Family photographer in Canteleu, Bastien Vallée captures tenderness between parents and children. Newborn sessions, child portraits and family events with a documentary, compassionate eye.
I’m Bastien Vallée, a photographer based in Canteleu whose practice focuses primarily on family photography. My work arises from an attention to relationships, everyday gestures and the small moments that, taken together, tell a story. Whether it’s a newborn session, a tender interaction between siblings, or a family celebration, I aim to create images that remain true to real emotions, without artifice. My approach blends documentary sensitivity with the calm of portraiture. I like to slow the pace — sometimes shooting with my Leica on film — to let situations breathe and to catch the looks and exchanges that don’t reveal themselves on command. This method allows me to capture natural, intimate and lasting images, far from forced poses. My goal is that your photos reflect your family as it is, with its laughter, silences and small routines. Working with me means prioritizing trust and simplicity. I set a caring environment where children can be themselves and parents can find softness in the moment. I place great importance on the human relationship — explaining, reassuring, suggesting without rushing — so the session unfolds in a relaxed atmosphere. I adapt to places that suit you: at home, outdoors or in a space we choose together. I naturally cover newborn sessions and children’s portraits, and I also accompany important family moments (baptisms, communions, birthdays) when you want to preserve an honest memory of these events. My approach remains consistent: discretion, sensitivity and respect for what is real. For me, photography is a form of testimony. It captures fragments of life that are revisited with emotion years later. If you are looking for a family photographer in Canteleu who values authenticity, attention to detail and a human connection, I would be honored to tell your story through images.
