Daniel Mellado Fotografía

I'm Daniel Mellado and my work is born from a passion for capturing feelings and turning them into lasting memories. As a photographer specializing in family photography based in Son Rapinya (Palma de Mallorca), my aim is for each session to reflect the personality and unique bond of every family, with a close, natural and artistic approach. Why choose a family session with me? I don't look for artificial poses: I prefer to create a relaxed atmosphere where laughter, spontaneous gestures and small moments become sincere images. More than a decade of experience working with families and maternity sessions has taught me how to read moments, respect children's rhythms and build trust so the session flows calmly. My approach combines documentary-style family photography—to capture the emotional truth of each moment—with the sensitivity of Fine Art portraiture when the occasion calls for it. This allows me to deliver images that work both as everyday memories and as timeless pieces with careful attention to light and color. Every session is prepared with care: I speak with you before the shoot to understand your story, the places that represent you and the ideas you want to preserve. I work outdoors at locations near Palma as well as in studio, adapting the setting and artistic direction to what best suits your family. For maternity sessions I aim to convey tenderness and natural beauty; for children's portraits I honour spontaneity and curiosity; and for family portraits I cultivate complicity among members to achieve images that will move you as time passes. Editing is personalized and meticulous: before delivering the final material I review every detail to ensure the result is coherent with the aesthetic we pursued. As a parent myself, I know the value of preserving these instants—so my commitment is to provide photographs that are not only beautiful but that also tell your story. If you are looking for a family photographer in Son Rapinya who combines sensitivity, technical skill and respect for natural moments, I would be delighted to meet you and create a session tailored to your needs. Contact me to discuss your idea and together create memories that will last a lifetime.
