Chapter XI

L’Ordre du Dragon

14 and 15 November 2026

Book my session

Beyond the known kingdoms lies a land where the mountains seem to touch the sky. For centuries, a dragon has dwelt in these isolated reaches. For generations, the Order of the Dragon has kept watch over its sanctuary. Today, the gates of the Court open to new guardians. Some will come alone, others will choose to pass through the gates as two.

The outfit

Two outfits are planned. More feminine: a sublime full suit of armour in steel and mail, paired with a simple dress (French sizes 34 to 40/42, laced at the back). More masculine: pieces of armour laid over a tabard in the colours of Valdyr.

The set

An ancient hall of the Court, where the Dragon’s emblem flutters in the wind behind you: your official portrait, framed by the banners of Valdyr.

The make-up

The complexion stays luminous and natural; the eyes deepen in shades of bronze, brown or deep green.

Boudoir de Noël

21 and 22 November 2026

Book my session

At Christmas, there are the gifts we choose, wrap and place neatly at the foot of the tree. And then there are the ones nobody is expecting. A portrait of you, magnificent, sensual, carefully conceived to be given to the one you love.

The outfit

Deep red, delicate white, feathers and precious details. A negligee inspired by the Christmas wardrobe, and a large red drape for a second series of images, softer and more timeless.

The set

No tree covered in multicoloured garlands here. A more hushed, more precious, more cinematic Christmas: warm light, soft textures, branches, golden details, deep velvet red and a few touches of white.

The make-up

A beauty look designed for the portrait: luminous complexion, defined eyes and an elegant mouth.

Spéciale Noël, for families

28 and 29 November 2026

Book my session

There are memories that travel through the years without ever losing their magic. Once again this year, I invite you to experience a Christmas mini-session at my studio in Toulouse, transformed for the occasion into a film set.

A choice of two sets

Saturday: Santa’s mail room. The most secret place at the North Pole, among mail sacks, parcels, stamps and old papers.

Sunday: the snowy gate. A more wintry atmosphere, with a touch of magic. Hats, gloves and scarves recommended!

For the whole family

Families, couples, siblings, children, grandparents, or even your faithful four-legged companion!

Chapter XII

Blanche Neige

5 and 6 December 2026

Book my session

Once upon a time, there was a young woman whose story we thought we knew. For this last mini-session of the year, I invite you to rediscover Snow White through the aesthetic of Renaissance paintings and the poetry of the tales of old: a heroine both gentle and mysterious.

The outfit

A delicately shaded blue corset by Lacemade, a flowing golden-yellow chiffon skirt and generous sleeves, made by RrawCrafts. French sizes 34 to 40/42, adjustable lacing; for another size, contact me.

The set

A mysterious garden, almost unreal, where branches intertwine around a clearing of golden light. Red apples dot the foliage, while a castle can just be made out in the distance.

The make-up

A delicately worked complexion, subtly defined eyes, lips in a shade of raspberry red or garnet.
