Sophia Arenas, photographer and retoucher in Humanes (Madrid), creates warm, fun family sessions: maternity, babies, newborns and personalized smash cake shoots at Ilussion Studio.
I’m Sophia Arenas, a family photographer and professional retoucher with more than ten years of experience. From Humanes de Madrid I specialize in maternity, baby, newborn and family photography because I believe family memories deserve artistic and human care. My aim is that every session becomes a comfortable, fun and authentic experience, captured in images that last a lifetime. I work from Ilussion Studio (south Madrid), a space designed to make families feel at home: personalized sets, wardrobe options and the convenience of private parking. I plan each session with you to prepare the atmosphere, colors and overall aesthetic. For smash cake sessions I create themed sets (Disney, films, classic kids’ themes) and can coordinate the cake with allergen-free options on request. With newborn photography I follow the baby’s rhythm and safety: I usually recommend sessions in the first days to capture those fragile details, and in sitter sessions (6–9 months) I focus on expressions and early milestones. For maternity I offer individual sessions and month-by-month evolution shoots, guiding you on wardrobe, makeup and poses so you feel confident and beautiful during this special time. My approach is warm and patient: I play with children, create playful prompts that provoke real smiles, and support adults so they connect naturally in front of the camera. I design personalized sessions —from intimate baptisms to children’s birthday shoots in studio or on location— adapting pace and details to each family’s needs. As a professional retoucher, I perform careful post-production consistent with the session’s style: natural retouching that enhances the image without losing authenticity. For me, the technical side (lighting, composition and retouching) must always serve the emotion. If you’re looking for a family photographer in Humanes de Madrid who combines sensitivity, experience and a close, friendly approach, I’d be delighted to hear your ideas and plan your session. Write to me and together we’ll design the most beautiful way to keep your memories.
