Chema Carbonell

“Good photographs show stories; I can show yours.” With that philosophy Chema Carbonell —José Mª Carbonell Puerto— has become a local reference for families in Guadalajara. Since 2016 his passion for photography has translated into sessions that prioritize genuine emotion over forced poses: family portraits that capture real moments and stand the test of time. As a specialist in family photography, Chema works with an eye for naturalness. His style avoids artifice: careful lighting, simple compositions and attention to the small gestures that make each family unique. Whether it’s an outdoor family session, newborn photos, children’s portraits or memories of celebrations such as baptisms, first communions and birthdays, his objective is to create images that convey connection and lasting memory. The process is friendly and stress-free. Before the session, Chema listens to what you want to preserve: meaningful places, moments that matter, the rapport between generations. On the day of the shoot he fosters a relaxed atmosphere where children feel free and adults forget the camera; this is when authentic smiles and spontaneous looks arise. Many families highlight how enjoyable and easy the experience is and how the photos truly reflect their identity. For newborn sessions he combines patience and safety, working slowly to ensure the baby’s comfort while creating gentle, timeless images that families cherish. He can photograph at home for a lifestyle approach or on location for more editorial or outdoor family portraits — always adapting to your preferences and the rhythms of the little ones. Beyond technique and sensitivity, Chema brings respect for each image: every photograph is the author’s work and is carefully edited to enhance color and light without losing the essence of the moment. He pays meticulous attention to detail and offers options for digital galleries, fine art prints, custom albums and wall pieces so every memory has the warmth and value it deserves.
