Introduction: My name is Mario ,I am a photographer with 10+ years of experience, I specialize in candid photography, meaning capturing the moment as it is happening with very little posing, although I am open to helping you re-create. I like to shoot in open scenery, without back drops, I love natural looks. I tend to book portraits, maternity, engagement,lifestyle, and fashion brands more than others. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I look forward to the possibility of capturing your special moments and giving you photos that you will look back at and cherish forever. *** PLEASE keep in mind that deposits secure your date and time , meaning I turn down others that may be interested in those select dates and time of day , therefor all deposits are non refundable ***

Mario did a great job of responding to my requests and asking the right questions to make sure I got the exact photos I wanted out of the experience. On the day of the shoot, he did a great job of capturing candid shots and was incredibly patient with our requests for posed pictures. I would definitely recommend his services.

MapPhotoz was my photographer for my engagement and the first photographer I ever hired in my life! He was very flexible on time, sharing photos, and was very communicative to me and my family and friends! He knew what he was doing and even recommended me some poses that I did not mention to him that turned out great! He also took his time in editing people not part of my engagement and harsh lightning! I would highly recommend him and it was great working with him! 🫶🏻
