DAD & ME.
There are bonds that are built in everyday life: in games, hugs, adventures, laughter, and those little rituals that are just for you.
MORE THAN A PHOTO SHOOT.
LIVE IN THE MOMENT.
Dad & Me is a space to share, play and enjoy without rushing.
Running, walking, piggyback riding, hugging, talking, laughing, or simply letting things happen.
I accompany that encounter and look for those spontaneous gestures that speak of the bond between dad and his children: a knowing look, a laugh, hands clasped tightly or that hug that appears without being asked for.
The idea is not to pose, but to capture what you are like when you are together.
WHAT IS THE SESSION LIKE?
Dad & Me sessions are relaxed, spontaneous and designed so that children can be themselves.
There's no need to know how to pose or ask them to look at the camera the whole time. During the session, I suggest little situations and games that help capture real moments, always respecting each child's personality and pace.
I also like to focus on the details: the hands, the hugs, the looks, the movement and those small ways of relating that make each bond unique.
Where and when?
Dad & Me sessions are done in natural light, preferably near sunset, when the light is softer and warmer.
I work mainly in La Barra, Manantiales and José Ignacio, in places I choose for their tranquility, their light and the space they offer to move around and enjoy the session without rushing.
If there's a special place in mind for you, we can consider it. And if not, I can recommend different options depending on the time of year, your children's ages, and the style you're looking for.
How long does a session last?
Approximately one hour. This is enough time for the children to feel comfortable, play, explore, and for us to photograph the session naturally, without rushing.
What if my children don't want to look at the camera?
Absolutely nothing happens. In fact, I don't expect anything to. The best photographs usually happen when they're playing, running, hugging, or simply enjoying being together. My job is to be there with them and capture those moments as they happen.
What clothes do we recommend?
Before the session, you will receive a guide with wardrobe recommendations. Neutral tones, soft textures, and comfortable clothing help maintain a natural and timeless style, where the people are always the focus.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
If the weather doesn't provide ideal conditions, we'll reschedule the session. Light and surroundings are a crucial part of the experience, and it's worth waiting for the perfect moment.
What if we get a cloudy day and we have no option to change the date?
We don't necessarily have to cancel. Cloudy days can offer beautiful, soft light for photos and also give us more flexibility with scheduling. In those cases, we'll choose the best location together, depending on the weather, generally avoiding overly open landscapes if it's a very gray day.
If you want to know more, on the blog I explain how I work sessions on cloudy days and what options we have when they are on vacation for a few days.

THE MAGIC IS NOT IN LOOKING AT THE CAMERA,
IT'S ABOUT FORGETTING THAT IT EXISTS.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION.
No prior experience in front of the camera is necessary, nor is any preparation needed for the children before the session. The idea is simply for them to arrive, relax, and enjoy the moment. I will guide them and suggest games or short activities tailored to each child's age and personality.
If Dad has more than one child, the session can include them all. We alternate moments together with more individual ones, ensuring that each relationship also has its own space.
For clothing, I recommend comfortable garments in neutral tones or pieces that coordinate without requiring matching outfits. Before the session, we can always discuss what to wear and choose together what works best for the location.
The location is also an important part of the experience. I work with different spots in La Barra, Manantiales, and José Ignacio that I choose specifically for their tranquility, natural light, and the space they offer for walking, running, and playing. If you have a place that's special to you, we can consider that too.
And if the children have other plans that day—they don't want to look at the camera, they want to run, explore, or stay in someone's lap—that's perfectly fine. We're not trying to make them behave in a certain way, but rather to work with what's happening and let real moments emerge.
THIS SESSION IS FOR YOU IF...
This session is for you if…
You want to have a special memory with your children without having to wait for an important date.
If you enjoy playing, exploring, laughing and spending time with them and want the photos to truly reflect that bond.
If you're looking for natural and spontaneous images, without rigid poses or forced smiles.
Or simply if you want to save how these years that pass so quickly look —and feel—.

Because one day, these little things will become huge memories.
