Specialist in family photography in Sant Quirze del Vallès. Natural, personalized sessions that capture the bond between parents, children and babies to create authentic, lasting memories.
I’m Elena (Lena) Zapata, a photographer based in Sant Quirze del Vallès, and my passion is creating family photo stories that truly reflect who you are. I work from a place of naturalness: “Natural 100%” is more than a phrase — it’s the guiding principle of my sessions. I believe photographs should transport you back to that moment, so I focus on capturing genuine looks, laughter and gestures rather than forced poses. My background in communication, advertising and photo retouching, together with growing up around a family studio, allows me to blend technical skill with sensitivity. I offer sessions designed for families, babies and children — including newborn and early-month sessions — always paying attention to the atmosphere and details that make each family unique. I like to talk with you before the session: to understand what moves you, which locations you prefer, and any small ideas you want included so the shoot feels truly personal. How I work: I often suggest outdoor sessions because natural surroundings help families relax and let spontaneous moments unfold, but I also shoot in studio when you prefer. On the day of the session I create a warm, relaxed and fun atmosphere; my aim is that you walk, play, hug and be yourselves while I turn those moments into images with warm light and clean composition. I deliver carefully edited photos and offer options for albums, prints and high-resolution digital files. Why choose me? Because I’m interested in real stories: the bond between siblings, the first meeting with a newborn, birthday laughter or the simplicity of an ordinary afternoon together. I’m detail-oriented, approachable and professional: from planning to delivery, I support you through each step so the process is comfortable and emotionally meaningful. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Sant Quirze del Vallès who values authenticity, natural images and a personalized approach, let’s talk. Together we’ll create a keepsake that, every time you look at it, will take you back to that moment you want to hold on to.
