Discover the talent of 10 family photographers who rely on Arcadina
Family photographers have a job that is as beautiful as it is challenging: to document with sensitivity and art the most special moments in a family’s life. Their mission goes far beyond taking a simple photograph; it involves capturing the essence of each child, the connection between parents and children, and that spark of spontaneity that arises in an afternoon of games, laughter and hugs. And while at first glance family photography may seem simple, the reality is quite different. Bringing together several people in a single image, making them feel comfortable, and reflecting their genuine emotions in an instant frozen in time, requires experience, empathy and a great capacity for observation. Each session is unique, and each family, a different world to discover and narrate through the lens.
In this article we invite you to get to know the work of several family photographers who have perfected the art of capturing real emotions. They all rely on Arcadina to show their talent to the world through professional, visual and inspiring photography websites.
Discover what the best family photographers who choose Arcadina to give visibility to their work have in common.

How do family photographers work and what strategies do they use to achieve authentic images?
Family photographers focus their work on capturing unique and emotional moments in the lives of children, as well as portraying the connection, affection and complicity that exists between the different members of a family. Their main objective is to freeze in time memories that, over the years, become true visual treasures.
Nowadays, more and more parents value the importance of having a family photographer, aware that images captured with sensitivity and technique make it possible to preserve a much more special memory. It is no longer just about having beautiful photos, but about documenting the family’s history with authenticity and emotion.
Within family photography, there are different styles. On the one hand, there is lifestyle photography, where everyday, natural and relaxed scenes are highlighted, with hardly any posing. On the other, fine art reportage, which is characterised by its artistic approach, careful art direction, elaborate sets and carefully selected wardrobe to achieve images that look like authentic works of art.
In addition, many family photographers have successfully developed a business model based on accompanying families through all the important stages of their lives, from pregnancy, birth and the baby’s first years, to the annual family sessions. Their goal is clear: to become their trusted photographers, the ones they turn to time and time again to preserve their most precious memories.

1# Eduardo Breña
In the heart of Oviedo you will find Eduardo Breña’s children’s and wedding photography studio, a professional who stands out especially in the field of family photography. Within his specialisation with children, he stands out for his first communion sessions full of dynamism, freshness and joy, as well as for his endearing reports of pregnancy, babies and families, where he manages to capture the tenderness and connection between the protagonists.
Those who are looking for information about family photographers to carry out some of these sessions will find a careful, visual and full of inspiring images website, as well as a blog where Eduardo shares details and anecdotes of some of his reportage. For his current clients, the photographer has set up a private area where they can easily access his galleries, view photos, make selections, download files or even make purchases, all in a secure and personalised way.
And if Eduardo wants to reduce the time he spends answering calls or emails with frequent questions about rates, availability or type of sessions, we recommend including a clear and detailed services page on your website, where future clients can easily find all the information they most frequently request.
2# Apapachoa
Apapachoa is a photography studio located in the Ecuadorian city of Daule, where you will find Erika, a passionate audiovisual communicator who has made photography her way of expression and connection with families. Although she also does wedding photography, Erika has specialised in the wide and emotive world of children and family photography, offering a wide variety of sessions that capture unique moments in the lives of her clients.
Among her specialities are maternity shoots, family sessions, children’s photography, celebrations such as 15 years, vintage sessions, birthday series such as “Un, dos, tres”, newborn sessions, as well as coverage of religious sacraments such as baptisms, communions and confirmations. Each of these sessions reflects their close, emotional and sensitive style.
On her website, families can explore various image galleries that showcase her versatility and photographic style, learn more about her personal and professional history, and find answers to many of the most frequently asked questions thanks to her comprehensive services pages, where she clearly explains the different options available.
One tip that could help Erika optimise her time and increase her bookings is to incorporate the online Booking tool into her work strategy. This functionality would allow her to automate the management of appointments, show real-time availability and offer a more convenient and professional experience to her potential clients.

3# Daniel Mellado
In Palma de Mallorca you will find Daniel Mellado’s studio, a photographer specialising in family photography, communion sessions, pregnancy, newborn and the endearing “my first year” reportage. In addition, his versatility allows him to successfully tackle wedding reportage and photo shoots for musicians, demonstrating an artistic and technical approach that adapts to different types of clients and moments.
Her website is an open window to her visual world: families and future clients can enjoy an extensive and varied gallery of children’s images, learn more about her professional career and consult relevant details about several of the reports she offers, especially those aimed at children and family audiences.
At Arcadina, we are convinced that if Daniel incorporates into his workflow the delivery of photographs through private galleries with functions such as the selection, download or purchase of images, he will be able to improve his clients’ experience and, at the same time, boost his post-shoot sales significantly.
4# Artefacto Estudio
Artefacto Estudio is a studio based in Getxo (Bizkaia) that offers a wide variety of photography sessions for children, babies, pregnancy and also corporate shoots. Their website is a space where you can explore different styles and themes through their carefully selected image galleries, which reflect the quality and sensitivity of their work.
In addition, Artefacto Estudio has developed a very complete services page, where they explain in detail the main children’s sessions they offer, making it easier for potential clients to know all the available options and choose the one that best suits their needs. Their photography blog, on the other hand, is an excellent window to discover how some of their photo shoots are, showing the creative process and the atmosphere they generate in each session.
From Arcadina we would like to encourage the photographers behind this project to go one step further in the interaction with their potential clients. A brief personal introduction on the homepage or in the “About me” section could help to create a closer and more human connection. Likewise, adding a WhatsApp Business icon would facilitate direct and agile communication, allowing visitors to resolve their doubts quickly and easily, improving the user experience and boosting booking possibilities.

