HI, I'M BARBARA,

specialist in maternity and newborn photography, based in Dubai

I’ve been working professionally as a photographer for 18 years, and maternity has been part of my work for over 13 of them. Becoming a mother changed the way I see this work completely. Today, I’m especially drawn to photographing motherhood in its different stages, from pregnancy to newborn and breastfeeding, with a natural and delicate approach, and a process that feels calm, personal and well guided.

“This was our second shoot with Barbara, and once again, she was amazing! She first captured our maternity photos when we were expecting our son, and now she has beautifully documented our daughter’s newborn session. She makes us feel comfortable and at ease every time—nothing feels forced, and it shows in every photo. Her images are timeless, full of warmth and genuine emotion. We’ll treasure these beautiful memories forever.”

Testimonials

Bethany

“I recently booked a maternity shoot with my husband and was incredibly nervous, as I’m extremely camera shy. From our very first consultation, Bárbara made me feel at ease and took the time to get to know me, my husband and our story. She’s kind and has a real gift for making you feel comfortable, even during the more intimate moments of the shoot. We have received our photos and I’m in love with every single one! She captured a side of me I haven’t seen in a long time, and I’ll always be grateful for that.”
