Specialist in family photography in Santiago de Compostela. Alba creates relaxed, natural lifestyle sessions that capture each family's complicity and emotion with natural light.
I am Alba Carro, a photographer and visual artist based in Santiago de Compostela. My work focuses on family photography: I take pictures with heart, seeking naturalness and emotion in every moment. My approach is lifestyle and unforced: I prefer natural light, stay discreet, and let relationships and gestures emerge spontaneously so they become authentic memories. Why choose a session with me? Because I understand photography as an intimate encounter between people. My artistic background — painting, drawing and film — gives me the sensitivity to compose images that speak of affection and complicity, not of rigid poses. As a photographer, I like to remain unobtrusive to catch looks, laughter and details that fade when there is rush or artificiality. The result is family photos that feel real and move you when you look back at them. How do I work? I prepare each session with your personality in mind: location, pace and small directions to help you relax. In sessions with children I respect their timing and their way of expressing themselves; play and simple activities help us achieve natural smiles. For couples or family sessions I offer gentle, natural guidance so that everything flows: my goal is for you to forget the camera and enjoy the moment. Although my specialty is family photography, I also accompany families through intimate milestones and celebrations: baby and newborn sessions, baptisms, communions or birthdays are all part of the same narrative thread that preserves family history. In every case I keep the same philosophy: simplicity, respect and visual honesty. If you are looking for a family photographer in Santiago de Compostela who values spontaneity, natural light and an artistic eye, I would be delighted to meet you. I like sessions to be a pleasant and memorable experience: minimal staging, plenty of emotion and images that will accompany you for a lifetime.
