Studio Ava

I’m Maite (Mati), a self-taught photographer based in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, in Essonne, and maternity photography is at the heart of my work. At Studio Ava I present myself as a maternity specialist: my approach aims to celebrate this unique period with sensitivity, elegance and authenticity. Every maternity session is designed to reveal the natural beauty of the expectant mother and to create images that tell an intimate, warm story. Why choose Studio Ava for your maternity shoot? Because I combine attentive care with thoughtful artistic direction. I place as much importance on comfort and trust as on composition and light. My goal is to capture genuine moments — glances, gestures, silhouette — while delivering refined, understated and timeless images. I master the codes of maternity photography: framing that highlights the rounded belly, light plays for luminous portraits, and delicate retouching for a natural finish. How does a session unfold? We begin with a conversation to define your wishes (studio or outdoors, desired atmosphere, outfits). In the studio I provide backdrops and dresses to simplify styling; outdoors, I choose locations with you that match your story. During the session, I gently guide you through poses and expressions so you feel comfortable and beautiful. The pace is respectful, the atmosphere calm and caring — the essential aim is to create images in which you recognize yourself. Upon delivery, you receive a professionally retouched selection via a private online gallery, ready to download in high resolution. For families who wish to continue, Studio Ava also offers newborn sessions to preserve the coherence and tenderness of the photographic narrative. If you are looking for a maternity photographer in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois who puts gentleness, aesthetics and listening at the center of the session, contact Studio Ava. Together we will create maternity images that will stand the test of time and become your cherished memories.
