from my various travels around the globe in order to give you a different and unique experience.
When is the best time to do a maternity session?
To ensure availability for your photo shoot, I highly recommend booking as soon as possible. My diary fills up quickly, sometimes several months in advance.
For maternity sessions, it is essential to plan your session in advance. The ideal time for a pregnancy session is the 7th month. Your stomach is well rounded, you are not yet too tired and you can move easily. Make an appointment from the 3rd month of pregnancy.
Will my photos be published on the internet?
Your images will only be published on the internet if you give me your written authorization.
All the photos on my site and my social networks are the result of sessions carried out with real clients who agreed to share their images to illustrate my work.
I fully respect your choice if you prefer your images to remain confidential and not be published online.
What is the delivery time for photos?
A first gallery of my selection will be available under 2 weeks.
Once your selection is received, the processing time for your photos is 8 weeks excluding holidays. Remember to download your photos to a computer and don't wait too long, the link is only valid for one week.
CAN WE POST OFF THE SHOOTING?
Yes of course, if you or your child are ill, if you have force majeure we will find another date.
Can I recover the raw photos?
I never put back the raw photos! If you have chosen me to immortalize the highlights of your life it is because you know and appreciate my style and my work.
You have chosen to trust me, the raw photos only reflect half of my work !
My service is complete, from the shooting through the styling, the posing and ends with the retouching!

Each collection includes makeup for one person. It is possible to add a makeup service, each additional makeup will be charged $75.
No need to bring your makeup, I have everything you need!

Unfortunately no, I haven't mastered this part at all.
Can I come with my dog or cat?
Why not… I’m not against the idea. Let me know what you have in mind for this type of shoot! I'll see what can be done!
How long does the shoot last?
Shoots (excluding exceptional shoots) can last up to 2.5 hours.
It takes 45 minutes to 1 hour for makeup. For shooting I don't set a limit, the most important thing is to create pretty images, but you have to allow at least 1 hour.
Do you do outdoor shoots?
Normally no, but if your project matches my style, with pleasure! I did Bridget and Chris's wedding shoot as well as a breastfeeding shoot. I like challenges and nice challenges!
Do I need to bring my accessories?
You can bring anything you like, hats, necklaces, sneakers... If it is important, represents something for you, reflects a part of your personality of course!!! And don’t hesitate, it creates even more authentic and personalized images!
Do you have different clothing sizes?
I do my best to have a closet stocked with a little bit of everything and a little bit of every size. If you have any fears regarding your size, do not hesitate to contact me by email to tell me about your fears, or your desires! I always do my best to put you at ease and make this shoot a real moment of pleasure for you!
Music !
Music is known to relax and energize! If you like particular music or artists, don’t hesitate to tell me or prepare a playlist for me. If this can help you free yourself from stress and apprehension... let's go for it!!
