Newborn Photographer in South Touraine
The very first days of your baby, photographed with gentleness, in a warm studio in Varennes, near Loches and Tours.
Your photographer
A photographer who truly understands little ones
Licensed childminder since 2009
I am Claire, family photographer in South Touraine and mother of two children. Since 2009, I have also been supporting little ones in my role as a childminder.
Photographing a newborn is not just about pressing a button: it's about knowing how to position them, reassure them, respect their rhythm and yours. Your baby is entrusted to hands experienced with early childhood, in a calm and secure environment.

Setups created on a white backdrop
At the home studio, all my newborn setups are created on a white backdrop. A soft, bright and timeless base that puts all the light on your baby and will never go out of style.
The setups come from the accessories. Wraps, bonnets, blankets and small details bring colour and tenderness: I build each setup on this white backdrop, in harmony with the universe you choose.
You choose your setup after booking, with my advice if you hesitate.

How does your newborn session work?
1. Booking
Choose your date online during pregnancy, no later than 15 days before the session. The session takes place within baby's first two weeks. 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, and you choose your decor in my online gallery.
3. The session
At my home studio in Varennes, warm and calm. If baby is hungry or wants a cuddle, we stop: baby sets the pace. Bring bottles, pacifiers and changing supplies, I take care of the rest.
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 newborn session
When to book a newborn session?
The ideal time is to book during pregnancy, around the 7th or 8th month. The session takes place within the first two weeks of baby. Online booking closes 15 days before the date: book early, only a few families are welcomed each month.
What if my baby was born several weeks ago?
No problem. After three weeks, baby is more alert: we can opt for a more lifestyle session, just as beautiful, or a family session.
Will my baby be safe?
Always. Experienced with little ones since 2009, I only position baby in natural and safe poses, never forcing. Their comfort comes first.
How long does a session last?
Up to 1.5 hours, 2 hours or 3 hours depending on the chosen session. But we never look at the clock: feedings, cuddles, and breaks are part of the process.
Can we gift a newborn session?
Yes, thanks to the gift card, ideal for a baby shower or a birth: parents can then choose their date.
