« … I’m actually pregnant, and I would have liked to have taken some photos surfing on a longboard if possible. « 

When I received this message from Emilie I was very flattered at first that she thought of me to photograph her. Then I realized that I had never photographed a pregnant woman before! A completely different style with different codes, I am offered a shoot that goes out of my comfort zone.

After all, that’s the job of a photographer, pushing your limits, exploring other styles, other ideas!

I meet Emilie, she takes to the water and there I am speechless. I see her dancing on her surfboard in front of me, not an unbalanced movement she becomes one with her baby as if she only has her own weight to carry.

Following this surf session, I shot portraits of Emilie. A moment of sharing that I really enjoyed and made me want to shoot more pregnancies in the future

Téa was born 20 days after these photos and I can’t wait to photograph her hanging five like her mom!
