Emestudio Photography

I’m Manuela Monteleone and my work as a photographer revolves around a single purpose: to tell the story of motherhood with tenderness and a refined aesthetic. At Emestudio in Benalmádena I specialize in maternity photography — prioritizing calm, closeness and a minimalist, elegant style that uses neutral tones to create timeless images. Why choose a maternity session with me? Because I bring experience and sensitivity at every step. My training and years of working with families have taught me how to create a relaxed environment where the expectant mother feels comfortable, guided and beautiful. My approach combines natural studio light with simple, natural poses that highlight the beauty of the pregnant body and the connection with a partner or other children, if you wish to include them. How do I work? From the first contact I act as your guide: we plan the session according to your wishes —studio or outdoor— and I advise you on wardrobe, accessories and locations. In the studio you’ll find an intimate, warm atmosphere; outdoors (beach, woodland or other agreed locations) I work with light and landscape to create lifestyle-inspired images. I can support you in finding poses that make you feel confident and elegant, and I offer hair and makeup as an optional extra for those desiring additional production. Beyond digital files, I place great importance on physical objects: albums, fine art prints on selected papers and artisanal processes such as cyanotype that turn a photograph into a unique piece. I select labs and materials that respect my minimalist aesthetic and the handcrafted quality I aim to convey in every product. My commitment is to offer you a complete experience: a calm photoshoot, careful editing and a final result you can touch and display. If you are looking for a maternity photographer in Benalmádena who blends sensitivity, technical skill and an artisanal approach, I would be delighted to accompany you through this special moment and create lasting memories.
