Minerva Mateos, family photographer in San Lorenzo, creates natural, emotional family photo sessions. With experience, calm and a welcoming studio, she delivers portraits that last.
As a family photographer with a studio in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, my goal is simple and profound: to turn your everyday memories into images that move you. At Minerva Mateos Fotografía / Foto Mimarte I work from sensitivity and experience to highlight what truly matters in each family: the bond, tenderness and complicity. Why choose me as your family photographer? Because my practice is focused on families. I have made this genre my specialty and approach it with a documentary, natural eye that looks for honest moments rather than forced poses. My sessions are designed so children feel comfortable and adults relaxed; the result is authentic, emotion-filled photographs that become a treasure over time. My approach combines technical skill with warmth: I trained in artistic photography and opened Foto Mimarte in 2017 to dedicate myself fully to maternity, infancy and family life. I work in a professional studio and also in nearby natural settings — such as the Casita del Príncipe or the Herrería woods — when the story of the session calls for it. I believe in natural light, simple compositions and an aesthetic that lets emotions breathe. How do I work with you? Before the session we talk to learn your story and expectations. On the day of the shoot I create a calm, welcoming atmosphere, respecting the rhythm of little ones and encouraging spontaneity. I offer personalized sessions that adapt to your preferences: from intimate studio portraits to outdoor family sessions in nature. My close, friendly manner and experience with families help even those unfamiliar with the camera feel at ease and enjoy the moment. In addition to family photography, at Foto Mimarte I offer sessions related to maternity, newborns and children — if you are looking for baby photos, baptism, communion or birthday sessions, I would be delighted to accompany you — while keeping family photography as my primary focus. If you are looking for a photographer in San Lorenzo de El Escorial who will capture the essence of your family with care and authenticity, get in touch. Together we will turn those everyday moments into memories that last a lifetime.
