Mertxe Alarcón Photography

Mertxe Alarcón is a family photography specialist based in Esplugues de Llobregat. Her work focuses on portraits and family sessions that prioritize naturalness, warmth and the emotional details that turn everyday life into memorable images. If you’re looking for family photos that feel honest and unforced, Mertxe offers an expert eye and a documentary sensitivity that preserves the essence of each relationship. Her approach blends portrait technique with an intimate aesthetic: she prefers real light, spontaneous gestures and unhurried moments where family members feel comfortable. Mertxe aims to make sessions a relaxed, close experience; she avoids rigid poses and seeks situations where the bond between parents and children naturally surfaces. The result is a collection of photographs that convey warmth, memory and authentic connection. How does she work? Before the session she arranges a conversation to learn about each family’s rhythms, tastes and priorities. On the day of the shoot she creates a calm atmosphere, offers gentle guidance and captures real instants: laughter, exchanged glances, impromptu hugs. She delivers images carefully edited to respect natural tones and the emotion of the moment. Her training in portraiture allows her to adjust composition and light so that each photograph tells a unique, personal story. Although her specialty is family and portrait photography, Mertxe occasionally shares her experience through workshops and educational formats — a secondary facet of her practice aimed at those who want to deepen their technical skills and photographic vision. Nevertheless, her main dedication remains the creation of family records that accompany people through time. Choosing Mertxe Alarcón means trusting a photographer who values authenticity, patience and a deep affection for life’s small but significant moments. If you live in Esplugues de Llobregat or nearby and want a family portrait that preserves today’s emotion for tomorrow, her professional approach combines sensitivity, experience and a way of working that always puts people at the centre.
