Beatriz, La Retratista, is a family photographer in Toledo. She creates warm, natural sessions that capture the essence of babies, children and family celebrations.
My name is Beatriz, La Retratista. I was born into a family of photographers and grew up surrounded by cameras, flashes and film; my father has been my mentor for almost 40 years. For me, photography is a way of life: I put a little piece of love into every image and turn fleeting moments into memories that last. As a family photographer based in Toledo, my aim is to create honest, timeless images. I work with families, newborns, children and celebrations such as communions, baptisms and birthdays. My style favors naturalness: I focus on capturing gestures, looks and the small everyday stories in a relaxed environment where everyone feels comfortable. Why choose La Retratista for your family session? Because I offer a blend of sensitivity and inherited experience, a friendly approach and patience with the little ones. I understand that every child and every family is unique; that’s why I tailor each session to your needs, talking with you before the appointment to learn about hobbies, daily rhythms and expectations. This helps make the session fun and authentic, never forced. How do I work? Before the session we arrange a meeting to plan location, timing and style. Whether in the studio or outdoors, I create a warm, easygoing atmosphere with simple guidance and plenty of improvisation to catch real moments. For newborns and babies I allow calm rhythms, respecting their pauses and ensuring safety in every pose. For events like communions or baptisms I aim for a mix of portrait and documentary coverage that tells the story of the day. Although my specialty is family photography, I also photograph stages of the family cycle (newborn sessions, baby follow-ups, children’s sessions and intimate events). My approach is always the same: respect, care and professionalism. If you want to preserve the essence of your family in genuine, tender images, at La Retratista in Toledo I will welcome you with enthusiasm and care. Book a session and tell me your story; I would love to help you turn it into photographs that move you today and for years to come.
