Irati, a photographer based in Eibar, captures each family's essence with intimate, natural sessions. Specializing in maternity, newborn and children photography, she creates memories to cherish.
I’m Irati Ayerza, a photographer based in Eibar specializing in family photography. My work arises from the need to document everyday stories with honesty and sensitivity: knowing glances, small gestures, sleepless nights and pure tenderness. As a mother and visual storyteller, I aim for each session to be a warm, welcoming and safe experience so that the images truly reflect the essence of your family. Why entrust me with your family memories? My approach is both documentary and artistic: it’s not only about posing, but about telling your story. I work with natural light and simple composition to create photographs that move you and stand the test of time. My style values authenticity — skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, yawns, rumpled sheets — because it’s those details that turn a picture into a memory. My experience and international recognition back my dedication: I have been acknowledged in photography contests that celebrate the human gaze and portraiture, which allows me to combine artistic sensitivity with a well-honed craft. Beyond awards, what matters most to me is the bond I build with families: personalized attention, patience and flexibility so sessions are enjoyable rather than stressful. How do I work? We begin with a conversation to get to know each other and understand what you want to preserve. Sessions can take place in your home — the setting where the most intimate moments unfold — or outdoors across the Basque Country (Euskadi) if you prefer natural light and landscape. During the session I offer gentle guidance, seeking naturalness and freedom: playing with the children, shared looks, spontaneous hugs. Afterwards, I select and edit the images with an artistic, respectful eye to deliver a coherent collection full of emotion. If you’re looking for maternity, newborn or children’s photographs that convey depth and tenderness, my purpose is to create images that accompany your life and become a family treasure. I primarily work in Eibar and the Basque Country, but I’m willing to travel to tell your story wherever needed. If you want to freeze those unique moments forever, I would love to meet you and design the perfect session for your family.
