Ekaterina Kudinova Photographe

I am Ekaterina Kudinova, a photographer based in Chartres, and my work places family at the heart of every image. Since 2018 I have been helping families create photographs that tell a story — yours — with sincerity and subtlety. My philosophy is simple: favor authenticity over posed stiffness and use natural light to reveal gazes, gestures and the little details that make a home truly beautiful. As a specialist in family photography, I enjoy building a relationship of trust with each household. Before the session I take the time to talk with you to understand your routines, wishes and the atmosphere you want to see in your images. On the day of the shoot I create a relaxed, friendly environment — often outdoors or at home — so children feel free and adults can be themselves. My aim is to capture spontaneous moments: laughter, knowing looks, quick hugs, and those little instances that will become precious when you look at your photos in ten years' time. My specialties include family portraits, sessions with children and babies, newborn photography and baptism ceremonies. I pay particular attention to light and contrast to give depth and emotion to every image. For individual women’s portrait sessions I also offer a caring approach designed to reveal self-confidence and inner beauty — always in continuity with my family and relationship work. Working with me means choosing a photographer who values naturalness, patience and sensitivity. I work with families around Chartres and throughout Eure‑et‑Loir, adapting to your constraints and favorite locations. If you have a commercial project linked to your brand identity, I’m happy to discuss it, but my primary expertise remains dedicated to families and portraits. If you want timeless memories of your family — whether a session with your baby, a child portrait or photos after a baptism — let’s talk about your idea. I’m here to transform your emotions into images you will cherish forever.
