    I offer couple sessions, marriage proposals, intimate custom weddings, family, maternity, and all types of shoots for individuals in Tahiti and Moorea.

    And if you don't find your dream session on my site, write to me: we'll see together if I can offer you something

  • What does it cost?

    My rates vary depending on the type of session. To give you an idea, my signature sessions in Tahiti start at 50,000 XPF ($470). Travel fees apply for Moorea sessions.

    The easiest way is to send me a message so we can discuss your vision, and I'll send you a personalized link where you can explore all my offers and services.

    Keep in mind that this is an investment in memories that will last a very long time, with complete service and nothing extra to add.

    For intimate weddings lasting a few hours: expect between 80,000 and 160,000 XPF ($750 - $1,500), and 240,000 to 320,000 XPF ($2,250 - $3,000) for a full classic wedding day.

    Travel to other islands and options: content creation, aerial views, photo albums, additional hours available as extras.

    Projects for brands and inspired venues: Rates are established through personalized quotes based on the project nature, usage rights, and intended use of the visuals. Indicative rate for photography services: 35,000 to 45,000 XPF/hour ($330 - $420).

  • Do you offer aerial drone photography?

    Yes! I'm a certified professional drone pilot.

    Drone photography is a beautiful way to add another dimension to your images. Whether it's to capture your beach wedding from above, reveal the stunning beauty of a location from the sky, or create that "wow" factor, aerial shots make all the difference.

    We'll discuss it together during our first conversation to see what would work best for your project. And even though we plan everything carefully (flight plans, permits...), keep in mind that drone flights depend on weather conditions. Sometimes, wind or weather may require us to adapt or reschedule. Nature calls the shots!

    But when conditions align... it's just magical.

  • How does your creative process work?

    Everything starts with us. With a discussion where I get to know you, understand your universe, your deep desires. Because to reveal your authenticity, I first need to know who you really are. Together, we imagine a direction that resembles you. My role? Create a moment where you can simply be yourself, while I write your ❤️ with light.

  • What does a signature session look like?

    A session is an experience designed entirely for you. It starts well before the day, with my preparation guides and our exchanges. On the day, we meet in a place that inspires us, usually at sunrise or sunset. I guide you while keeping that spontaneity that makes your emotions stay true. The goal? That you leave with timeless images that truly tell your story of today.

  • How long does a signature session last?

    Usually around 1h30 – could be a bit less or a bit more.

    My expertise and years of practice have helped me determine this ideal time to create together, but I never watch the clock while we're shooting.Don't worry about a thing: I don't charge extra for the time we spend together. I'd rather we take our time to have fun without any pressure, especially if there are kids involved.

    My advice? Don't squeeze this moment between two appointments. Experience it as a real adventure. And if the vibe is great, we keep going!

    As for delivery: I give you all the memories worth keeping. The photography industry typically agrees on 50 to 60 photos per hour of coverage. With me, you'll get them all – nothing extra to pay.

  • How does it work for weddings?

    For weddings, I don't offer ready-made packages, but custom collections. I love meeting with you to understand your energy, discuss how I'll cover your big day, and have you browse through my catalog to choose what truly speaks to you. This way, I can offer you an ultra-personalized quote. Then we formalize everything with a contract, and I offer you a payment plan in two installments: 50% upon booking to secure my services and the balance on your wedding day. Depending on your date, I can also offer you a staggered payment plan.

    The support is even more comprehensive than for signature sessions: detailed questionnaires, preparation guides, then complete coverage of your day in an approach that reflects who you are.

    The next day, you'll already receive your first previews

    Then, after your premium private gallery goes live, you'll also discover beautiful tangible memories: an elegant personalized wooden box with a USB key containing all your photos in high definition, a selection of paper prints, and a few surprises crafted with love.

  • How many photos will I receive?

    For a signature session: You'll receive all the memories worth keeping – nothing extra to add. The photography industry generally agrees on 45 to 60 photos per hour of coverage.

    For a wedding: Same principle, depending on the coverage duration you choose. If you book 6 hours, expect around 300 to 360 photos. If you book a full day, many more.

    When you receive your gallery, it contains all the moments worth sharing – no additional fee to unlock extra photos.

