Claudia Azúa Fotografía

I’m Clau, a photographer from Guayaquil now based in Retiro, Madrid. My work in maternity photography comes from the conviction that becoming a mother is one of the most profound moments worth preserving. Under my motto "From the heart to memory," I specialize in maternity photos that capture the tenderness, strength and natural beauty of each pregnancy. My approach is warm and personal: I aim for the maternity session to be a comfortable, attentive experience. Before the shoot we talk to understand your expectations, choose the best location within Madrid and coordinate poses and wardrobe that make you feel like yourself. During the session I prioritize natural light and honest gestures, creating a relaxed atmosphere where connection and authenticity matter most. This way I achieve maternity photos that feel like real moments rather than stiff poses. As a maternity specialist I pay close attention to visual storytelling: I compose images that narrate the story of your waiting — body details, glances, caresses, and the bond with your partner or family when you choose to include them — always respecting your pace and comfort. My editing is delicate and elegant: I enhance tones and textures so the photographs convey warmth and lasting affection without losing naturalness. My work has been recognized in publications and exhibitions (PhotoVogue by Vogue Italia; exhibition in Retiro “El verano de nuestras vidas” — “The Summer of Our Lives”), which reinforces my commitment to quality and artistic sensitivity. If you’re looking for a maternity photo book that preserves the emotion of these months and that you can share with family or keep as a cherished memory, I offer a personalized, close and professional experience here in Retiro, Madrid. If you’d like to learn more or book your maternity session, write to me: it will be a pleasure to accompany you in this special moment and turn the waiting into images that endure.
