🇬🇧 

Des photographies sincères de votre quotidien, à domicile ou dans les lieux qui comptent pour votre famille.

Basée dans les Hauts-de-France, je me déplace partout en France,
notamment à Paris et en région parisienne, pour raconter votre histoire telle qu'elle est aujourd'hui.


A Family documentary photography session  is all about capturing the real, raw, and everyday magic that makes your family yours. 


No posing, no planning—just real moments of life unfolding naturally. All you have to do is be yourselves and enjoy the time together. You don’t need a fancy event or a spotless house—your ordinary, everyday moments are what make your family unique. 

Whether you're baking cookies, playing in the backyard, or having a lazy Sunday morning, these little slices of life are the ones you'll treasure. Vacations, celebrations, or just a regular day at home—it’s all worth remembering!


Embrace the mess, the laughter, the tears, and the chaos! Life isn’t about perfection—it’s the spontaneous hugs, the mischievous giggles, the not-so-clean faces, and even the occasional tantrums that you’ll look back on and smile. These are the moments that make life beautifully real.


Let me join you as your storyteller, capturing the genuine love, connection, and craziness that make your family unforgettable. 
Let’s make memories that’ll bring smiles and happy tears for years to come!

Pourquoi choisir une séance documentaire famille ?

Dans vingt ans, ce ne sont probablement pas les vêtements assortis ou les sourires parfaitement posés qui vous émouvront le plus.

Ce seront les détails du quotidien.

La façon dont votre enfant se blottissait contre vous pour lire une histoire.
Les jeux improvisés dans le salon.
Les petits rituels du matin.
La chambre remplie de dessins, de livres et de jouets qui disparaîtront un jour sans que vous vous en rendiez compte.

La photographie documentaire famille consiste à préserver ces moments ordinaires qui deviennent extraordinaires avec le temps.

Mon rôle n'est pas de mettre en scène votre famille. J'observe, j'accompagne et je photographie ce qui se passe naturellement, afin de créer un témoignage authentique de votre vie aujourd'hui.

Une séance photo à domicile,
sans stress et sans poses

Contrairement à une séance photo traditionnelle, il n'est pas nécessaire de préparer une tenue particulière ou de prévoir des activités exceptionnelles.

Votre maison fait partie de votre histoire.

C'est là que votre famille vit, grandit, joue, cuisine, rit et traverse les différentes étapes de la vie.

Je vous rejoins dans votre environnement et vous laisse vivre votre journée presque comme si je n'étais pas là.

Les enfants peuvent jouer, dessiner, courir dans le jardin ou rester en pyjama toute la matinée.

Les plus belles images naissent souvent lorsque chacun oublie la présence de l'appareil photo.

Why doing a documentary session ?

Les photographies prennent de la valeur avec le temps.

Chaque année qui passe transforme les images d'aujourd'hui en archives familiales.

Les objets du quotidien, la décoration de votre maison, les habitudes de vos enfants, votre manière de vivre ensemble : tout cela évolue plus vite que nous ne l'imaginons.

La photographie documentaire permet de conserver une trace fidèle de cette période de votre vie afin que vos enfants puissent un jour redécouvrir leur histoire familiale à travers vos images.
Basée en Baie de Somme, je réalise régulièrement des séances documentaires famille à Paris, en Île-de-France et dans les Hauts-de-France.

Je me déplace également partout en France pour les familles qui souhaitent conserver une trace sincère de leur quotidien.

Je travaille en français, en anglais et en japonais, ce qui me permet d'accompagner aussi bien les familles françaises que les familles internationales installées en France.

Des souvenirs pour vos enfants et petits-enfants

Séances documentaires à Paris, en région parisienne et partout en France

Send me a message through my contact form, and let’s start chatting about your perfect session! We’ll discuss your family, your availability, and the ideal session length.

If you’re unfamiliar with documentary sessions or not sure if this style suits your family, feel free to ask. I’m happy to answer any questions and help you decide what's best for you!

1. Say Hello

After we chat and decide we are a great fit for each other, we'll pick a date. The good thing about in-home documentary session is that we don't need to worry about the weather. 

Next, you'll receive a link to sign your agreement, along with an invoice for your retainer and a questionnaire. Once you sign the agreement and I receive the retainer, that's it! We are all set! 

2. booking your session

The more I get to know your family beforehand, the better I can anticipate those special moments during the session, ensuring the final pictures truly reflect what you’re looking for. We can talk about your favorite family activities, your kids' personalities, and what matters most to you in your family life.

It’s also helpful to let your kids see that we’ve already connected before the session. That way, they’ll feel more comfortable and at ease right from the start!

3. video call

The beauty of an in-home documentary session is that you can simply live your day as usual. Whether you're still in your pajamas or relaxing in bed, it’s all about capturing real moments from your everyday life.

I’ll spend a few hours with you, sometimes like a ninja, quietly in the background, and other times chatting like an old friend. But don't worry, there will be no instructions or posing from me—just authentic, natural moments.

Just a heads-up: I’m there as your photographer, not a babysitter! So, please keep an eye on your little ones as you normally would.

4. session day

Get ready for the exciting part! Session galleries are typically available for viewing within a week, and I strive to have them ready as quickly as possible.

Once the gallery is set, we’ll schedule a viewing session. You can choose to meet online, in the comfort of your home, or even at a café.

During the session, you’ll have the chance to explore all the images, and I’ll present the artworks I’m suggesting. Feel free to select the collection that best suits your needs and consider the artwork credits.

You can make your decisions during the session or take your time afterward—I won’t rush you.

If you’d prefer an online session but want to see some product samples to feel the fabrics, just let me know in advance, and I’ll be happy to show them to you after our session.

