For the woman becoming a mother and returning to herself after.

Becoming a mother changes everything, your body, your heart, the way you see yourself. Whether you're carrying new life or finding your way back to yourself after, the woman you are deserves to be witnessed through all of it. My work is about bringing her into focus. I photograph you as you truly are, mother and woman both, in images real enough that you'll feel like yourself again looking at them.

MORE ABOUT ME

I grew up believing being an artist wasn't a real option for a girl from my small French town. You chose something practical, something safe, and you didn't dream too big. So I did the expected thing for years, the degree, the corporate jobs, until I felt myself dimming. Photography is how I found my way back to myself. What started as a way to feel alive became the way I came home to my own body, my own worth, my own permission to take up space.

A year ago, I became a mother, and everything I thought I understood about transformation deepened. I've lived what you're living now: the changing body, the shifting identity, the search for the woman underneath it all. I know how easy it is to lose sight of her, and how powerful it is to be reminded she's still there. That's why I do this work. I don't just photograph you. I witness you, the way I once needed to be witnessed.

YOUR LOVE NOTES

"EI've never had anyone capture my essence as a mom and the light in my kids the way Emilie did. Nothing felt posed. It was just us, being us, in the most ordinary and most beautiful moments.

My favorite part was how natural it all felt. My kids weren't performing for a camera. They were just playing, and I got to be in it with them instead of standing off to the side saying "smile."

Honestly, when we finished I wasn't even sure she'd gotten that many "good" moments. Then the gallery came and I was floored. She'd caught all of it. Something shifted for me seeing those photos. I don't just see a mom who got everyone dressed and out the door. I see how much love is actually living in our house on a random Tuesday.

If you're on the fence, book it. You will not regret having proof of who your family is right now."

"I've worked with many photographers before over various milestones of my life. That being said, I can't recommend Emilie enough. I have never had a photographer put as much heart and energy into their work. When Emilie showed up I was nervous for how it would go but she made the entire experience easy, organic and allowed my son to lead the way.

We cherish these photos more than I can express, even capturing the smallest details I mentioned, like his hands. I have those sweet moments to hold onto forever. This is not be the last time I use her!"

"Emilie is the best and truly talented. I can’t recommend her enough. I chose to do a motherhood photoshoot with her, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Her work is simply incredible — full of emotion, kindness, and authenticity. During the shoot, I felt truly seen, supported, and at ease. And when I received the photos and short videos afterward, I was deeply moved. Thanks to Emilie’s talent and sensitivity, I was able to connect even more deeply with my baby and fully embrace this new chapter of motherhood.

Thank you, Emilie, for capturing these precious moments with so much care."

Charlotte

"The weeks go by, and I still cherish the wonderful memory of our encounter. Filled with sunshine, colors, and laughter! You made this moment unique and beautiful. Your guidance, your attentiveness, and your sensitivity made this experience truly magical. The final result is incredible, but the journey to get there was just as meaningful!

I am proud of these photos, and I love looking at them or sharing them with loved ones from time to time, like little treasures. It’s a beautiful gift of love from me to myself on my path toward confidence and self-kindness. I look forward to crossing paths with you again, little ray of sunshine!! "

A Few Women Each Season

I take on a limited number of sessions at a time, so each woman has my full presence and care. If this is the season you want to remember, the one where you came back to yourself, I'd love to hear your story.
