Malva Studio

I am Mónica Álvarez, the photographer behind Malva Studio in Redondela. My specialty is family photography: family sessions, newborn photography, baby photos and children’s portraits. I understand how important it is to preserve memories that will move you years from now, so my work combines classic portrait technique with a contemporary, minimalist and lifestyle approach that brings out each family’s essence. Why choose Malva Studio as your family photographer in Redondela? Because I work from a place of closeness: I prepare every session with your real home dynamics in mind, prioritizing the comfort of babies and the spontaneous laughter of children. My goal is for families to feel relaxed and authentic — the result is images that do more than show faces; they tell stories. I offer studio sessions when you want controlled lighting and a timeless look, and outdoor sessions to capture movement, play and everyday moments in natural light. My process is simple and collaborative. Before the session we talk to understand your expectations: we discuss timing, locations and the pace needed when working with newborns or young children. During the shoot I create a calm, friendly atmosphere; I use lighting and composition techniques that care for details without forcing poses. Afterwards I perform careful editing that respects mood and natural textures, delivering images ready for printing or sharing with family. In addition to newborn and children’s sessions, I specialize in baptism and communion coverage and in family celebrations such as birthdays. Every project is handled with sensitivity and professionalism: from preparation and connecting with the subjects to the final delivery of the images. Malva Studio is for families seeking a photographer who blends artistic sensitivity with technical professionalism in Redondela and the surrounding area. If you want family photos that convey real emotion — family photography, family photo session, children’s photographer or baptism photographer — let’s talk and design a session that represents you exactly as you are.
