Maternity specialist in Nevers, Mélanie offers natural, poetic pregnancy photo sessions. A lifestyle approach to celebrate the baby bump and the emotion of this moment.
Based in Nevers and specialized in maternity photography, Mélanie Quatrale puts motherhood at the heart of her work. A true storyteller, she seeks first and foremost the sincerity of moments: exchanged glances, gentle gestures, and the curve of a pregnant belly. Her approach is lifestyle, poetic and authentic — images that narrate the transformation and the anticipation, far from stiff, posed shots. Why choose Mélanie? She is attentive, patient and sensitive to the emotions unique to this stage of life. As a mother herself, she understands the needs and concerns of expectant parents and knows how to create a trusting, comfortable atmosphere. Her photographic signature favors natural light, simple compositions and intimate moments of connection to produce maternity portraits that breathe tenderness. How does a session work? Mélanie offers a caring, personalized accompaniment: you discuss your wishes, favorite locations (indoor, outdoor or mobile studio) and the mood you want. During the shoot she gently guides you to reveal natural postures and captures couple interactions or quiet, reflective moments. She also proposes more original options, such as a milk-bath session, for poetic and intimate images. The result is a fully retouched gallery that highlights the beauty of pregnancy — photos to keep for yourselves and to pass down. Mélanie places great importance on image quality, respect for your privacy and an authentic relationship with her clients. Based in Nevers, she works throughout Nièvre and Burgundy and welcomes maternity photography projects, whether for solo portraits, couple sessions or more documentary-style coverage of this unique moment. If you are looking for a maternity photographer who combines sensitivity, lifestyle aesthetics and attentive listening, Mélanie Quatrale specializes in elevating your pregnancy and telling this precious chapter of your story through images.
