Stéphan Peretti

As a maternity photography specialist based in Toulon, my work focuses on celebrating this unique life moment. My approach to maternity shoots prioritizes attentive listening, safety and the creation of timeless images: soft, graphic and sometimes suspended portraits that honor the expectant mother's silhouette and the natural beauty of the baby bump. What sets my work apart is my specialization in underwater maternity photography. Shooting beneath the surface enables the creation of ethereal, weightless and very gentle images while providing a reassuring, comfortable environment. Sessions take place in a heated pool, and a preliminary consultation is provided to answer your questions and tailor the session to your needs. I also offer a selection of maternity gowns and accessories designed to flatter your figure and make underwater posing easier. Safety and comfort are central to my practice: my qualifications (BNSSA, MEF2 Apnea and a certificate of aptitude for hyperbaric environments) allow me to supervise underwater sessions with confidence, even with clients who have little or no freediving experience. I manage water temperature, rest breaks and a gradual acclimatization so you can feel secure throughout the shoot. Professional underwater housings, lighting and technical rigour ensure consistently high-quality results. My artistic approach is discreet and respectful: I favour natural, non-intrusive styling to capture authentic gestures, lines and expressions. Each image receives careful post-production — colour balancing and professional retouching — to produce high-quality maternity photos ready for printing or sharing online. Final images are delivered in high-definition, retouched files that preserve the emotion and aesthetic of the session. Choosing Stéphan Peretti for your maternity session means choosing a specialist photographer in Toulon who combines artistic sensitivity with technical expertise. I accompany you from the initial exchange to the delivery of images so this wonderful memory becomes a personal and lasting work of art.
