Small presentation behind the lens
I introduce myself, my name is Laurane, and I have the huge chance to be a happy mom since I was 19. My big, Aaron born in 2013, (10 years), then Manéo born in 2015 (8 years), followed by Élléana born in 2017 (6 years) and our little last Aliénor born in 2020 (4 years).
I am very lucky to be able to take care of and enjoy my children on a daily basis since their birth, working from home, and my children practicing family education.
In 2014, I created my kennel to live my lifelong passion for the canine species. I did a BEPA Elevage Canin, followed by a Bac Pro, then I settled on my own, and the breeding progressed, until we had about fifty dogs, and about 150 puppies born every year at home. You can find the breeding site here: https://www.freres-des-loups.com/
Passionate about photos since always, I have had fun for years taking hundreds and hundreds of photos of my dogs, to learn retouching. All puppies born at home are entitled to one photo session per week, so that future families can follow the evolution of their babies. So I naturally, for several years, invested in many photo funds, first for my puppies, and my dogs, as well as in photo equipment, lenses, flashes, lights etc ...
Photographing my cats, dogs, and puppies for about ten years, there is no problem to take also your small animals during a session, I have more than usual;)
Since childhood, I have always been passionate about the whole fantasy - magic - science fiction universe.
It was therefore natural when we had children to immerse them in this universe, and to make them known all Disney, Marvel, Comics etc...
My children are passionate about costumes that are costumed almost every day. : D We have dozens and dozens of costumes, with 2 huge cabinets full of dresses, costumes, accessories etc ...
I have been taking them in disguise for years, staging sets, so it naturally came to me gradually the idea of opening a studio, first for friends and family, then for other families and the public gradually.
Being absolute fans of Disney, we have for several years the Annual Disney passes and we do at least 1 time by me the trip Brittany - Country of Mickey;)
My relatives will confirm, I have always been passionate about photos. Always. I always "annoyed" everyone to take pictures, to take photos permanently, of all the places where I pass. ☺ I like the staging, the accessorization. ♥
From 2020, I make the decision to reduce farming a little. Indeed, having a progressive bone disease, I have a lot of pain, amplified by effort, and working with dogs is a physical job.
It is therefore necessary to diversify, because increasing the doses of anti pain is not a solution in the long term.
First, we create themed cottages, in a house in the village center.
The company "L'Attrape Rêve" was born. https://www.gite-attrape-reves.com/
The first cottage "Le Romantique" is open on February 5, 2021.
Due to lack of finance, the work is then stopped, but we would like to open "Le Tropical" in 2024, then "Sous les Mers" in 2026.
At the same time, I decided to pursue my photography goal, and to train myself to no longer remain only amateur but develop professionally speaking.
I am therefore different trainings, in face-to-face as in distance.
In 2023, I go to train with different photographers, I leave home, 1 week, 2 weeks ... To learn from colleagues the techniques of newborn photography, the safe positioning of infants, family photography, pregnancy, mini sessions, themed sessions. Then the mastery of various retouching software, staging, lighting games ...
In 2024, I go to train in trainings that are important to me as well but in a different register. iris photography, as well as underwater photography (having opened a studio in Phuket).
I am still thirsty to learn in different photographic fields, so we will see what novelties I would offer you next!
