Mathias Deleau Photographie

Mathias Deleau is a family photography specialist based in Carcassonne. Since 2020 he has favored a warm, human approach to telling family stories — from couple portraits to maternity sessions, newborns and children. His signature is natural, spontaneous and tender images that reflect genuine emotion and family connection. At Studio 13 Bellevue, each session is designed as a friendly, relaxed experience. Mathias helps families feel comfortable with a calm, caring manner: an initial conversation to prepare the shoot, simple directions and playful prompts to make children laugh, followed by gentle guidance to capture authentic images without artifice. The atmosphere is playful and relaxed — ideal for catching looks, gestures and the little everyday moments that make family portraits so rich. The safety and comfort of the very young are a priority during newborn sessions. Mathias works at a pace that suits babies, with breaks and soothing handling to create peaceful, respectful images. For maternity sessions he favors elegant framing and flattering light to highlight the beauty of expectant parents. What sets Mathias apart is his eye for detail and his ability to tell a story through images: textures, glances and small moments that become precious memories. He combines a documentary sensitivity with carefully considered compositions to deliver photographs that withstand the passage of time. Client relationships are at the heart of his work: attentive listening, practical advice on preparing for the session, and guidance when selecting images. In addition to his core photography services, Mathias also offers workshops and courses for those who wish to improve their photographic skills — a complementary offering that helps photography-minded families better understand the image-making process. For families in Carcassonne and the surrounding region, Mathias Deleau Photography provides an authentic, professional approach to capture life’s important milestones: births, child portraits, group sessions and family gatherings. Each gallery aims to convey true emotion and to deliver lasting memories.
