Laure and Mathieu – maternity photo shoot taken in Nice

The season’s over but that doesn’t mean I’ve got no work! Here are some pictures from a maternity photo shoot taken in Nice.
The weather was lovely, sunny and warm, that’s why Cote d’Azur is perfect for photography, even in winter.
I have found a nice place called Cascade de Gairaut which, I thought would be great for the future mom & dad photo session.

Cascade de Gairaut is located on the Vesubie Canal. Surrounded by an expertly landscaped part, it constitutes a genuine monument to the establishment of the canal in 1883. thanks to its position on a mountain slope, the site offers a great panorama of Nice and the coastline. The dense vegetation and curious rock formations add to the natural beauty of the site. The humming sound of falling water combines with strong scent of blooming plants, stimulating all the senses.

Laure is in 7th month, that’s a perfect time to take pregnancy pictures plus she looked and felt great!
Once little Eduard is born, we’ll take some family photos, so visit my blog soon!

Marissa – maternity photo shoot

It’s not the first time I have photographed Marissa but each time I truly enjoy it! She’s expecting her second baby so it was supposed to be a maternity photo shoot but we went a little bit further & also took a couple of 20′s fashion-like pictures.
Check her previous photographs that I took here! And for all future mothers that still hesitate whether to have a professional maternity photos taken, I’ve got an article for you:-) Why pregnant women are sexy?

Esther & James – maternity photo shoot

Recently, I had the pleasure to photograph beautiful Esther and her handsome husband James (I should also mention their cat – Anton, he’s quite photogenic too). They’re expecting a baby girl and have asked me for a maternity photo shoot. It is such an honor to be a part of my clients’ lives as they become a family. As they happen to live in a nice villa with a garden we used their property to take the pictures. It was a sunny and warm day, so we’ve continued on the beach of la petite Afrique in Beaulieu sur mer.
Pregnant women can look and feel sexy and gorgeous !

Hi Marta – We just finished going through all the pictures and we’re so happy with them!  Thanks for making me feel and look pretty in them as I’ve just been feeling so big and bloated these days. James’ favorite is the one of me lying on the red couch with petals falling onto my belly  I can’t even begin to decide my favorite as there are so many that I think look perfect. Thanks again, Esther.

Marissa & Chloe – mother and child portrait photography

Photographing a mother and her child is one of the most pleasant moments, especially when the child is cute and mom is a pretty lady! A year ago Marissa has asked me for a pregnancy photo shoot as a surprise gift for her husband. I remember when we were carefully hiding this information from him on the day of the shoot. Time goes by so fast and now little Chloé Carmella has come into the world! Apart from having a mother & baby photo shoot simply as a souvenir, these photos will also serve Marissa to be sent to a kids model agency.

If you’d also like your baby to become a child model here are some tips. We’ve tried several outfits, indoors, outdoors and combinations to vary a bit. Below is my favourite shot – pearls are girl’s best friend (pyjama will soon be replaced by a cocktail dress) Photo shoot may be a bit tiring for small babies, who don’t necessarily want to stay put in one place, so it’s good if mom can pass behind a photographer and do something funny to keep the attention of her baby and point it to the camera.

Once again it was a very enjoyable day, especially after eating a couple of scones with cranberries – straight from Galesville, Marissa’s hometown, lucky me!

Coucou Marta!
Just wanted to let you know, last night I sent 1 photo to the agency…and the sent me an email AND called me this morning to tell me they would LOVE to represent Chloe as her agency and see Chloe right away to do castings..They said your photo caught their eye instantly, being that they recieve plenty of photos daily of babies…but your photo of the little cutie is what did it! ))))
