Family photographer in Hortaleza specializing in natural, close-knit sessions. I capture real moments—from babies and newborns to family celebrations—with sensitivity and warmth.
I’m Marina Ruano, a family photographer based in Hortaleza with a studio and a personal approach to every session. My work stems from the belief that the best images are the ones that tell stories: small gestures, shared glances and everyday life that build a family. For this reason I specialise in family photography, offering photo reports that prioritise naturalness and intimacy over rigid posing. My approach combines documentary sensitivity with gentle direction. During the session I aim to create a relaxed, warm atmosphere; I speak little, observe a lot and accompany the family so interactions can flow spontaneously. I work both outdoors and in cosy indoor settings, adapting to what each family needs: a calm pace for babies and newborns, play and movement with children, or multigenerational gatherings at home. The result is a collection of images that allow you to relive feelings and stages with honesty and affection. Why choose my family photo reports in Hortaleza? Because I understand that every family has its own rhythm and story. I have experience documenting everything from maternity and newborn sessions to intimate celebrations: baptisms, communions and birthdays all become natural chapters of that family narrative. I’m not a fashion photographer; I’m a photographer of family life who values respect, patience and closeness. My process is simple and human: we talk beforehand to understand your expectations, we agree on a place and time that feel comfortable, and on the day I adapt to the family’s pace. I deliver carefully edited images with coherent aesthetics, maintaining the warmth and authenticity that characterise my style. What drives me is a passion for preserving visual memory: photographs should be allies that help remember smells, voices and games from a particular stage of life. If you’re looking in Hortaleza for a family photographer who prioritises real emotion, calm moments and a close, friendly approach, I would be delighted to accompany you in this chapter of your life.
