Claire Duranthon photographe

Specialist in maternity photography based in Riom (Puy-de-Dôme), Claire Duranthon supports expectant mothers with a gentle, natural and sincere approach. Passionate about landscapes and light — a legacy of her hikes in Auvergne — Claire places authenticity and emotion at the heart of every pregnancy photoshoot. Her vision is to avoid rigid poses and instead let gestures, exchanged glances and small details tell a story. Whether the session takes place outdoors at the foot of a mountain, in a field or in a warm indoor setting, Claire creates a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. Her discretion and observational sensitivity help pregnant clients feel comfortable, free to move and be themselves in front of the camera. The flow of a maternity session with Claire is simple and human: an initial conversation to understand your wishes, selecting a location that matches your personality, and then a guided session conducted with kindness. Claire frames to highlight the rounded belly, the silhouette and intimate details — hands resting, fabrics in motion, shared looks — while working with natural light to produce warm, timeless images. Her retouching is thoughtful: she enhances without altering, preserving the truth of the moment for authentic pregnancy photos. As a photographer specializing in expectant mothers, Claire also enjoys including a family dimension when desired: duo sessions, photos with your partner or with an older child, always with the same authentic approach. Based in Châtel-Guyon / Riom, she covers the Auvergne region and knows how to make the most of local atmospheres — mountain mists, golden evening light, wide-open spaces — to create unique images. If you are looking for a maternity photographer who prioritizes honest emotion, closeness and natural results, Claire will accompany you in creating precious memories of this fleeting period. Contact her to prepare a pregnancy photoshoot that truly reflects you.