    All your photos are carefully selected and edited, delivered in high definition and web version, with full rights for personal use

  • How do I book a session?

    Simple: contact me via my website or send me a message on Instagram. We'll discuss your project together, then I'll send you my contract. A 30% deposit secures your date. And there, the real things begin

  • Why shoot only during the golden hour?

    Because light is everything. This magical hour, just after sunrise or before sunset, transforms everything. It caresses your skin, enhances the colors of Tahiti and Moorea, and creates that atmosphere you won't find anywhere else. It's this light that gives my images that unique signature, that intensity you feel immediately.

  • When will I receive my photos?

    Generally count 2 to 3 weeks for sessions (family, couple, maternity, newborn, portraits, branding). For a wedding or big event, plan rather 6 to 8 weeks. But I always send you a few previews the day after the wedding to help you relive the emotion while waiting.

  • What should I prepare for my session?

    Nothing other than your desire to live a magical moment! As soon as you book, I send you my complete guide with all my secrets: style advice, preparation, outfit ideas... Plus a personalized questionnaire so I understand exactly your expectations. My role is to be your best ally for this session.

  • Color or black & white?

    My images are vivid and vibrant, so mainly in color! But I love slipping in a few black and white shots that reveal another emotion, another intensity. Black & white is for moments when raw emotion takes over everything else.

  • Indoor or outdoor sessions?

    My playground is French Polynesia! So mainly outdoors, to take advantage of this exceptional setting. Beaches, lagoons, mountains, tropical gardens... Why lock ourselves inside when we live in paradise? But if your project requires intimacy or a particular atmosphere, we can also create something unique indoors.

  • What happens if it rains?

    Rain in Polynesia? It can be magical! Tropical showers, rainbows, dramatic light... But if it really spoils our moment, we postpone without worry. Your experience must be perfect.

  • Can we reschedule a session?

    Of course! Illness, capricious weather, unexpected events... Life happens. We'll find a new date that works for both of us. The important thing is that you live your session in the best conditions.

  • Do you deliver raw photos?

    Never. What I deliver to you are finished works, edited with my unique signature. Raw photos are like an uncut diamond: they haven't yet revealed all their beauty. My post-processing work is an integral part of my art.

  • Where can the session take place?

    I specialize in Tahiti and Moorea, but I travel throughout all the islands of French Polynesia for projects that inspire me. We don't lack dream settings here: beaches, mountains, lagoons, waterfalls... or even in wild nature. You prefer shooting at your accommodation or hotel? No problem (just think to check if the establishment allows a photographer's presence).

    I also offer sessions in my home studio in Faa'a, ideal for maternity shoots, solo portraits or brand projects. My studio is mobile, and I can come directly to you if needed.

  • Can you retouch my face or body?

    Yes... and no! I gladly erase a small pimple, a rebellious hair or a stain on your outfit. However, I won't redo your face or make you lose 10 kilos digitally. You're magnificent as you are, and my photos are there to highlight it with my unique signature.

  • Should I order my prints through you?

    You're not obligated to, but I highly recommend it. By going through your online gallery, I can guarantee quality printing and colors consistent with my retouching. If you go to another printer, I can't ensure the same rendering of my vivid and vibrant images.

  • What if I have particular ideas or accessories?

    I'm not a big fan of imposed accessories, but I have available a magnificent refined and elegant wardrobe, created by a Tahiti stylist, especially for pregnant women. Flower crowns and Polynesian accessories are totally welcome to add an authentic atmosphere!

    If you have objects or ideas that are dear to your heart (musical instrument, favorite outfit, etc.), let's discuss it: everything is possible to tell your story.

  • How does a large group session work?

    For XXL families or large groups, we take time to capture all combinations (parents/children, siblings, etc.). If you have a specific list, don't hesitate to send it to me so we can check off each desired photo. Rate adjustments may apply depending on group size.

  • Do you offer mini sessions?

    No. I prefer that we live a real moment without stress, where everyone can relax and have fun. Mini sessions can be nice, but I like taking time to create images that truly resemble you and reveal your authenticity.

  • Do you have other questions?

    Send me a little message, I'll be delighted to discuss it with you and plan together the photo session of your dreams! We can connect via my website or on Instagram to start this beautiful adventure.
