Meet the Photographer Behind the Memories ​

…and this is a little more about Mar Otero Photography.

When I was little, I remember always having many photographs at home, but especially at my grandmother’s house. There were printed photos in frames, albums and slides, and I loved looking at them to remember past moments and to discover relatives I never had the chance to meet.

Little by little, this is what shaped me: the idea that a single photograph can tell a story and help people share their memories and experiences with the people they love. I have always felt deeply connected to that, and it still fills me with emotions that are hard to describe.

I decided to enter the world of family photography because I am passionate about the energy, feelings and emotions that families share, especially the little ones.

Today I can say that I get to do what I truly love, what inspires me most and what brings me real fulfilment.

For more than 10 years, I have been capturing moments that families will treasure for a lifetime. Being invited to preserve those memories fills me with energy and continues to inspire me to grow, learn and evolve in the world of family photography.

Being a mother of three has deeply shaped the way I work. It has made my approach, my style and my editing more natural, honest and focused on real connection. I am especially inspired by soft tones, simple beauty and a calm, timeless style.

Above all, I focus on making little ones feel comfortable, free to be themselves and able to enjoy the experience. I want every session to feel relaxed and enjoyable, so that families leave not only with beautiful photographs, but also with a lovely memory of the time they shared together.

When I work, I follow the same values that guide me in family life: respect, listening, play, patience, and giving children the space and time they need. That is what helps create a warm and rewarding experience for everyone.

Our Team

David

David is my husband and also my assistant, my second photographer, my pillar, and for times when I have to act as a mother, David will do the photo reports for you. He will make sure, just like me, that all the photos are a nice memory and you have a great experience in his hands. We make a good team both professionally and personally and David knows where to position himself to take that desired photo.

Natural Approach

I focus on genuine connection, soft guidance and real emotions, so your photos feel personal and true to your family.

Relaxed Sessions

I always leave space for little ones to be themselves, move freely and enjoy the experience without pressure. Pets are always welcome too.

Timeless Memories

My sessions are designed to give you warm, natural images that you can keep, print and treasure for years to come.marotero+1

Why I Do This

Photography has always been much more than a job to me. I love meeting families, getting to know their story and capturing the little gestures, expressions and emotions that make each stage of life unique.

Being trusted to document these memories is something I truly value, and it continues to inspire me with every session

What You Can Expect

When you book a session with me, I will guide you through the process in a simple and personal way. We will talk about your ideas, choose the right location and create a relaxed environment where you and your family can enjoy the experience naturally.

After the session, I carefully prepare your images and deliver a gallery full of meaningful photographs that reflect your family as you are.
