Extreme close-up portrait: a blue eye and a mauve iris flower brushing a blonde woman's face

Portrait photographer · Marseille & Provence You. For real.

For your LinkedIn, your website, or simply for yourself. Not to become someone else: to see yourself differently.

You're not “unphotogenic.” You've just never been guided.

I spent several years in front of the camera: I know how it feels when you don't know what to do with your hands. My role is to guide you on every detail (angles, gaze, posture, light) to reveal what you already are: softness, strength, presence. So you leave with images, and a truer view of yourself.

“A photo shoot full of kindness, gentleness and beautiful emotions! Léna put me at ease within the first few minutes. She guided me so naturally, and even showed me a few photos along the way: they were already beautiful. When I saw the edited photos, I was completely amazed.”
Jessica, portrait session
★★★★★
“Léna was attentive to what I expected: she took into account what I wanted, and what I didn't like about myself in photos. She made me look stunning! The location was superb. Léna and her partner created beautiful memories for me and my friend.”
Crystal, portrait session
★★★★★
“I'm so glad I chose Léna for my first professional photo shoot. She takes the time to create the most beautiful images, she puts you at ease, and she's very accommodating, both with the planning and afterwards with the edits. And I got my photos really quickly!”
Lucie, professional portrait
★★★★★
“I did a shoot with Léna in iris fields and it was amazing! She really listens, she's so kind and full of ideas. The photos look beautiful: she really has her own touch, which brings out the softness in the images.”
Mélina, portrait session
★★★★★
“I asked Léna to do a shoot in my private facialist salon. I'm simply dazzled by the result: it's just perfect. Léna really cares about what you expect while staying true to her own style. Choosing Léna means choosing someone trustworthy, talented and, above all, passionate.”

Before the session

We plan a session that feels like you

We talk about how you’ll use your photos (personal, LinkedIn, website), the mood you like, your outfits. I send you my preparation guide (outfits, makeup, hair), and if you have nothing to wear, I’ll lend you an outfit.

The big day

I guide you on every detail

Where to stand, what to do with your hands, how to look at the camera. We start gently, and very quickly you forget the camera. I show you a few images along the way: that’s often when the confidence kicks in.

Images that feel like you

Within 2 to 3 weeks, you receive your private online gallery. You choose your 8 favorite photos, and I edit them one by one, in my style: soft light, skin left true to life, no transformation.

My tips

For a session that feels like you.

What I tell all my clients before their session. And I'm with you for everything else.

01

Choose solid colors

Soft tones or a bold color that suits you, no big patterns or logos. Two or three outfits are enough to vary the images.

02

Natural makeup, a little more defined

Fairly matte, a little bolder than your everyday look. And well-groomed hands: they show more than you’d think.

03

Think about how you’ll use your photos

LinkedIn, website, press, social media: tell me beforehand and I'll plan the right framing (tight, wide, vertical or horizontal).

04

Bring some music

Your favorite playlist in your ears or in the background: nothing better to relax and find your real smile.

Your questions

Everything people ask me, before booking your portrait session.

Tap a question to read the answer.

I'm not photogenic.
I hear it at every session. I used to be a model: I guide you through every detail, the angles, the hands, where to look. You don't need to know how to do anything.
Which images for professional use?
A close-up portrait for LinkedIn, wider images for your website, and in-context photos that show what you do.
How many outfits?
As many as you like, sticking to solid colors. Two or three are usually enough to mix things up.
Should I wear makeup?
Makeup a little more defined than your everyday look, natural and rather matte. If you never wear makeup, a moisturizer and a lip balm are enough.
I don't like seeing myself in photos, is it still possible?
In fact, that's the case for most of my clients. We talk about it beforehand: what you like and what you don't like about yourself. I choose the angles and the light that flatter you, and we go at your own pace.
Do you do portraits of men?
Of course. Professional portraits, creator portraits, or simply for yourself: I guide you the same way, with natural poses.
Can I come with a friend?
Yes, it’s actually a lovely way to relax. Just let me know when you book, and we’ll adapt the session.
Why is the length approximate?
Because I don’t sell a session “by the minute,” I sell a moment. If you need thirty minutes to relax, try on another outfit or change the light, we’ll take them.
Why a selection of 8 photos?
I'd rather deliver a short, strong collection, each photo carefully edited one by one. Fall in love with more photos when you see your gallery? You can add some: €15 per photo, €65 for 5, €120 for 10, €220 for 20.

  1. You choose your outfit online, in the Wardrobe.
  2. I bring it on the day of your session, in your size.

Who we are

Léna, and sometimes Thomas with me.

As a former model, I know how it feels to be in front of the camera. As a former TV journalist, I learned to observe and catch the moment as it unfolds. Thomas, my partner, sometimes comes along, always gentle and discreet.
