Anaïs Capture

I’m Anaïs, a maternity photographer based in Cournon‑d'Auvergne. My approach to life photography is rooted in a sensitivity for authentic moments: I look for glances, hands resting on the belly, and quiet, knowing pauses that tell the story of waiting. As a specialist in maternity photography, I combine gentleness, discretion and a moody aesthetic that highlights natural light and simple emotions. Why choose me? I design every session as a caring pause. I take time to listen to you, to understand what matters, and to create an atmosphere where you feel at ease. My experience and patience allow me to support each expectant mother with respect for her rhythm and comfort — the aim is to celebrate your bump while preserving your intimacy. How does a maternity session with me work? We adapt the location to your wishes: an outdoor session for soft light and natural backdrops, or a session at home for an intimate, warm atmosphere. I guide you gently, avoiding forced poses: natural gestures, affectionate exchanges and shared breaths often create the most sincere images. The best moment to book is usually around the 7th–8th month, when the belly is nicely rounded and you still feel comfortable. My work is shaped by kindness — I ensure comfort, trust and simplicity during the shoot. After the session, I carefully edit each image to preserve the moody palette and soft tones that define my world. The memories I deliver are intended to stand the test of time: images that, like a scent, will bring you back to the tenderness of that wait. I primarily travel across Auvergne and Nièvre and remain available for projects elsewhere in France. If you’re looking for a maternity photographer who places people and emotion at the heart of the work, let’s talk about your project — I would be delighted to accompany you through this precious moment.
