Jolis Sourires Photographie

I’m Estelle, a maternity photographer based in Chennevières‑sur‑Marne. My photographic practice is rooted in my background as a journalist: I love “writing with light” without artifice, letting the sincerity of moments show through. As a specialist in maternity photography, I bring a caring eye to expectant women to create images that tell a story — yours. My approach is simple and attentive: I favour a lifestyle and fine‑art aesthetic, balancing delicate posed images with spontaneous, captured moments. During a maternity session, my aim is to celebrate the baby bump while always respecting your comfort. I support you in choosing the location — at home for a natural intimacy, outdoors for soft natural light, or in a place that inspires you — and I advise on the most flattering time for light. I often suggest scheduling around the seventh month, when the bump typically looks especially harmonious. Working with me means receiving patient, warm guidance. Before the session we’ll talk to define your wishes: clean silhouettes in black and white, golden‑hour colour images, sensual portraits or more documentary‑style photos. During the shoot I create a relaxed atmosphere — music, conversation, breaks — so you feel beautiful and at ease in front of the camera. My experience in portrait and family photography also informs my maternity work: I know how to capture tenderness, the connection with a partner or older children, and the small details (hands on the belly, profile, gaze) that make each collection unique. I continue to train with recognised photographers and to refine my eye so I can offer timeless, refined images. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer in Chennevières‑sur‑Marne or in Île‑de‑France, I would be delighted to discuss a bespoke session with you. Contact me to tell me about your project — I like to listen first, then create.
