Hey Mum !
Meet Claire
Hi, I am Claire, a girl Mum, Chocolate addict, Cheese lover and Baby cuddler!
My work has taken me from the suburb of Paris, my place of birth, to London, which has been my new home for 10 years now.
I have been an engineer for decades, but everything changed when I became a mother in 2020, during the pandemic. My perspective on life has changed since then, and I really want my job to fulfil me and bring me joy everyday.
Why I love taking photos of my Lily and your babies ?
Most of our photos are with Dad, not me
I want to remember those moments and these feeling
They grow too quickly
One day, it will be everything that’s left of you for them to look at
I want to give YOU these photos. The ones you will look at, cry at and feel the moment again.

My Story
Grab a cup of coffee and read…
My little Lily was born, during lockdown, and it was bloody hard, I won’t lie. Becoming a Mum for the first time and being left alone in hospital for 3 days with a crying baby, not fun !
We never had our newborn photoshoot, sadly. So I picked up my camera and captured myself all those precious memories of her & us.
Most of us Mums are really busy & sometimes overwhelmed by Motherhood and the arrival of a newborn. It took me nearly 2 years to feel like myself again and I am still struggling with some burn out and post-partum depression. It is truly one of the most difficult job.
In my family, there was very little place to express our emotions, connect all together or just say a simple thing as “I love you”. This makes me sad thinking about it and I think that’s also one of the reason I really love capturing the emotions & connections of other families. Seeing those cute eyes looking at their mum with so much love and holding on to her with their little fingers, because she is just their entire world.
So, let me help you freeze your precious moments, celebrate what your body is capable of doing, and capture all the magic of your baby in your dream session.
Claire. Xx

“My session with Claire was amazing, she was so warm and caring to me and my family. The pictures turned out so beautiful, these are pictures that will still look stunning in years to come.
Thank you for an amazing Maternity session, I will be coming back to capture more memories with you.”
