Under Her Wing — A Summer Story by @troisradis

Summer, for photographer Mathilde (@troisradis), is a season where everything overflows: the sunshine, the laughter, and the chips.

In this dreamy visual story, captured with her own family in the French countryside, Mathilde invites us into their version of summer — barefoot days, garden kingdoms, and apéros between two water fights.

“We rarely know what day it is. The garden becomes our kingdom, and the kids invent a thousand games per minute. Between two water battles, we host very serious apéros, with heated debates about who finished the bag of chips.”

It’s a joyful mess — full of wet hugs, flushed cheeks, soaked clothes, and fleeting moments you wish you could bottle forever.

Each character has a role: the father, commander of all aqua-tactical operations, rolling dramatically in the grass.

The son, five and fearless, deepens his voice two octaves every time he takes aim.

The youngest, a chip lover, is ready to play… but not too much, because water is… well, wet.

And then, the mother hen — the heart of it all — drying little hands, offering hugs, snacks, and shelter beneath her wings.

She protects, she dries, she refuels, all while laughing out loud at these wonderfully absurd battles.

Mathilde shares:

“We love to think of our children as playmates, and it’s such a joy to fully play alongside them every single day.”

While she’s often the one capturing others, this time she turned the lens inward. Her partner stays home with the children, and when she’s away for work, she admits she still worries about the little things: sunscreen, hats, hydration…

“That’s probably what still makes me a true mère poule at heart.”

This tender story ends with something deeply personal — a note about extended breastfeeding with Zola, now three years old. A quiet bond that hasn’t quite said goodbye.

“I’m still keeping her a little bit under my wing.”
