Moments


Welcome!
Iโ€™m so happy youโ€™ve found your way here.

Hi! Iโ€™m Maria

  • โ€œWe are obsessed with how our photos turned out, it's amazing how Maria really captured all the energy and emotions of our special day with such vibrancy. The candid shots in particular put me right back in that moment!โ€

  • โ€œMaria makes everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, and natural as if you are spending your special day with a friend by your side who just happens to be snapping pictures of you!โ€

  • โ€œAnyone can hire a photographer that snaps a photo and moves on but Maria is something completely different! She is the most accommodating, kind and professional photographer I have ever worked with.โ€

Weddings

I approach my weddings with a documentary, story-telling style and work closely with my couples to create authentic images that have the kind of honesty and emotional impact that they take you instantly back to that place, that celebration, that commitment. 

Family

Crafting sessions to be unique for each family is key to me, avoiding a generic "rinse and repeat" approach. This style is what truly allows the magic happen and maintains authenticity for each family, providing a truly personalized and one-of-a-kind experience.

First Year Series

My First Year Series offers a comprehensive 3-series package, allowing the documentation of key milestones in your baby's first year. The series includes options such as lifestyle maternity, lifestyle newborn photography, six-month, and the First Birthday Session

Kind Words

โ€œMaria is simply the bestโ€ฆ

โ€ฆShe responds, listens, is a pleasure to work with and most of all - she is a true creative talent. I've known and worked with her in business and personally for over 10 years and she NEVER disappoints. Her photos always capture the sweet realness of life's most precious moments in the perfect way.โ€
