Barrigochas is your Lugo studio specializing in pregnancy photography. Natural, elegant maternity sessions guided to make you feel comfortable and capture unique memories.
I am Manuel Carballedo, the photographer behind Barrigochas — a project born from the joy of photographing my own child and today a reference studio in Lugo for maternity photography. My training as a graphic designer and my recent experience as a father shape a careful visual approach: I aim for images that are natural, elegant and emotionally true, photos that last over time. At Barrigochas I focus on pregnancy photography because I believe this moment deserves to be told calmly and with aesthetic intention. My maternity sessions are designed so the mother (and the partner, if desired) feel at ease: no forced poses, just simple and professional guidance that allows spontaneity to emerge. I work with light and fabrics, sober compositions and sincere gestures to highlight femininity and the couple’s connection. I recommend scheduling the session when the bump is clearly visible and the expectant mother feels comfortable — my experience helps determine dates that balance belly presence and physical comfort — and I always adapt the pace of the session to the mother’s condition so the experience is enjoyable. My priority during every session is to convey calm and trust. In the studio you will find a warm, close approach: I personally direct the shoot, control the visual atmosphere and care for every detail. The father is welcome to participate actively; often the best images combine intimate portraits of the mother with family moments the baby will appreciate when they grow up. Beyond pregnancy sessions, Barrigochas offers complementary motherhood services that can enrich your portfolio, such as creative activities and physical keepsakes, all carried out with the same care and respect for the family experience. If you are looking for a pregnancy photographer in Lugo who combines sensitivity, technical experience and a humane approach — someone who understands this moment because they have lived it — you will be welcomed at Barrigochas in a warm, professional space tailored so you leave with photographs that truly move you.
