Pregnancy photo session · Varennes (37600)
Pregnancy Photographer in South Touraine
These few months where baby grows inside you pass so quickly. A gentle session in my cozy studio in Varennes, near Loches and Tours.
Your photographer
A session designed for your comfort
Gentleness, listening, and kindness
I am Claire, family photographer in South Touraine, mother of two children and licensed childminder since 2009. I have accompanied many future parents, and I know how this period combines joy, fatigue, and impatience.
During the session, nothing is forced: we take the time to settle in, to take breaks, to laugh. Your comfort comes before the pose. The future dad, co-mom, and older siblings are welcome.

And after? The First Chapters collection
After the pregnancy, I welcome your baby in their first two weeks for their newborn session. The First Chapters collection combines the Emotion Pregnancy session and the Heritage Newborn session for €309 instead of €358. Booking it during pregnancy ensures you a spot, as only a few families are welcomed each month.
White or black backdrop: timeless images
At the home studio, I currently work with two backdrops to choose from: white or black. Two simple, timeless tones that put all the light on your rounded belly and will never go out of style.
White brings softness and brightness, for light and airy images. Black creates a more intimate and elegant mood, sculpting curves and light.
Colour comes from your outfits and a few accessories, chosen to match the backdrop.
With the Essential session, you choose one of the two backdrops. With the Emotion and Heritage sessions, we use both. I advise you on your outfits for a harmonious result.
Outdoors, in the heart of Touraine's nature
Fancy natural light? Your pregnancy session can also take place outdoors in Touraine: fields, woods, riverbanks, parks… We choose the location together, depending on the season and your wishes.
Same price as at the studio. The best time is from spring to autumn, in the late afternoon, when the light is soft and golden on your rounded belly.
How does your pregnancy session work?
1. Booking
Choose your date online from the 2nd trimester, no later than 15 days before the session, ideally around the 7th or 8th month. Your session is booked once you have accepted the quote, signed the contract (the last box lets you choose whether your photos may be shared) and paid the 30% deposit.
2. Preparation
You receive my preparation guide and answers to frequently asked questions by email. Together, we choose your outfits and your backdrop, white or black.
3. The session
At my home studio in Varennes (37600), warm and calm, close to Loches, Ligueil and Sainte-Maure-de-Touraine. I guide you step by step, even if you don't like being photographed.
4. Discovering your images
I invite you to my home studio to discover your photos together and choose your favourites. If you prefer, they are delivered directly to your private online gallery within 3 weeks.
Frequently asked questions about the pregnancy session
When is the best time for a pregnancy photo session?
Ideally between the 7th and 8th month: the belly is nicely rounded and you remain comfortable. Online booking closes 15 days before the date, so remember to book as early as the 2nd trimester.
Can my partner and children participate?
Yes, of course. The future dad, co-mom, and older siblings can participate; this is often where the most touching images are born.
I'm not comfortable in front of the camera, is that a problem?
This is the case for most future moms I photograph. I guide you with simple and natural gestures, without forced poses.
Can we gift a pregnancy session?
Yes, with the gift card: a lovely gesture for a future mom, available at any time. The date can be chosen later.
