BARBARA GALLARDO PORTRAITS
BEHIND THE LENSE
The photographer
My name is Barbara, a perfectly imperfect latina mom of two, wife to the man of my life. Spanish speaker, coffee, chocolate, music, travel and art lover. Becoming a mother has showed me how good it feels to lift other woman crowns while taking beautiful pictures of them so they can remind themselves that we should never forget ourselves in a very demanding and overwhelming life/society. I admire femininity in all stages, reason why I took the decision to specially in woman photography.
​
Art and photography in general has always been a soulful attraction in my life, Back since high school (2002) I began to be motivated in learning photography, I earned a graphic designer bachelors degree in 2010 with the pure intention to focus on all the photography classes, during my professional career my passion for photography started to take shape. Although time sounds long, it was until a few years after when life played it to my favor and had the opportunity to buy my first professional camera.
​
After having the opportunity to take multiple workshops with worldwide renowned photographers in person and online, Barbara Gallardo Portraits was born. I have been doing photography for over a decade and decided to specialize in pregnancy and woman glamour photography.
