I’m María Arenas, a professional photographer based in El Masnou, specializing in family and maternity photography. My work is born from a passion for telling everyday stories: those small gestures, knowing looks and shared laughs that shape a family’s memory. As a family photographer, I seek natural, elegant and emotive images that you can enjoy today and treasure for years to come. My approach is rooted in closeness and calm. Before the session we talk to understand which moments you want to keep: whether you prefer an outdoor session to make the most of natural light and spontaneity or a more intimate portrait in the studio, I adapt the setting so that everyone—adults and children alike—feels comfortable. I believe the best photographs emerge when families are relaxed, so I work with patience, a sense of humor and great sensitivity to make each session an enjoyable and natural experience. In addition to family sessions, I specialize in maternity photography, accompanying expectant mothers to transform this special moment into images full of delicacy. I treat every session with care and attention to detail, taking care of lighting, composition and post-processing to achieve timeless photographs that reflect the beauty of pregnancy. Although my main focus is family and maternity photography, I also offer reportage work related to childhood: newborn and baby photography, children’s sessions and keepsakes from family celebrations (communions, baptisms and birthdays) as a complement to my core services. I keep a consistent style across all shoots: natural, minimally posed images with a documentary approach that highlights emotion and connection. My commitment is to give you more than photos: a personalized experience, a warm, attentive approach and a final result with which you feel fully identified. If you’re looking for a family photographer in El Masnou who understands the importance of family memories and captures the tender moments that matter, I would be delighted to accompany you and create a reportage that truly represents you.
