Simone Photographie

I am Mélissa — the person behind Simone Photographie — and I specialise in maternity photography in Saint‑Martin‑d'Hères. I place pregnancy at the heart of my work, focusing on capturing those unique moments: the rounded belly, the way light falls on skin, tender gestures, and the connection with a partner or older children. As a maternity photographer, I aim to deliver sensitive, honest and luminous images that tell your story as a woman and a future mother. My approach is gentle and human-centred: I welcome each of you with kindness, listen to your wishes and adapt to your comfort. Whether you want a cosy at-home maternity session, an outdoor pregnancy shoot or photographs focused on breastfeeding and the newborn bond, I create a bespoke, intimate and calm experience. I love working with natural light and natural poses to produce maternity photos that breathe — no stiff posing, just the truth of the moment. How do I work? Before the session we talk to understand your desires, your level of intimacy and the locations that speak to you. On the day, I build a soft, relaxed atmosphere: I guide with gentle humour and sensitivity when needed, and I mostly give room to spontaneity. My goal is for you to feel beautiful, comfortable and respected so that every image reflects both the strength and the vulnerability of this period. I often recommend scheduling the session in the seventh or eighth month to best showcase the curve of the belly while always respecting your pace and comfort. The photographs I deliver are carefully edited to preserve their natural light and poetic quality: keepsakes you can later share with your child that will bring you back to these raw emotions. In Saint‑Martin‑d'Hères and the surrounding region, Simone Photographie stands as a caring reference for maternity photography. If you are looking for a maternity photographer who values authenticity, gentleness and a poetic eye, let’s talk about your project — I would be delighted to accompany you and create images that truly reflect who you are.
