Professional photographer in Tahiti and Moorea for honeymoons, proposals and family portraits

Photography services in Tahiti and Moorea

If you're reading this article, it means you have great taste, a keen eye for beauty, and the desire to immortalize your most precious moments in Tahiti, Moorea, or elsewhere in Polynesia. Perfect timing: here, I'll tell you everything about the photo sessions I offer and how to make them a truly unique, elegant, and above all, fun experience!

What types of photo sessions do I offer?

I specialize in family photography, maternity sessions, lifestyle newborn shoots at home, couple portraits, engagement photos, intimate weddings, "trash the dress" sessions, professional headshots, and high-end brand projects. I also shoot special events and all types of creative projects in inspiring locations. If you have an original, bold, or completely wild idea, don't hesitate to share it with me: I'm always up for it!

How long does a photo session last?

Generally, plan between one hour and an hour and a half for a classic session (family, maternity, couple...). But be aware, I don't set a stopwatch: we take time to enjoy, laugh, and relax without pressure. With children, I always prioritize spontaneity and fun to capture natural and joyful moments.

If we spend more than 3 hours together, congratulations: we're officially best friends!

(Obviously, weddings and major events require different timing.)

What's the best time for a photo shoot in Tahiti & Moorea?

The "golden hour," early morning or just before sunset, is ideal for achieving soft, warm, and magical light. It's my favorite time to shoot and enhance your images. But don't worry, I remain flexible according to your availability and schedule.

What budget should I plan for a photo session in Tahiti or Moorea?

My rates vary depending on the nature of the project (family, wedding, branding, professional portrait...). To get a personalized quote, contact me directly through my website. I'll quickly send you a proposal tailored to your expectations. Remember, it's a lasting investment in your memories, with complete service and no hidden fees. I've actually written an article on this subject: about photographer rates in Tahiti and Moorea in 2025.

Where do the sessions take place?

In Tahiti, Moorea, and throughout French Polynesia, you're spoiled for choice: paradise beaches, wild mountains, secret waterfalls, turquoise lagoons... Do you prefer your place or a luxury hotel? No problem, just check with the establishment first. I also offer intimate sessions in my home studio (maternity without children, individual portraits, or brand projects). My studio is mobile: I can come directly to you for more comfort and elegance. (Travel fees may apply outside the usual area.)

Retouching: do you modify my body or face?

Yes and no! I gladly retouch superficial details: small blemish, rebellious hair, stain on clothing... But I never radically transform your appearance. You are perfect just as you are, and my images are there to reveal your natural beauty with authenticity.

Prints and impressions: mandatory through you?

You can order your prints wherever you want, but I strongly recommend going through your private online gallery, accessible from my website. It's the guarantee of high-end prints, perfectly faithful to my artistic retouching.

Social media: can we freely post the photos?

With great pleasure! I simply ask that you respect my artistic style: avoid filters and extreme cropping to keep the emotion and original quality of the images intact.

Accessories, special outfits, or original ideas?

I have available a chic and elegant wardrobe, created by a recognized local stylist in Tahiti, perfect especially for maternity sessions or feminine portraits. I also share with you a style guide to prepare for the session serenely.

Flower crowns and Polynesian accessories are obviously welcome for an authentic and refined touch. If you're attached to personal objects or favorite outfits, let's talk about it to personalize your session as much as possible.

When will you receive your photos?

For a classic session, generally count 2 to 3 weeks, and 6 to 8 weeks for weddings or events. If you have a particular urgency, tell me: I'll do everything possible to satisfy your request (additional fees may apply).

What about large group or XXL family sessions?

We take all the necessary time to capture each combination (parents, children, siblings...). You can also send me a precise list to follow. Note that additional fees may apply to very large groups or gatherings of several families.

Do I offer mini sessions?

No, and it's an assumed choice! My philosophy: "Signature session or nothing." I like to take time to create strong, authentic, and refined images that reflect you. No rushing, no compromises. I promise you a complete, tailor-made experience, with photos that truly represent you. Discover more about my unique approach right here: The signature session.
