Maternity photographer in Málaga

In Málaga the season of the pregnancy matters more than the calendar of the session. If weeks 30 to 34 fall between December and April, the outdoor version is easy: 18 degrees, sun on the beach, and a low light that does not ask anyone to stand in the heat. If they fall in July or August, you are photographing at a humid 32 degrees, swollen ankles included, and the honest options are the last hour of the day or the flat itself. Málaga’s south-facing coast helps here, because a south window carries sun deep into a room in winter and soft light the rest of the year. Playa de la Misericordia, heading west as the sun goes down, is nearly empty on winter evenings and needs no more than a walk from the car.

When to book in Málaga

Between December and April the beach is at its kindest for this: the sun is low from mid-afternoon, and sunset comes at around six in December, so an outdoor session finishes before the evening chill. Bring a wrap for the walk back all the same. May and June still work outdoors if the session starts in the last ninety minutes before sunset. From late June the sun sets after half past nine and the beaches stay busy until it does, which is why a July or August session is usually indoors in the morning. Calima days are the other exception: the sky turns flat ochre for two or three days, and as that shows up on the forecast, we move the date rather than shoot through it.
