A first baby, and a chapter worth remembering

Originally from Costa Rica, this couple had spent three years living in Hamburg before making their home in Madrid. Now they were expecting their first baby and wanted photographs of this special time together. We met for a maternity photoshoot in Madrid, with El Retiro’s trees, water and pale columns around them.

An August morning in El Retiro

The park gave their maternity photographs a lovely mix of open space and greenery. Along the tree-lined avenue, we made pictures of them together as well as portraits of her and her bump. Their white and pale outfits kept the colours simple, with the darker leaves and the Alfonso XII monument adding depth behind them.

A little glimpse of the baby on the way

Beside the lake, they brought their ultrasound photographs into the pictures. It was a personal detail that made this gallery especially theirs: the two of them, her growing bump and those first little images of the baby. We photographed the wider lakeside setting too, keeping the pale balustrade, water and trees as part of their Madrid memories.

Their ultrasound photographs became a personal part of the session.

Their life before welcoming someone new

The curved colonnade and broad stone steps gave us another beautiful setting, with room for seated portraits, gentle walks and closer photographs together. We kept the attention on this stage of their lives, while letting the architecture give the images a clear sense of Madrid.

After Costa Rica, Hamburg and the move to Spain, these photographs mark a different kind of beginning: their time together while waiting to welcome their first child.
