Maternity photoshoot on a beach near Lisbon

A late-August maternity session on an Atlantic beach near Lisbon at sunrise, moving from the waterline to the dunes.

The route

The waterline

Soft first light and an empty beach.

Close portraits

Hands, the bump and the two of them together.

The dunes

Sitting in the sand and the grass as the sun rose higher.

Light and timing

At sunrise the beach is almost empty and the light is gentle, which matters for a maternity session: no harsh shadows and no crowd.
