Karen Garuchet Photographie

A recognized specialist in maternity photography, Karen Garuchet works from her studio in Crépy‑en‑Valois to celebrate every curve and every emotion tied to pregnancy. Selected twice for Team France at the world photography championships, she combines strong artistic standards with a warm — gentle and playfully bold — approach to create images that are as much intimate portraits as they are works of art. Why choose Karen for your maternity session? Because she places trust and comfort at the heart of her practice. Her work goes beyond technique: it tells your story, highlights the natural beauty of the expectant mother, and composes images that will find a place in your home. Karen favors elegant staging, carefully crafted lighting and thoughtful framing that respect the intimacy of the moment, while sometimes proposing creative ideas for striking, timeless photographs. How does a session unfold? Karen supports each client from the preparation stage: pre-session conversations, advice on outfit and accessory choices, and a preparation guide to help you arrive calm and confident on the day. Sessions can take place in the studio—where sets and wardrobe are arranged to welcome you—or outdoors, according to your wishes. During the shoot, Karen gently directs poses and cultivates a relaxed, supportive atmosphere—ideal for revealing natural postures, knowing looks and tender moments. Her approach is bespoke: every session is tailored to reflect your personality and the bond you share with your baby. Post-production is an integral part of her artistic universe: Karen refines color grading and image rendering to deliver coherent, elegant photos ready to be displayed. Based in Crépy‑en‑Valois, close to Paris, Karen welcomes expectant mothers from across Île‑de‑France and neighboring regions. If you are looking for a maternity photographer who combines sensitivity, expertise and creativity to immortalize your pregnancy, Karen Garuchet offers a human and artistic experience to preserve these precious memories for a lifetime.
