Directed, magazine-style portraits for couples, families and maternity: guided posing, wardrobe guidance before the day, a place chosen for its light and lines, and one consistent tone across your gallery. No deposit, and a preview within 24 hours.
An editorial session is planned like a magazine story: what you wear, where you stand and how we direct you are decided before the day, so the photos read as one set rather than separate poses. As an editorial photographer in Cancun, IVAE Studios brings that method to portrait sessions for couples, families and expecting parents.
The studio is based in Cancun and led by Vianey Díaz. Our team brings more than 20 years of photography experience and has photographed thousands of families and couples over those years; IVAE Studios itself, founded in 2023, has delivered more than 500 sessions. On the IVAE Studios Google profile we hold 5.0 from 75 reviews. After a sunset session, Claire L. wrote:

Brand and resort campaign work is a different service, described on our luxury editorial page; this page covers portrait sessions.
We tell you where to stand, where to look and what to do with your hands, in English or Spanish. Most of what we ask is an action rather than a pose to hold: a slow walk, a look back over the shoulder, a lean against a wall.
Before your session we send guidance on what to wear, the scenes and how the session will run. In short: solid colors with texture, one palette for everyone without matching, one statement piece each, and no logos or neon.
A white wall, a palapa on the water, a garden path or open sea and sky: we choose the setting for its light and the clean lines that frame you, often where you are staying.
We edit your gallery as a set, in one consistent tone from the first frame to the last, with skin, sand and water kept true to the day, so any two photos sit well side by side.
Twelve frame ideas are in our editorial photoshoot ideas for couples in Cancun, and ten settings in luxury photoshoot ideas in Cancun.
Couples. Honeymoons, anniversaries, engagements and trips for two. The Postcard is made for couples; a second look, such as linen by day and an evening outfit for the last light, comes with The Story, The Editorial or The Heirloom. See our Cancun couples photographer page.
Families. One palette makes a family of four, or three generations, read as one family. We plan the scenes, from everyone walking toward the water to each child up close. There is no limit on the number of people and no per-person charge, and 29 of our 75 Google reviews mention the children. Marouchka G. came with a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old:
“They organized a last minute sunset shoot for our family with great art direction, and made it fun, short and efficient”

See our Cancun family photographer page, fine art vs editorial family portraits and, in Spanish, our guide to an elegant, editorial family session.
Maternity. A long dress that moves in the breeze, the two of you, older children if they come along; we guide where your hands rest and plan around the heat. See our maternity photographer in Cancun page.
Every session is booked from six published collections at fixed prices in USD, and you do not need the one called The Editorial for an editorial session: one look in one place fits from The Postcard. Two looks come with The Story, The Editorial and The Heirloom; The Editorial, 90 minutes with 70 edited photos for 645 USD, is our best value. You can upgrade at any time by paying only the difference.

Early starts bring soft, low light and a quieter beach, kind to pale palettes and little ones. The 5:00 and 5:30 pm starts bring warmer light as the sun drops; how close they run to sunset depends on the month.
We begin with the frame you most want to print, while everyone is fresh, then move scene by scene and keep shooting between poses, where the real laughs happen.

A session planned like a magazine story. At IVAE Studios that means directed posing, guidance on what to wear before the day, a setting chosen for its light and clean lines, and one consistent tone across the edited gallery.
Yes. The same planning works for couples, families and maternity sessions. With families we plan the scenes, from everyone together to each child up close, with no limit on the number of people and no per-person charge. Maternity sessions are guided pose by pose, with shade and breaks in the heat.
