Barbara e Ignacio: Fotografia de Embarazo, Santiago, Chile

Read on

January 12, 2010

We are so lucky. Another maternity session with another gorgeous family. Some women look uncomfortable during their pregnancy. But Barbara just looks…elegant, radiant, and above all else, happy. Not to mention that she has a good eye for photography. Before I could even finish a sentence she would do what I was about to ask her — Barbara can you…and she’d be tilting her head a little to the left.

And I think that I might be just as passionate about photographing maternity pictures as I am about photographing weddings. Because really, one of my favorite things about photographing weddings is that, above all else, they are intense. The emotions are intense, the love is intense, the air is electric. A maternity session is similar — albeit, at a slightly slower pace. But during so many moments, I saw in Ignacio’s face when he looked at Barbara, the same awe and crushing happiness that I see in a groom’s face when he sees his bride for the first time. And I could hear the incredible tenderness in Barbara’s voice when she talked about holding her little one in just a few weeks. It was intense — and I loved it.

Ignacio is Felipe’s brother — Felipe and Lucie are one of our 2010 couples, and I always feel like it’s such an huge sign of trust when someone recommends us to their own family members, so thank you Lucie!.

Somos muy afortunados. Otra sesion de embarazo con una bella familia. Algunas mujeres se ven incmodas durante su embarazo. Pero Barbara simplemente se veia…elegante, radiante, y por sobre todo feliz. Ni mencionar que tiene un buen ojo para la fotografia. Antes de que pudiera incluso terminar una frase ella hacia lo que yo estaba a punto de preguntarle – Barbara podrias ….y ella ya estaba moviendo su cabeza un poco a la izquierda.

Y creo que quizas sea tan apasionada por la fotografia de maternidad como por la fotografia de matrimonios. Por que de verdad, una de mis cosas favoritas acerca de fotografiar matrimonios es que, por sobre todo, son intensas. Las emociones son intensas, el amor es intenso, el aire es electrico. Una sesion de embarazo es similar pero a un paso mas lento. Pero durante muchos momentos, vi en la cara de Ignacio cuando miraba a Barbara, el mismo sobrecogimiento y felicidad que veo en la cara de un novio cuando ve a su novia por primera vez. Y podia oir la increible ternura en la vos de Barbara cuando ella hablaba acerca de sostener a su guagua en solo algunas semanas. Fue intenso y me encanto.

Ignacio es el hermano de Felipe — Felipe y Lucie son una de nuestras parejas para el ano 2010 y siempre siento que es un gran signo de confianza cuando alguien nos recomienda a su propia familia, gracias! Lucie!.

They are so happy together — and CALM! It kind of amazed me how serene they both were with their baby coming so soon!

Ellos son sumamente felices juntos — y tranquilos! Como que me asombra cuan tranquilos son los dos con la llegada de su bebe tan pronto!

Oh no we didn’t. Oh yes we did. Heart on the belly. I know that some people think this is overdone, but I think it’s kind of adorable. And we tilt-shifted this heart on belly bad boy, so that’s our twist :)

Corazon en la guatita. Se que algunas personas piensan que esto se ha hecho mil veces, pero pienso que es adorable. Le hicimos tilt-shift al corazon de esta foto, ese fue nuestro toque :)

Barbara had seen lots of our work before, and at one point when Ignacio thought he was making a funny face she said, “Don’t worry, Kyle likes headless pictures, your face is probably not even in this!” Haha, and she was right. I swear she read my mind throughout the entire session.

Barbara habia visto harto de nuestro trabajo, y en un punto, cuando Ignacio penso que estaba haciendo una cara divertida ella dijo, “No te preocupes, a la Kyle le gustan las fotos sin cabeza, probablemente tu cara no esta en la foto!” Jaja. y estaba en lo correcto. Juro que leyo mi mente durante toda la sesion.

Seba took these next two photos because he knows that I adore this style and I love how they came out. Look! Even with one eye you can see how much they love each other!

Seba tomo las dos fotos siguientes por que el sabe que adoro este estilo y me encanta como resulto. Incluso con un ojo pueden ver cuanto se aman el uno al otro!

  1. Gorgeous! I so wish I'd had photos like this when I was pregnant – so soft, so romantic, so intense. Love! (although I was the size of a house, so perhaps not)
    I especially love the bokeh balls under the bump picture, and the 3rd image, where they're giggling. Stunning work.

  4. Oh wow Kyle!!! Wow wow wow! These are incredible! They're going to love them! You captured the love and tenderness that Barbara and Ignacio have for each other and their new baby beautifully! The photos give you this feeling that they're both so ready to be parents and are so patient and calm as they wait to meet their little bundle of joyI especially love the setting! I would have never thought to do it there! Now Im thinking I want to do a shoot there too ha ha! I love how it has a magical garden type feel to it with all the glowing light and lush greenery. Barbara really looks like a goddess in these photos! Great job Kyle!!!
