I have never posed in front of a photographer and I dare not book a session. What to do ?
A first session can be stressful if you’ve never done one before. The sessions that I present on my website were made with people who had never done a photo shoot themselves.
Before the session, we plan a telephone meeting to discuss and give you some advice. An advice guide will be e-mailed to you before the session.
I will be there throughout the session to guide you through the poses and advise you. For portrait sessions alone, you can come accompanied if you wish.
If you wish, ESTIM sessions can help you regain your self-confidence.
How should I prepare for the session?
When you book, I’ll send you a guide with a few tips to help you get ready. It will also be an opportunity for you to discuss your questions and wishes. There’s also lots of advice on the blog.

The photos will be sent to you digitally in standard quality on an online gallery within an average of six weeks of receipt of payment. Delays depends on the time of year.

All photo sessions can be done outdoors, or at your home. I travel wherever my projects take me, and travel costs are extra for projects over 30 km from Toulouse. Travel costs are €0.50/km.
Photo shoots are available from Tuesday to Saturday, from sunrise to sunset, although there are more suitable times for the light.
