L'ATTRAPE REVE

What L'ATTRAPE REVE does

L'Attrape Rêve is a sole proprietorship photography studio and perinatal wellness center founded around 2007 by Ulrike Fournet and based in Sotteville-lès-Rouen, France. The studio specializes in newborn, pregnancy, family, and wedding photography, with a secondary service line offering perinatal wellness services including prenatal and postnatal massage, breastfeeding preparation workshops, physiological babywearing instruction, baby massage, and emotional baby reflexology. The studio operates on a direct-to-consumer, appointment-only model serving individual consumers in the Rouen metropolitan area, with wedding photography extending to broader Normandy and Picardy regions.

The studio's core product is custom portrait photography, distinguished by a natural-light aesthetic and an integrated wellness-photography offering packaged as 'Cocon' experiences. A notable technical differentiator is the underwater photography service (Photographie Aquatique), performed in a heated private pool with certified safety protocols (Aqua label) and a team including a midwife, freediver, lifeguard, and aquatic photographer. The studio also offers standardized services such as ID photos. The team is led by Ulrike Fournet (photographer, perinatal companion, certified Ambassadrice Bien Naître) and Aurore (second photographer specializing in weddings).

The business monetizes through a multi-tier pricing model: a non-refundable 100€ booking deposit per session, tiered session fees (e.g., 350€ pregnancy/family sessions, 1,800€+ weddings), and post-session upsells (digital packages at 350–680€, albums at 150–600€, prints). Perinatal wellness services are sold as standalone units (50–70€ per workshop, 65€ per massage) or bundled into the Cocon packages (280€ prenatal, 380€ postnatal). The firm employs approximately 6 people, holds no outside funding, and relies on organic marketing through two Instagram accounts, a Facebook page, a content blog, and word-of-mouth referrals.

Revenue model

1. Photography Sessions: One-time service fees for photo sessions (newborn, pregnancy, family, wedding, boudoir, underwater). Pricing is tiered by session type and includes a booking fee (100€) deducted from the final package price. Clients then separately purchase digital images, albums, or prints as add-ons.
2. Digital Images and Prints: Clients purchase digital photo files (10 photos or full digital package) or physical products (albums, framed prints, passe-partout) after the session. This creates upsell revenue beyond the base session fee.
3. Gift Cards (Bons Cadeaux): Prepaid gift cards sold for photography sessions and perinatal services, driving advance revenue and new customer acquisition.
4. Perinatal Wellness Services: Individual massage and workshop sessions (prenatal massage, postnatal reconnection massage, breastfeeding support, baby massage, babywearing, emotional reflexology) sold as standalone services or bundled into 'Cocon' signature packages.

Others

• La Leche League France: French branch of the international breastfeeding-support community that provides the kind of non-judgmental, mother-to-mother perinatal support and breastfeeding preparation that L'Attrape Rêve offers through its workshops. Comparable as an adjacent, non-commercial provider serving overlapping customer needs.
• Natalys: French maternity and early-childhood apparel and lifestyle brand that targets the same expectant-mother and new-parent demographic. Comparable as an ecosystem peer addressing French parents in the perinatal window through retail and content rather than photography services.

Broad incumbents

• Studio Harcourt Paris: Iconic Parisian portrait studio specializing in premium, emotion-driven portraiture (celebrity, family, intimate/boudoir). Comparable as an established French portrait brand whose boudoir and family portrait offerings overlap with L'Attrape Rêve's 'En toute intimité' and family portrait sessions, though at a much higher price tier.
• Weleda: Natural cosmetics and body-care company with a strong maternity, baby massage, and perinatal wellness line. Comparable as a broader incumbent whose branded perinatal content and products intersect with the studio's prenatal massage and baby-massage workshop offerings.
• Mustela (Laboratoire Expanscience): Leading French maternal and baby skincare brand that, like L'Attrape Rêve, occupies the high-trust perinatal wellness space for French parents. Comparable as a broader incumbent whose brand equity and educational content compete for the same expectant-parent attention.
• Lifetouch (Shutterfly): Large-scale North American and European school, family, and event photography operator. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the volume portrait photography segment whose pricing and delivery model contextualize L'Attrape Rêve's premium boutique positioning.

Direct peers

• Anne Geddes: Internationally iconic newborn and infant portrait photographer whose artistic, emotion-led approach to baby photography is the closest stylistic benchmark to L'Attrape Rêve's newborn and pregnancy work. Comparable in subject matter (newborn, baby, maternity portraiture) though operating at global scale rather than a single studio.
