Family photo shoot in Hyères: a documentary approach for authentic and natural memories
As a family photographer in Provence, I offer documentary family photo shoot in Hyères and the surrounding area, designed to capture who you really are: a unique family, full of life, tenderness, and spontaneity. No stiff poses, no forced smiles, just you, together, in the moment.
A documentary approach: what is it?
Unlike a very posed and directed session, the documentary approach aims to tell a story in pictures, your story. I will guide you gently throughout the session, but above all I will leave room for the unexpected, for bursts of laughter, knowing glances, and tender gestures.
The goal is to capture the authenticity of your interactions, the little everyday things that make up your family, and that you will be happy to look back on in a few years.
What is a family photo shoot with me like?
The location
Duration
The process
I travel throughout the region around Hyères, in the Var department, whether it be at your home, in your garden, by the sea at sunset, or in the heart of a Mediterranean forest. The idea is to choose a place that speaks to you and where you feel comfortable.
The session usually lasts between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes, to allow time to relax, bond, and above all… to live.
I always start by getting to know you, chatting with the children a little, and observing your dynamics. Then I suggest some little games or gentle prompts to get the conversation going, but I never force anything. Every family is different: I adapt to your pace and your personalities.
Prompt ideas for a natural and fluid session
“Let your baby fly to the stars!”
“Whisper a secret in Daddy’s ear.”
“Funny face contest on mom’s shoulders!”
“Race over to me!”
These invitations create genuine moments, full of laughter, emotions, and sometimes even tears (the beautiful ones, those of love).
Why choose a family documentary session?
To remain true to yourselves
No need to dress up or smile at all costs. We capture real life: a caressing hand, sudden laughter, a fall followed by a hug, a tender look.
To tell a story
Each image becomes a chapter in your family history, frozen in time. More than just photos, they are memories brought to life.
To live in the moment to the fullest
What if this session also became a moment for you to reconnect, far from everyday life and screens?
