Pastel Photographe

I’m Laure, the photographer behind Pastel Photographe in Villers-lès-Nancy, and I dedicate myself primarily to family photography. My sensitivity comes from my experience working with very young children as a nursery assistant: I know how to read a baby’s reactions, soothe little ones and create a relaxed atmosphere so that each natural moment can be captured. My approach is rooted in a lifestyle aesthetic — I favor naturalness, soft light and genuine emotion over artificial poses. Why choose Pastel Photographe for your family photos? Because kindness and simplicity are my priorities. I love highlighting the bond between you, tender gestures and shared looks, with a soft, timeless aesthetic. During a family session, I strive to build a reassuring environment: we laugh, play and cuddle, and it’s these spontaneous moments that produce the images you’ll keep for a lifetime. My process: before the session we talk to understand your wishes (location, style, important moments). On the day, I focus on patience and attentive listening — whether it’s a family session, baby photography or newborn photography — so everyone feels comfortable. I also offer special sessions such as skin-to-skin, milk-bath or breastfeeding sessions to immortalize uniquely tender moments. After the shoot, I carefully select and retouch the images to faithfully restore the atmosphere and emotions experienced. Family-related specialties: children’s sessions, parent-child portraits, newborn support (baby photography), and coverage of family events like baptisms or communions. I remain primarily positioned as a family photography specialist — that is where my main expertise lies. Based in Villers-lès-Nancy and working around the Nancy area, I am committed to offering you a keepsake that speaks of who you are. If you are looking for a family photographer who works with gentleness, naturalness and empathy, contact Pastel Photographe — I would be delighted to discuss your project and create a session that reflects your family.