5# Galerna Fotografía
Galerna Fotografía is a studio based in the city of Pamplona (Navarra), specialising in children’s photography, wedding reportage and sessions for professionals. Their website is a clear and complete reflection of their work, where you can find a wide variety of image galleries with a careful selection of photos that show their style and quality.
On her website, Marta, the photographer who brings Galerna Fotografía to life, has dedicated several sections to explain in detail her different services and types of photographic reports, as well as a personal section where she shares the history and values that give meaning to her brand.
One of the great advantages offered to its customers is the possibility of interacting with their images through private galleries, facilitating the viewing, selection and downloading of photographs in a comfortable and safe way. Undoubtedly, a website that families and clients will find very complete and functional.
A tip that could help Marta to optimise her time and improve the management of her business is to integrate an online Booking system into her website. This tool would automate the management of bookings and enquiries, allowing her to focus more on the creative side and less on the administrative side. This website is an inspiring example for many photographers who are starting out in family photography.
6# Ángel Martínez Fotografía
Ángel Martínez is a photographer from Madrid specialised in children, family, pregnancy and communion photography sessions. His sensitivity and experience allow him to capture unique moments with a natural and emotive style. In addition, Ángel also dedicates part of his work to the photography of models, actors and corporate reportage, which demonstrates his versatility and technical mastery in different areas of professional photography.
On his website you can explore several galleries of carefully selected images, which not only showcase some of his best work, but also include short explanatory texts that contextualise each session and reflect his artistic approach. The website also has a presentation section where Angel introduces himself in a friendly and authentic way, a private area for clients where families and professionals can access his photographs securely, and a booking section that allows sessions to be managed quickly and efficiently.
A very useful tip for Ángel, and also for you if you have a similar website, is to activate Arcadina Labs.’ professional print formats This option not only allows clients to purchase additional images from their private galleries, but also gives them the possibility to order high quality products such as canvas prints, HD metal print, passepartout, among others. A great way to offer a more complete service and boost sales after the shoot has taken place.
7# Indiana Fotografía
Another family photographer we would like to highlight is Indiana Fotografía, a charming space dedicated to children and wedding photography in Tierz (Huesca), where we find Mamen leading each session with sensitivity and professionalism.
On her website you can enjoy a careful selection of images that reflect the close and natural style of her work. In addition, it includes a visual presentation of several of her sessions, detailed information about some of her most outstanding reports and a photography blog where she shares some of her latest work, allowing you to learn more about her artistic approach and professional evolution.
We know that many clients appreciate being able to have direct access to examples of the type of session they are interested in at a specific moment. Therefore, a recommendation for Mamen, which can make an important difference, is to organise her galleries in more specific sections: create several galleries or sub-galleries according to the type of session she is currently offering (wedding, newborn, children, family, etc.). This structure will make it easier for your future clients to navigate and allow them to quickly connect with the style of reportage they are looking for.
8# Capturando la Vida Fotografía
capturandolavidafotografia.com
Capturando la Vida Fotografía is the project of Sara Palomares, a passionate photographer based in Valencia who began to realise her vocation in 2013. Sara specialises in child, pregnancy and newborn photography. Her website transmits this vocation from the first page: “Each session has its own essence, its own story to tell...”.
On her website you will be able to enjoy a series of carefully selected image galleries, such as: newborn, baby, Smash cake, pregnancy, family and children. And for those clients who already have it clear, they will be able to go to their Booking page to be able to book directly some of their star photos.
As a recommendation for Sara, we think it would be interesting for her to consider the possibility of including a services page where families can find a small explanation of the different photo shoots she does. We know that this small gesture can increase your bookings in a very short time.
9# De Haros Fotógrafos
In 1996 and in the heart of the Costa del Sol, the De Haros photography studio opened its doors where, in addition to making countless publications for the Diario Sur de Málaga, they have also specialised in family photo sessions, such as: smash cake, communions, children, babies, pregnancy, family, newborns, post-communion. In this studio they also do weddings, pet photography, architecture reports, etc.
On their website, customers will be able to access a series of very carefully designed image galleries, they will also find a section in which they tell their story and professional career and a section of Products and Services where they will get a more detailed idea of everything they can offer them in this photographic studio. In addition, through their client area they can offer a much more complete and professional service to the families once the photographic report has been completed.
As a recommendation, we encourage photographers who are in charge to try the booking calendar, thanks to this tool, they will save many hours of management with clients, they will have a much clearer and tidier agenda and, in addition, they will have all the information of their clients in the same space (the management panel).
10# El Meu Núvol
And we end this compilation of family photographers with the website of Anna de El Mey Núvol, a space where you can find the most precious moments in the lives of families converted into beautiful images. This photographer from Igualada (Barcelona) specialises in a wide variety of photo shoots, but all of them revolve around the family.
These are some of the photo shoots you can discover on her website: pregnancy, newborn, maternity, baby, smash cake, breastfeeding, family, communion, mother’s day, summer mini sessions and kids. In addition to being able to visit all these image galleries on their website, you will also find a page of services for each type of reportage. And as you would expect, with this extensive experience Anna has already decided to launch her own training, which she also explains on her website.
We can see that this photographer has an active client area and we encourage her to incorporate all the options she can plan in this space to promote the sale of extra images and offer a much more professional service to her clients.
