Why choose family photography in Puerto Madryn?
Families come to Puerto Madryn for one moment: the children seeing a whale from the beach, close enough to hear it breathe. A family session here is built to catch that, at El Doradillo, where mothers and calves rest a few metres off the sand, with portraits before and after. The session is 30 minutes and 20 edited photos, delivered within 7 days, and the size of the family changes how the trip to the beach is organised.
Worth knowing about Puerto Madryn

A family session at El Doradillo for a group of six or more is therefore booked together with a guide, and the family dog stays in town.

FAQ — Family photography in Puerto Madryn
Do large families need a guide for photos at El Doradillo in Puerto Madryn?
Yes, above 5 people. The rules for the El Doradillo protected area near Puerto Madryn require groups of more than 5 to enter with a licensed Chubut tourism guide. For a family session with grandparents and cousins, the photographer arranges the guide as part of the booking.
Can children swim at El Doradillo during whale season?
No. From June to December no one may enter the water or do any water activity at El Doradillo, near Puerto Madryn, because the whales are breeding and nursing calves there. Summer swimming is allowed, but the beaches have no lifeguards, so a Puerto Madryn family session keeps children on the sand.
