Bénédicte Hoff photographe

I am Bénédicte Hoff, a specialist maternity photographer based in the Territoire de Belfort. Since 2009 I have been putting my experience at the service of expectant mothers. My approach to maternity photography emphasizes emotion, gentleness and authenticity: I aim to create images that reflect you — memories to keep and pass on. Why choose me for your maternity session? Because I am both a professional photographer and a mother. I have lived pregnancy, breastfeeding and the daily life of young families — experiences that shape the way I work. I take care to respect your pace, your privacy and your wishes: whether you want sensitive portraits of your bump, lifestyle images at home, or a walk in the woods for an outdoor maternity shoot, I will accompany you with warmth and attentiveness. My work sits between documentary and intimate portraiture. I favour natural light, simple compositions and candid moments — a knowing glance, a hand on the belly, a shared laugh — to reflect the beauty of this unique stage. If you would like an artistic touch, I also offer collaborations such as belly painting to celebrate the round belly, always using professional, hypoallergenic products. How does a session work? We begin with a discussion before the shoot to talk about your wishes, possible locations (at home in Danjoutin/Belfort, outdoors, or in the homestudio) and I guide you in choosing outfits to achieve harmonious, sincere images. On the day, the atmosphere is relaxed — I want you to feel comfortable, like you would with a friend: we laugh, take our time and adapt to breaks, rest needs or breastfeeding. After the session I sort and retouch the images with the goal of preserving their natural feel while enhancing light and colour. You receive your photos via a private online gallery so you can choose your favourite memories. Based in Belfort and mobile across Franche‑Comté and Alsace, I specialise in maternity photography and am committed to creating intimate, honest and tender images — a visual legacy for you and your child.
