The families who contact me from Ramatuelle look alike: a villa rented for a week or two, three generations scattered the rest of the year across several cities, sometimes several countries — London, Brussels, Geneva, New York — and one stay to be together again. Sometimes with a birthday to celebrate. Sometimes just to be together.
This is exactly what I photograph. The session starts on your terrace, at the hour the light drops behind the pines, then we move down to the beach — l'Escalet, Pampelonne, the coves of Cap Camarat. Everything is arranged online and by phone before you arrive: you give me your dates, I propose the time and the flow, a secure deposit confirms the slot. On the day, you have nothing to manage.
Twenty years of practice, in French and English. Private online gallery within 48 to 72 hours, HD files within 24 hours after your selection, prints shipped worldwide — to several addresses if the family flies home to five different countries.
In twenty years, these photographs will be what is left of the week.
My signature session in Ramatuelle
The family session, from the terrace to l'Escalet.
The scene I find every summer in Ramatuelle: the grandparents sitting on the low wall at l'Escalet, the little ones crouched in the rocks hunting for crabs, the parents torn between watching and laughing. No one is posing — and that is exactly where I work. The session has often started an hour earlier on your villa terrace, when the light drops behind the pines, before heading down to the coves or Pampelonne.
Four people or twenty across three generations, I build the combinations one by one: the full group, each family, each couple, each set of siblings, each parent with each of their children. Larger families usually choose Héritage Familial (€890, up to twelve people, 40 photos) or the Constellations — Premium (€1,290, up to sixteen) and Signature (€1,690, up to twenty, 80 photos, a second set-up for everyone). First packages at €390, fully bespoke from €2,290 beyond twenty.
And a few days later, in the gallery, the favourite photo is almost never the one we planned — it is usually the one with the crabs. Many families then order 30, 50, sometimes 70 additional photographs.
When the stay deserves more than one session
The vow renewal in the vineyards.
In Ramatuelle, the event I am asked for most is not a birthday — it is a couple saying yes again. Twenty or thirty years later, in the vineyards above Pampelonne, in front of children who have grown up and grandchildren who were not born the first time. The evening light cuts through the vine rows, someone reads a few words, and a whole family understands where it comes from. One hour of photography could not tell that story.
I work as dedicated coverage — an evening from €1,490, a full day from €4,500, several days by quote — for vow renewals, milestone birthdays, villa reunions. No forced poses, in the light of the moment. Cinematic video coverage available as an option, fully coordinated: one single point of contact, me.
In Ramatuelle, I also photograph.

Bachelorette session →Simple, start to finish.
The secret of a great session is decided before the session. As soon as your 50% deposit is paid via secure link, you receive my preparation guide: which colours work together facing the sea, which outfits to avoid, how to prepare the children without pressuring them — the result of twenty years of sessions. Before that, everything is simple: you contact me, I call you back within 24 hours, often within 2, and we set the place, the time, the family configuration. The balance is settled on the day, in cash or by card. I arrive 15 to 20 minutes early to meet you and scout the light, outside your session time.
After the session: private gallery within 48 to 72 hours, every photo in colour and in black and white. You select, your HD files arrive within 24 hours, premium prints follow within 5 to 7 business days, shipped worldwide — to several addresses if needed. Additional photos and prints at preferential rates from your gallery, up to large formats — canvas up to 90×150 cm, aluminium and plexiglass up to 50×75 cm. And if it rains, we simply move to the next day.

Frequently asked questions.
Yes — and it is the most common setup here. Terrace, garden, pool, sea view: the place where your family is most at ease usually gives the best images. We can move on to l'Escalet beach, Pampelonne or the vineyards right after, within the same session.
Yes — vow renewals in the vineyards are actually the most frequent event request here, along with milestone birthdays and family reunions. An evening from €1,490, a half day, a full day or several days — at the villa, the beach club, the restaurant. Cinematic video coverage available as an option, one single point of contact from brief to delivery.
Yes — that is how most of my international clients work. Everything is arranged by email, WhatsApp or phone, in English or French. A 50% deposit via secure payment link confirms the date; the balance is settled on the day, in cash or by card. Ideally book 2 to 3 weeks before your stay, though last-minute slots are often available.
It is one of my favourite sessions. Héritage Familial (€890) covers up to twelve people, 40 HD photos. At sixteen, Constellation Premium (€1,290, two hours); at twenty, Constellation Signature (€1,690, 2h30, 80 photos, a second set-up for everyone). Beyond that, fully bespoke from €2,290. Every configuration — grandparents, siblings, couples — leaves with its image.
L'Escalet offers coves, rocks and a golden late-afternoon light — ideal for families and couples. Pampelonne is the great beach, the space, the legendary atmosphere. Depending on your villa, the hour and the group's energy, I guide you to the right spot — or we do both.
Yes, I work in French and English. A large share of the families staying in Ramatuelle villas are international — British, Belgian, Dutch, Swiss, American.
