Family session in Mallorca

Family session in Mallorca

One of the photo sessions I enjoy the most is the family session in Mallorca. I find it really nice to be able to share a few hours with them and get to know them a little bit.

Without a doubt one of the most responsible things in life is being a parent. First of all, I think it requires a lot of decision to think about it and carry it out. It is a subject that cannot be taken lightly and at some point in life it comes.

Family life

If you have been lucky enough to have parents and siblings, you may have a reference. I know of many families with several siblings and they are used to something like this. They love having a full house and see it as something very natural.

I know other people who have grown up alone, have been only children and that influences them. Maybe that’s why they want to have many children and create their own family. It might also make them not want to have children or just one child because they have been happy that way.

In any case, every time I do a family session in Mallorca and take pictures of fathers or mothers with their children, it makes me feel very tender. As a photographer in Mallorca, in the family session you can see in this post I had a great time. They are also lovely and the way they manage the growth of their child is great.

Traveling parents

As a couple they love to travel all over the world, they have visited many countries. We were talking about some of the places they have been to and their experiences.

They were in Thailand where I would have liked to go before all this Coronavirus. I had to cancel that trip for fear of how close it was to China. Besides, it was in the middle of Chinese New Year and I thought that many people would go to Thailand. So I changed it at the last minute in spite of myself and decided to go to Mexico to the Mayan Riviera. Which was also an incredible trip, it has to be said.

They had been to Thailand and recommended me to go there in the future because they had had a great time. They especially liked Japan in Asia. They like me are in love with gastronomy and they love Japanese food. So I have a couple of trips pending.

Talking about this in this family session in Mallorca, they told me that they had decided to continue travelling with their son. Little Gerard is not yet one year old and he has already been to Formentera. They are very clear that they want to share all these experiences with him. They are very capable of adapting to be able to continue travelling with him.

Family session in Mallorca

For this family session in Mallorca I wanted to take them to a very special place. Of all the island of Mallorca one of the beaches that I like the most is Son Mesquida.

I find the back part spectacular with all the dunes, it’s like you are in another country.  It’s like going to the desert all of a sudden with all those natural dunes so well kept. They have renovated the wooden stairs that are suspended above and you can walk on them.

I wanted to take some beautiful pictures of them in these natural dunes in the dim light in the morning for this family session in Mallorca. As the little one had to be well rested in order to be calm we planned it like this.

We met very early at 8.00 am in Cala Mesquida. As soon as I saw the little one I fell in love. He is so cute and has spectacular blue eyes. I knew right away that it was going to be a beautiful family session in Mallorca.

They looked very much in love with each other and they have been together for so many years now, I loved that.

We started walking down the stairs and found a dune where there was some shade. Even though it was so early in the morning the summer sun was starting to shine.

Beautiful family session in Mallorca

They were both doing things to keep Gerard entertained and more or less posed.

One of the most difficult things in a family session with young children is to keep them still. It’s easy for them to be restless all the time. That’s why you have to use your experience and try to be quick. Above all you have to know what to do and how you want the family session in Mallorca to go.

There were costume changes, the blue colour suited her little eyes very well. Once we finished in the dunes we went to the beach area.

At the end of the walkway we reached a beautiful area of rocks and sand where I took some pictures of the three of them.

We also took the time to take some photos of the two of them alone as a couple. They had never had the opportunity to take pictures like this before. So they loved doing it and had a great time playing and running in the water along the shore. I loved seeing how in love they still are, it’s a beautiful family.

Once we finished the family session in Mallorca they decided to stay longer on the beach. We said goodbye until the following week when I would give them the photos. Little Gerard will undoubtedly have a very nice memory of this stage of his life.

I thank them for trusting me as a photographer in Mallorca, I’m sure we will see each other more times.
