Petitlolarte

If you’re looking for a family photographer in Leioa who puts natural emotion before forced poses, Petitlolarte is the right choice. I’m Begoña Castañón: mother, photographer and passionate about family stories. My work focuses on capturing life as it happens — those looks, laughs, hugs and quiet moments — with a minimalist, warm and respectful style. I believe in “less is more”: clean images, natural light and compositions that let you be the protagonists. Why choose Petitlolarte: I understand family life from the inside. I work calmly, respect children’s rhythms and help adults relax. My experience with at-home and outdoor family sessions across Bizkaia allows me to find those everyday corners — your home, the beach, the woods or the park — where small things become lasting memories. I offer a close, personal experience: we discuss your ideas, plan the best place and time, and on the day of the session I accompany you with sensitivity and good humor so everything flows naturally. My approach and process begin with observation and conversation. Before the session I’ll suggest simple details to enhance the images (neutral clothing, light-filled spaces, meaningful objects). On the day I adapt to your family: play, movement and spontaneity guide the shoot, alternating intimate close-ups with wider, natural frames. After the session I edit each image individually to preserve mood and authenticity, then deliver the final work through a private online gallery so you can view and download the photos comfortably. What drives me: motherhood and family life changed me and led me to this path. Photographing families is my way to preserve the intensity of each stage — from pregnancy to the early years — and to return to you a treasured record that endures. I work primarily in Leioa and throughout Bizkaia, and I’m happy to arrange travel if you’d like me to photograph you elsewhere. If you value honest, calm photography focused on family connection, let’s talk. The session will be an experience to enjoy and the images will be keepsakes that accompany you always.
