Claire COMBES Photographie

Specialist in maternity photography based near Castres, Claire COMBES places pregnancy at the heart of her work. A professional photographer since 2015 and a mother herself, Claire has developed a caring and respectful approach that highlights femininity, the rounded belly and the unique emotions of this period. Her style is defined by softness, simplicity and a search for genuine moments — images that will endure through the years. What makes the difference? Listening and experience. Trained with specialist photographers and with a human-care background as a state-certified nursing assistant, Claire knows how to create a climate of trust where the expectant mother feels comfortable. Whether you want sculptural lighting to emphasize the belly in the studio, a walk outdoors for natural photos, or a cocoon-style session at home, Claire adapts her approach to reveal what reflects you. In the 60 m² studio, the focus is on silhouette and minimalist staging: outfits and accessories are available on site to enhance each pose without artifice. Outdoors, Claire favors natural light and carefully chosen locations around Castres and the Tarn to achieve luminous, poetic shots. At home, the session unfolds gently in your own space, producing intimate and tender images. Working with Claire is simple and warm: preliminary conversations to prepare the session, wardrobe advice, guidance during the shoot and a careful selection of images. Her aim is to capture the benevolence of looks, tender gestures and the serenity that accompanies pregnancy. The photos are then edited to reflect a pure, timeless aesthetic true to her vision. Based in Castres, Claire serves families across Occitanie who seek maternity photography that is understated, elegant and sincere. If you wish to keep deep memories of this anticipation, Claire COMBES welcomes you to create together images that tell your story.
