Hello! I’m Dori, and Aps Fotografía is the name of my business, and also your photography studio in Alcalá de Guadaíra (Seville).
I’ve always had this feeling that I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up because I loved being connected with children and babies, but when I finished my degree and took the competitive exams, I realized that wasn’t my place.
I’ve also been in love with photography since I was little (thanks to my mother for that), and I thought, why not combine the two things I love the most?
Kids, and everything related to preserving memories—it sounds like a cliché, right? But how much importance do you give to memories? We’re not talking about the present, but this job makes it possible for us to give you something from us that lasts for the rest of your life, allowing me to be a part of witnessing your growth as a family and that of your little ones.
But what I value most is seeing how, year after year, we build that bond that makes everyone feel at home when they come here.
I love to create, and I think one of my challenges is that I don’t like repeating settings; I like giving each child’s session a special and unique touch (except for some campaigns where it can’t be helped). And I love making sure everything is perfect in the sessions and in the final delivery.
What would I say if someone asked me what type of session I like the most? Well, I wouldn’t know what to answer because…
Maternity shoots fascinate me; seeing how a woman’s body transforms and capturing photos where she feels her best is amazing, that’s where everything begins.
Newborn sessions calm me, seeing how they fall asleep while you’re creating their memories is, in the end, the most beautiful part of this job.
On the other hand, I also love seeing my kids grow up during their follow-up sessions.
And what can I say about birthdays? We never know how our little ones will react to their birthday cake…
In the end, the answer to everything is always them—creating their memories is what I love the most in the world. And for you, do you think the most important thing is to create those memories for them?
