Couples and family photographer

Photographs of your most meaningful milestones and the quiet, intimate moments of your time in Polynesia.

Since 2019, I have been documenting weddings with the same intention: to feel the day as much as photograph it. That calling revealed itself while shooting a close friend’s wedding in the South of France; a moment that showed me how naturally my sensitivity translates behind a lens far beyond staged poses. If you are looking for a photographer who can capture your personalities, projects, and emotions in Tahiti, Moorea, or beyond, you’re in the right place.

How it works

The process

The first talk

A first comprehensive overview sharing all relevant details (availability, rates, and session specifics).

The reservation

Upon confirming the estimate and submitting the deposit, your session becomes fully secured in my agenda.

The preparation

Getting to know how you wish to be seen, and guiding you through the preparation of your session — in Tahiti, Moorea, or any place that is meaningful to you.

The session

A moment to embrace wholeheartedly while reconnecting with who you are.

The edit

The quiet work behind the scenes that reveals the soul of your images and adds my signature final nuance.

The reveal

Receiving photographs to hold onto for years to come, ready to print and revisit whenever your heart needs it.

"The moment of photographing, instead of creating distance, is a moment of clarity and emotional connection for me"

ENGAGEMENT PHOTO SESSION ON A BLACK SAND BEACH IN TAHITI

FAQ - Couple photo sessions

We are not used to being photographed. How do you handle that?

First of all, thank you for saying so, it takes courage to share this with a complete stranger. The truth is, photogenic is far more about confidence than appearance. And building that confidence is part of my job. I specialize in candid photography: no forced poses, no awkward directions. Just genuine moments, captured as they happen. My guidance is especially tailored to those who have never felt comfortable in front of a camera. You may surprise yourself.

The photo session can take place at your resort or accommodation, or in other places I know. The location is discussed during the preparation phase.
Certain resorts and properties charge off-resort vendor fees. I’ll inform you as soon as I know your accommodation’s name when you reach out.

Congratulations on taking this beautiful step! As soon as you know where and when you’d like to propose, you can reach out. If you already have the date but not yet the location, or the location but not yet the exact moment, we can absolutely discuss it together. I’ll help you choose what will work best in terms of light, privacy, and atmosphere, so that this moment becomes even more remarkable than it already will be.

You can choose whatever reflects you best. These photos will be yours, so we’ll shape the session exactly the way you wish. Some people love going all out; others prefer an outfit that feels closer to their everyday life. You can even plan a “wow” outfit and a more casual one. In that case, the 1h30 package is usually the most suitable.
If you’d like floral accessories, I recommend choosing a maternity lei from our catalog. In Polynesian tradition, pregnant women wear lei (open flower garlands) rather than closed flower necklaces. A beautiful detail many people don’t know.
We can also plan for more personalized floral accessories. Just tell me what you have in mind when you reach out, and we’ll explore how to bring your idea to life.

Every stage has its own beauty, and we’ll adapt the session to how you feel and what your body allows.
A maternity photo session is ideal between the 6th and 8th month of pregnancy. At that stage, the belly is beautifully visible and, most of the time, the mom-to-be still feels comfortable and mobile.
And of course, your baby moon timing will always be welcome.

FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT AT TEMAE BEACH IN MOOREA

FAQ - Family photo session

We are not used to being photographed. How do you handle that?

First of all, thank you for saying so, it takes courage to share this with a complete stranger. The truth is, photogenic is far more about confidence than appearance. And building that confidence is part of my job. I specialize in candid photography : no forced poses, no awkward directions. Just genuine moments, captured as they happen. My guidance is especially tailored to those who have never felt comfortable in front of a camera. You may surprise yourself.

Let me reassure you right away: that is perfectly normal. We’ll use all that energy to create photos that truly reflect the essence of their childhood: discovery, wonder, liveliness. We’ll probably take a few posed photos during the session, but the heart of this experience is simple: we, as adults, adapt to the children. To their rhythm, their curiosity, their way of exploring the world. Not the other way around. And I promise you this: from all that movement and spontaneity will come images that feel true to their age and that you’ll cherish for the rest of your life.

We set the session time according to your baby’s natural waking hours. Depending on their age, whether they are already walking or not, and how curious they are, we choose a location that supports their curiosity and exploration.
During the session, there may be a breastfeeding moment and it’s perfectly fine. Everything unfolds at your baby’s rhythm. As parents, keep in mind that photos with very young children are always easier when you let go. Babies are not models, and I will never ask them to pose, to look at me if they don’t want to, or to stay in your arms if they prefer to crawl, walk, or play. On the contrary, candid photos capture moments of tenderness you’ll cherish for a long time as they grow.

Yes, absolutely. It’s actually an option that works the best for families with a toddler. Please make sure to mention it when you get in touch so we can plan the session accordingly.
Certain resorts and properties charge off-resort vendor fees. I’ll inform you as soon as I know your accommodation’s name when you reach out.

Apart from family sessions with a toddler, I no longer offer mini‑sessions, as they do not align with the way I work or with my values. Very short sessions focused only on posed photos do not allow me to connect with you or to genuinely explore images that reflect who you are and convey part of your personality.
My approach is rooted in presence, authenticity, and connection, and that simply requires time.

And building that confidence is part of my job. I specialize in candid photography : no forced poses, no awkward directions. Just genuine moments, captured as they happen. My guidance is especially tailored to those who have never felt comfortable in front of a camera. You may surprise yourself.

It truly depends on how you feel and on the reason you are treating yourself to this session. If you want to mark a special occasion, you can absolutely choose an outfit that reflects that moment. If your intention is mainly to take time for yourself or build self‑confidence, a dedicated outfit can help set the tone but a casual everyday-life outfit would work perfeclty too.
When you reach out, we will talk about it together and prepare a session that feels right for you and meets your expectations.

Let me reassure you: posing is something you learn. It is not innate. A large part of my work during a photo session is to guide you gently, clearly, and in a way that feels natural. My approach is specifically designed for people who are stepping in front of the camera for the first time, even with hesitations or doubts.
I have specialized in candid photography so you don’t need to know how to pose. You simply need to be yourself unapologetically, and I take care of the rest.

COUPLE PHOTOSHOOT IN TAHITI ON A DARK SAND BEACH WITH MOUNTAIN VIEW AND FLOWER CROWN

We had a photo session with Vaikehu in Tahiti during our holiday in French Polynesia, and we would do it a thousand times over! We had a wonderful time together; she made us feel at ease and we laughed a lot! These photos are such a beautiful memory of our trip. Maururu, Vaikehu!

A competent and very talented photographer. We were very satisfied with our wedding photos (2023), to the point that we chose to come back to her this year (2025) for family photos. Wonderful memories for life. Thank you.
