What you’ll experience
Why choose Maternity session in San Sebastián?
A session at weeks 30 to 34 depends on how far you can comfortably walk, and La Concha is close to ideal for that: the promenade is flat, and because the bay faces north the light is soft at every hour, so nobody has to wait for the evening to look their best. That lets the time follow your energy rather than the sun. From October to May, at 12 to 16 degrees and grey, the same sky is the reason to work indoors beside a window instead. What we steer away from is the climb up Monte Urgull and the wet rock at Zumaia. Both are beautiful, and neither is a place to be in late pregnancy.
When to book in San Sebastián
The session is usually placed between weeks 30 and 34, and the calendar date that results decides indoor or outdoor more than any preference. From June to September, outdoors is easy, and the soft north light over the bay means a late-morning slot, when energy tends to be better, looks as good as an evening one. In July and August, avoid the busiest hours on the promenade and the Semana Grande week, when crowds make a slow walk tiring. From October to May, with temperatures around 12 to 16 degrees and rain on roughly one day in three, we keep an outdoor date only if you want it and plan an indoor alternative at home for the same day. Low tide matters only if you would like a few steps on the sand.

“An incredible experience from beginning to end. The photographer was very professional, easy to be around, and made us feel comfortable from the first moment. The photographs came out beautiful and caught the essence of the trip perfectly. We would do it again without a doubt.”

Best locations
Where to shoot in San Sebastián.
The flat settings matter most at this stage, and San Sebastián has several close together. The Alderdi Eder gardens beside the city hall are level, with tamarisk trees, benches and the bay in front, and they sit at the start of the promenade, so the session can continue along the balustrade at whatever pace suits you. At the western end, the gardens behind Ondarreta beach are just as easy, and from there the Peine del Viento is a short, level walk, worth it on a calm evening. The Miramar Palace gardens are lovely but slope down towards the sea on gravel paths, so we take only the upper part. For a maternity photographer, the other key consideration is rest: every one of these places has a bench within a few steps and a taxi rank or a car park nearby. Indoors, a room at home with a large window turns the grey of the wet months into something closer to a studio light.
FAQ — Maternity session in San Sebastián
Is walking on the beach at La Concha comfortable in late pregnancy?
At low tide, yes: the sand is hard and wet and you can walk out across it on the level. At high tide the beach shrinks to a strip about twenty metres wide, so we stay on the promenade. We check the tide table when the day is set, and if the steps down to the sand are a problem we skip them.
Can my partner and our older child be in the photographs?
Yes, and on the promenade it works naturally: a child walking ahead on the flat ground or looking over the balustrade gives the pictures movement while you rest. We usually do the family frames first and the portraits of you alone afterwards.
What should I wear on a windy day by the sea?
A fitted dress or top shows the bump even when the wind moves the fabric, which can be lovely. Flowing pieces need a calm day or a sheltered corner of the gardens. Bring a warm layer for the moments between shots; the breeze off the bay cools quickly.
