Carmen Gavilán, a Sabadell photographer specializing in maternity sessions, creates Fine Art pregnancy portraits that are intimate, styled and professionally edited, focused on light and emotion.
I knew from the age of 14 that photography would be my life. After more than a decade working in a photographic studio and opening my own space in 1991, I have devoted myself with enthusiasm and respect to capturing portraits that tell stories. In my studio in Sabadell I have specialized in maternity photography: every maternity session is an opportunity to transform a unique moment into a timeless image. My approach combines the sensitivity of portrait work with the Fine Art aesthetic that I love. I aim for sober, elegant compositions, carefully controlled lighting and refined editing that enhances the naturalness and emotion of the expectant mother. Each Fine Art maternity session is crafted to highlight form, texture and mood while preserving authenticity. As an award-winning photographer and a member of professional organizations (FIAP, the Confederation of Spanish Photography and the Catalan Federation of Photography), I bring technical experience and artistic sensibility to every maternity book and pregnancy session. This professional background allows me to manage both the creative and technical aspects of the shoot with confidence and care. How I work: we begin with a pre-session consultation to discuss your expectations, select wardrobe and props, and define the visual style of the session. In the studio —or at an agreed location if you prefer— I create a relaxed and warm atmosphere so you feel comfortable and at ease. I guide poses to achieve natural, expressive images while always respecting your pace and the intimacy of the process. The session is completed with professional retouching in Camera RAW and Photoshop, applying finishing techniques that enhance skin, texture and color without losing authenticity. Why choose my maternity sessions in Sabadell? Because I offer the combination of long-standing experience, artistic sensitivity and a personal, attentive approach. My images aim not just to document, but to move and endure. In addition to maternity sessions, I teach Fine Art technique workshops for photographers who want to deepen this style from capture to final edit. If you want to turn the wait into images that will accompany you for a lifetime, I would be delighted to join you in this creative process.
