I’m Marisa, your photographer in La Rioja
I’m Marisa, a professional photographer specialized in authentic family portraits in Ezcaray, La Rioja—
but above all, I’m a mom, just like you.
For a long time, I took hundreds of photos of my daughters with my phone and my professional camera.
I saved beautiful moments: first steps, laughter, birthdays…
But one day, something happened that made me realize something essential was missing in those pictures.
My daughters were looking through our family albums when one of them turned to me, surprised, and asked:
“Mommy, why aren’t you in any of the photos?”
That simple question stirred something deep inside me.
How would my daughters remember who I was—how I looked at them, how much I loved them—if I was never in the images?

That moment changed everything. I realized it wasn’t just me who deserved to be in the memories—other mothers deserved it too.
And that’s how my purpose as a photographer was born: to help you preserve real, beautiful, and authentic memories where you are also present—showing your essence, your strength, and your deep love.
My purpose is that you never feel invisible in your own family photos again.

My family photo sessions—whether in natural outdoor settings, in the studio, or in your home—are designed so you can feel comfortable and free to be yourself.
No awkward poses, no stress. Just you and your family enjoying and living those fleeting moments that mean everything.
As a woman, I know your worth goes far beyond your role as a mother.
So often, we put others’ needs ahead of our own, forgetting how strong, capable, and valuable we are.
That’s why I also offer professional portraits, specially designed to help you reconnect with your personal power and celebrate every facet of your feminine identity—from your professional side to your most intimate essence.
These photographs are not just beautiful images;
they’re a constant reminder of how far you’ve come,
and a powerful tool to strengthen your self-esteem and honor your true worth.
Investing in professional portraits is an act of self-care and self-celebration—
a meaningful gift you deserve, whether it’s for your birthday or simply because the time has come to truly see and value yourself.
Every time I look at our family albums, I’m reminded of how deeply meaningful these photographs are—for me and for my daughters.
I know these memories will have a lasting impact on their future self-esteem, and on mine too.
Despite the chaos and speed at which these years pass—where I’ve given the best of myself—
I know I’ll always be present for them in these images.
And they will always be present for me in these cherished memories.
I know how easy it is to wait for the “perfect moment” to book a photo session.
But I’ve also learned that the best moment is always now.
You deserve meaningful memories—high-quality professional images that reflect who you truly are,
and that you can look at with pride when your children grow up… or when you need to remember your own worth.
If you’re ready to give yourself this experience, I’d be honored to listen and walk beside you through the process.
