The Experience
I don’t like moulds, so I do things a bit differently.
Read below to see what it’s like to work with me, learn about my philosophy behind photography and see some of my most recent work.
Let’s find out if we are a good fit for each other :)

“A shoot with Mathilde is to be with a photographer who puts you at ease, gives you confidence, for a result of a very beautiful quality. Thank you again for everything.”

I want our session together to be a safe space. I won’t make you pose. I won’t make you pretend. I won’t stage anything. If you want to wear makeup, you can, but you don’t have to. I won’t edit your skin or body. You are perfect as you are and I can’t wait for you to see you own light.

As cheesy as it may sound, I don’t see you as a client. I see you as a friend (or friends) with whom I’ll create magic. A photoshoot isn’t good because of the model or the photographer alone. It is good because there is a connexion between them. I want you to feel safe, to enjoy your time & experiment with me for the sake of art.

My jam is capturing people who believe in the value of meaningful, authentic photographs that will last a lifetime. I believe in quality over quantity, anytime, because this is how I serve you best and do my best work. Any film photography lover here? Cool, we’re on the same page :)

I spent most of my teenage years playing with my parents' Kodak camera, and then all the beautiful cameras that passed through my hands. I learned to capture and sublimate faces, places, objects and light over the past 13 years.
Photography has always given me a sense of belonging and immense satisfaction. It is my favorite way to stop time.
It is not just about pretty pictures for me. I am not here to just hold a camera and shoot. I am your mirror. I am here to hold a safe space, meet the real you and give my all to translate it visually with kindness and care.
See what a photoshoot with me feels like.

« Thank you Mathilde for all these memories! You are the first person to make me feel comfortable in front of a camera. You can trust Mathilde with your eyes closed, she will put you at ease, guide you, give you a little boost of confidence! She creates beauty! »
« I just loved this shoot with Mathilde. I wanted pretty pictures of myself and I didn’t necessarily dare to have my picture taken before... you know, we often think “people will think I’m a narcissist if I take pictures of myself...”, and in fact not at all. This personalized shooting with her made me feel like me. Mathilde made me feel comfortable and confident from the start. I just can’t wait to relive this experience with her in a second self love shoot! Thank you Mathilde, you make things so beautiful around you. »
« It is thanks to Mathilde that we can revisit the memory of our wedding day. The photos she took during the ceremony at the town hall, the portraits in the streets of Paris and on the banks of the Seine, and the wedding meal at the restaurant, are all magical! She has a sweetness and energy that will enchant your day with her. »
« A shoot with Mathilde is the best way to love yourself and feel pretty. She knows how to make you feel confident, to see the beautiful and to capture the moment. And when you see the photos, you feel so much emotion! For me, it’s a very difficult exercise but Mathilde’s gentleness and talent made me want to do it again. »
