Une Seconde d'Amour

Une Seconde d'Amour is the project of Marie Kuentz, a photographer based in the heart of Colmar, dedicated to maternity photography. A specialist in pregnant portraiture, Marie devotes her attention to highlighting this unique chapter: “memories last longer than things.” Her approach aims to create intimate, elegant and timeless images you will be proud to share. Why choose Une Seconde d'Amour? Because pregnancy deserves a caring, beautiful light. Marie knows how to support each expectant mother, whatever her style or body type, turning the session into a calming, confidence-building experience. Her signature is recognizable in delicate, natural portraits, clean compositions and a sensitive use of light that flatters the baby bump. How does a session work? It begins with a conversation to understand your wishes: a heated studio in Colmar’s city centre or an outdoor location in Alsace/Vosges depending on the mood you want. In studio you can use a dedicated wardrobe (gowns, kimonos, bodysuits) selected to accentuate the mother-to-be’s curves. For a bohemian touch, dried flower crowns (created by Nadia of Le Comptoir du Az’art) and a curated selection of hats are available. A professional makeup artist, Julie Peres, can be booked if you’d like to be made up for the shoot. During the session, Marie guides you step by step—positions, gazes, interactions—to achieve natural images without stiff posing. You may come alone or with your partner and children: the session can be adapted to capture couple intimacy and early family moments as well. Comfort is a priority: kindness, patience and respect for each person’s rhythm. The result: warm, refined photographs designed to tell the story of your pregnancy. If you want a memory that stands the test of time, Une Seconde d'Amour supports you with attentive listening and creativity to create images that truly reflect you, in Colmar and across the landscapes of Alsace.
