Maternity photographer in Barcelona

Weeks 30 to 34 land in whatever weather the city has that month, and the sensible location changes with it. Indoors, many Eixample flats come with tall windows, a balcony or a gallery and old tiled floors, which is all window light needs. Outdoors, the hills are the evening subject, but they are hills: the Bunkers del Carmel is a climb, and the enclosure is open only from nine in the morning to half past seven in summer (half past five in winter), so its good light falls outside the gate as often as inside, which makes it a poor plan for the third trimester. In July and August, when 31 degrees at 70 per cent humidity is hard on anyone, indoors is the kinder answer, or Bogatell at sunrise while the sand is still cool. From autumn to spring it is easy: a session at four in the afternoon on Montjuïc has low, gentle light and nobody rushing you.

When to book in Barcelona

Book for weeks 30 to 34 and then look at the calendar. If those weeks fall between June and September, choose sunrise on the beach or a session at home in the morning, when the flat is still cool; afternoons outdoors in that humidity are uncomfortable. From October to May late afternoon outdoors is pleasant, and in winter the light is warm and low from about four. Keep a second date in reserve: pregnancy is not the moment to push through a rainy day, and moving the session costs nothing if the weather turns.
