I had met Mathieu, Marie-Julie’s partner, at Lucie and Hugo’s wedding, where he was Hugo’s best man. What a wonderful surprise to receive a call from him, asking me to capture Marie-Julie’s pregnancy!

We quickly planned a photo session at Paloumey Pond, an ideal location for a natural and serene atmosphere.

This place, which I particularly love, offers a stunning setting with its tall grasses, trees, and the pond, all bathed in consistently exceptional light. It’s one of my favorite spots to capture your memories.

We started the session in the tall grass. Mathieu twirled Marie-Julie around, they walked together, shared intimate moments, and then sat down in this natural setting for soft, heartfelt photos.

The session ended beautifully at sunset, with their feet in the water. The golden reflections on the pond added a magical touch to these precious memories.
