People at the heart of my work
Professional portrait photographer, in Walloon Brabant, Brussels and all over Belgium.
A gaze that reveals you
As a portrait photographer, I place the human being at the centre of every session. My eye focuses on what makes you unique: an expression, a posture, a gaze, an emotion. My goal is not simply to photograph you, but to show you with accuracy and authenticity.
Many people tell me they do not feel comfortable in front of the lens. That is precisely where my work begins: guiding you, giving you confidence, creating a reassuring and natural space so the images truly look like you. It is also why I trained in coaching, and hold a certification.
Portraits, corporate photos, family, maternity and newborn sessions: every session is prepared with care and designed to measure, to create sincere, elegant and timeless images.

A photographic project that shines a light on extraordinary life journeys
This photographic project, of which I am the creator and the photographer, was co-created with Catherine Bosman, project lead and author of all the stories. Together, we celebrate those who were born with a particularity, or who have been through ordeals that turned their lives upside down.
One same desire brought us together: to cast a different light on difference, and to show how much certain life journeys make us stronger. To celebrate resilience, and the inner strength that lies within each of us.

Where is your photo studio?
The studio is in Vieux-Genappe, in Walloon Brabant, 7 km from Waterloo and just south of Brussels. It is heated, fully equipped, with private parking on site. I also come to your home, outdoors or to your offices.
What is your photographic style?
My approach is above all natural, authentic and human. I pay close attention to expressions, emotions and each person's personality. I take the time to guide you and put you at ease, so the portraits really look like you.
Retouching is done with care and subtlety, to enhance each image while preserving your natural look, your features and your authenticity. My goal is simple: to show you at your best without ever transforming you.
What kinds of photoshoots do you offer?
I photograph in my professional studio in Vieux-Genappe, near Waterloo, at your home or outdoors.
I offer a range of sessions: individual portraits, women, men, self-esteem, maternity, newborn, baby, children, family and multi-generational portraits, as well as professional, corporate and business portraits.
Every session is tailored to you, with a natural and human approach, to create authentic photographs that really look like you.
Do you offer maternity and newborn photoshoots?
Yes, it is a large part of my work. The maternity session is ideally done between the seventh and eighth month, the newborn one within the first fifteen days. In the studio or at your home, as you prefer.
Which areas do you travel to?
All of Walloon Brabant, Brussels and its municipalities, and anywhere in Belgium on request. Waterloo, Nivelles, Wavre, Lasne, Rixensart, Uccle, La Hulpe, Ottignies and Genappe are a few minutes from the studio.
How much does a photo session cost?
From 400 € for a portrait, maternity or family session, to 500 € for a newborn. The corporate portrait starts at 150 € excl. VAT. Every session includes 10 retouched photographs, in colour and in black and white.
How long before I receive my photos?
About a week after the session, you receive your private online gallery. You choose your 10 favourite images there, which I then retouch one by one before delivering them in high definition.
What my clients say
« Merci pour cette parenthèse de douceur. Tes clichés sont un véritable hymne à la vie qui pousse. Chaque photo semble chuchoter l'amour et la patience de notre famille en devenir. Merci d'avoir su transformer un moment intime en œuvre d'art. »
« Cela fait plus de 6 ans que nous immortalisons tous nos moments de bonheur en famille avec Virginie… et nous ne changerions pour rien au monde. Les photos sont toujours magnifiques, nous gardons de merveilleux souvenirs chaque année. Mille mercis. »
« Faire cette séance avec Virginie était tout simplement exceptionnel. C'était la première fois, et elle a su tout de suite me mettre à l'aise pour que je ressorte le meilleur de moi-même. Cette séance m'a fait tellement de bien. Je recommande à 100 %. »