5. Your pictures are ready !!

What people say about Nao

Let's create beautiful artworks !!

Every collection I offer includes an artwork credit, giving you the freedom to transform your memories into stunning albums, framed prints, or other beautiful keepsakes. In a world dominated by digital files, you might wonder why I emphasize physical artwork. Here are a few reasons why these tangible treasures matter:

Artworks

Preserve Your Memories for Generations

If your computer or hard drive fails, you risk losing everything—or facing costly recovery fees. Technology evolves rapidly, and storage tools that were once cutting-edge, like floppy disks and CD-ROMs, are now obsolete. How many of us still have a computer with a floppy disk drive? Even CD-ROM readers are becoming rare, and I know firsthand how difficult it can be to retrieve old photos stored on outdated formats, like my own student photos trapped on forgotten CDs.

In contrast, high-quality albums and framed prints are timeless. They endure, becoming heirlooms that can be passed down through generations. Consider this: after the devastating tsunami in Japan in 2011, volunteers worked tirelessly to recover photo albums and prints, helping families reclaim memories they thought were lost forever. These physical treasures held irreplaceable value.

I still have photographs from my childhood, taken over 40 years ago, that remain vibrant and intact—something that would be unlikely if they were stored solely on a phone or computer.

When you invest in printed artwork, you are not just preserving memories; you are creating a legacy that will stand the test of time. Let us transform your moments into something tangible, beautiful, and everlasting.

Printed Pictures Hold Their Value.

Photographs truly come alive when printed and displayed. While smartphones and computers offer convenience, scrolling through folders or squinting at tiny screens can never compare to the joy of holding a beautifully crafted album or admiring a framed print on your wall.

An album transforms your images into a tangible story, one that is easily accessible and meant to be enjoyed. It invites you to relive your favorite moments, share them with loved ones, and create a lasting legacy that digital files simply cannot replicate.

Let us turn your memories into something you can touch, cherish, and pass down for generations.

Preserve Your Memories Without the Hassle

In our busy lives, finding the time to create albums or print photos can feel overwhelming. I understand this struggle all too well—I have countless pictures of my own children, yet I, too, have fallen behind on turning them into albums.

That is why, with every session, I ensure you receive at least one stunning physical artwork to display in your home. This not only saves you the time and effort of organizing and printing but also guarantees that your memories are preserved in a beautiful, tangible form.

Let me take care of the details, so you can focus on enjoying the moments that matter most.

Exceptional Quality, Curated for You

I have carefully vetted printing services and artisans to ensure your artworks are crafted with the highest quality materials and attention to detail. This not only guarantees stunning results but also saves you the time and effort of researching options yourself.

I am happy to bring samples to your consultation, so you can see and feel the exceptional quality firsthand. This allows you to choose with confidence, knowing your memories will be preserved in the most beautiful and lasting way possible.

I highly recommend Nao for her documentary photography. Besides being incredibly friendly and approachable, she truly knows how to adapt to the needs of families, capturing key moments in family life. The expressions, gestures, and poses are beautifully enhanced. Moreover, her professionalism allows her to be present without being intrusive, making both children and adults feel at ease. The memories she captures for us are priceless. She has an eye for detail; nothing is left to chance, and the results are always guaranteed.

I strongly encourage you to work with Nao, as she will provide you with photos that not only reflect who you are but also elevate the moments you cherish. I've enlarged and framed several of her photos, which are always admired by our family and friends. Not to mention the personalized calendars that were such a hit with the grandparents!

We experienced 3 family photo sessions with Nao in France : Christmas , Windows and Lockdown. The different sessions took place at home in real life.

Christmas session was the first time with Nao, it was an amazing experience. My 3 children were so excited to open boxes with decorations and to put them on the Christmas tree. Nao took photos every moment and we saw the different emotions. Nao never stopped taking photos so we got many photos and I realized a beautiful Christmas book and greeting cards.

Nao is very patient with children , it’s just like she is invisible but she always knows how to take the best picture, to capture the best emotion, to catch the best expression.
Nao is very respectful of your private life and your image rights. She is very professional.
Her work is very serious and she sends you the pictures quickly.
Good job Nao ! 🤩 📸 😍

Through multiple photo-shoots in different set ups, from the home documentary style to an outdoor bluebonnet session, to a studio-style session, Nao was able to capture the magic of each moment in the different atmosphere.

Looking back at the pictures, for some taken years ago, is a real time travel that recreates the feelings of that perfect so un-perfect moment in our messy life. A good reminder to enjoy the present that Nao perfectly bottled up in a time capsule for the future.

I highly recommend Nao, she was able to make herself part of our environment, disappearing to be able to capture genuine moments of everyday life. She was also able to kindly guide us during the outdoor sessions, to make the experience natural, and recreate that “at-home” feeling.
Her artistic eye and the quality of the work gave us timeless pieces to proudly share with family and expose at home for years to come. We loved it!

Nao captured our hectic life in such a beautifully relaxed way.

My three children interacting just as they always do, my little boy beaming happily on my back etc.

 I’m truly grateful to have my family documented through Nao's perspective. Life may be busy, but these precious images give me the energy I need to keep going.

Notified at the last minute for a maternity photo session, Nao was incredibly responsive and attentive. She made us feel at ease right away, offering clear and simple instructions, always with a smile! We had such a great time, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning!

After the amazing experience with our maternity photos, we reached out to Nao again to capture our daughter's first birthday. Once again, we are thrilled with the family photos she took. Beautiful, heartfelt moments of life were captured with such talent, leaving us with precious memories to cherish forever!
