Vanessa Renault Photographe

Based in Orleans, Vanessa Renault is a family photographer who focuses on the present moment and the genuine connections between family members. Her approach is first and foremost human: she builds a soft, reassuring cocoon where every member of the family can feel free to be themselves. Her eye seeks authenticity — those gestures, looks and laughs that tell your story — and turns them into timeless images. What sets Vanessa apart is her ability to combine artistic sensitivity with kindness. Trained and experienced in working with families and young children, she adapts her pace and methods so sessions unfold calmly and naturally. Whether it’s an outdoor shoot that encourages play and natural light or a refined, intimate studio session, Vanessa gently guides poses and prioritizes the candid moments that reveal the true nature of your bond. Her work is fully tailored: before the session she takes the time to talk with you to understand your wishes, favorite colors and the mood you want to preserve. On location she applies her attention to detail — choice of framing, subtle staging, small tricks to ease children — to produce images that are both sincere and aesthetic. The goal is not to force a pose, but to create the conditions for tenderness and spontaneity to arise naturally. Vanessa places great importance on preserving and passing on these memories. She supports clients through every stage of the photographic project: preparation, session, image selection and final delivery, always with an elegant and respectful approach. If you want to capture moments related to the arrival of a newborn, a baby’s early milestones or a first birthday, Vanessa conducts these sessions with the same gentleness, paying particular attention to the safety and comfort of little ones. Choosing Vanessa Renault means choosing a listener: a patient, passionate photographer who places emotion and simple beauty at the heart of her work. If you’re looking to freeze the warmth of a family moment in Orleans — an afternoon at the park, a stroll at sunset or an intimate studio session — Vanessa welcomes you to create images together that will endure for years.
