INTRODUCTIONS SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE A JOB INTERVIEW

Let's get something straight right off the bat: I don't show up to a session acting like a robot with a camera. If you're booking a portrait session with me, whether it's in Marbella or Malaga, we're going to chat like friends, laugh at dumb stories, maybe talk travel or embarrassing teenage phases—and somewhere along the way, I'll be snapping some of your favorite photos ever.

Because here's the secret. Portrait photography isn't just about light and angles. It's about connection. And when you feel connected to the person behind the lens, something magic happens. You forget about the camera. You let your guard down. And that's when the real stuff shows up.

IT'S A WALK, NOT A PHOTOSHOOT

People always ask me what a session is like. And honestly? It's kind of like taking a walk with a friend who happens to know when the light is perfect and how to make you look like your best, realest self.

Whether we're wandering through the cobbled streets of Marbella's Old Town or catching golden hour by the sea in Malaga, I'll guide you the whole way. Not in a “chin up, now turn 30 degrees” kind of way, but more like: “Hey, walk toward me like you're heading to your favorite café and you just saw your best friend.”

That energy? It changes everything. Even my shyest clients, the ones who say, “I'm not photogenic” or “I have no idea what to do with my hands,” usually end up relaxed and laughing within minutes. And yes—those are the shots they end up loving the most.

CREATING COMFORT IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA

Portrait photography in Marbella and Malaga comes with its perks. We've got beautiful backdrops, incredible light, and a vibe that makes it easy to unwind. But honestly, location is only half of it.

The other half? Trust.

That's why I don't just jump into taking photos. We talk. We walk. I'll throw out some casual prompts to get you moving. Maybe I'll ask about your last trip or the worst pickup line you've ever heard. You'd be surprised what shows up in your expression when you're not trying too hard.
