Artavejas gallery of art & photography

Hi — I’m Marta from Artavejas gallery of art & photography, based in Horwich. Family photography is my heart and primary focus: I specialise in creating relaxed, natural family photoshoots that celebrate the everyday connections and small moments that make your family unique. Why choose me for your family photoshoot? My approach blends a photographer’s eye with an artist’s sensibility. As someone who also paints, I pay close attention to light, colour and composition to produce images that feel warm, honest and slightly artful — not posed photographs but visual stories you’ll want to live with. I bring a calm, friendly presence to each session so children, parents and multi‑generation groups feel comfortable and free to be themselves. What makes my family sessions special is the atmosphere I create: unhurried, encouraging and playful. I work with gentle prompts and simple activities rather than rigid posing, so I can capture real smiles, little gestures and spontaneous interactions. Whether we meet outdoors in a favourite local spot around Horwich or in a cosy home environment, I aim to deliver images that reflect your family’s personality and rhythm. How I work with clients: we start with a friendly conversation about what matters to you — the moments you want to remember, the look you prefer, and any special dynamics to be aware of. On the day I keep things easygoing and flexible (especially important with young children), guiding but never forcing. After the shoot I carefully edit each image to enhance its emotional tone and artistic look so your portraits feel timeless. Though family photography is my core speciality, I also take on related work such as maternity, event and portrait sessions on request — always approached with the same warmth and artistic care. My gallery reflects this blend of photography and art: every picture I make is intended to be a meaningful, one‑of‑a‑kind keepsake. If you’re in Horwich or nearby and want a family photoshoot that feels personal, creative and relaxed, get in touch. I’d love to hear your story and help you preserve it in images you’ll treasure.
