Introduction: I have been capturing memories for people for the past 6 years. Actually longer than that because I have always been the picture taker! In 2013, I decided to put a name to my hobby and do what I love to do...taking photos! I enjoy capturing memories in photos! Weddings, family photos, milestones, and all events that are special to you I will capture those memories in photos! I love natural light photography. And I enjoy the challenge of shooting indoors with a mix of flash and lighting. My style is a mix of traditional posing and fun contemporary posing. I like to keep my sessions light and no pressure so that there are natural expressions and smiles. I enjoy photography. I love weddings days, capturing those little details to the big moments. I also love working with seniors and families! I always feel honored to chosen to capture a special time in your lives. I also love the editing process. Taking what I see in my camera and enhancing it to become a little work of art.

I am so happy we chose Maria to shoot our wedding day. She exceeded our expectations in many ways. Her preparedness and punctuality kept us on track throughout the day. She was such a pleasure to work with and rolled with the punches - expected and unexpected - all while staying positive and upbeat. As an experienced and skilled photographer, she guided us through all the shots and was able to capture some truly beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. If you are considering Maria to shoot your upcoming event, take this as a sign to do it!! You will not be disappointed. Thank you again Maria!!

Maria was phenomenal! I highly recommend her. She was professional, highly talented and truly executed a beautiful vision. I was so nervous for the photography session, however she made me feel like a natural! You will not be disappointed in hiring her. Every photo perfectly captured the emotion and romance of our maternity shoot. I was blown away by her attention to detail and her motivation to continue our shoot despite the inclement weather. I will definitely hire her again!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is listed on my website. It is updated yearly. My quote may be a base price. The more details provided about what you are looking for can adjust the quote.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love to meet with potential clients before the session. If not an in person consultation we will chat by phone or through email. With weddings an in person meeting before we book is important to see if we are a match. Together we decide a date, time and location for family, senior , engagement or newborn sessions. For weddings we talk about plans, timelines and sign a contract. After all the details are worked out the fun part starts...the photo session!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a self taught photographer. Years of taking photos, reading, taking workshops and tons of practice. I am always learning new things that I use in my photos and different poses/styles that I will use at my sessions. Photography is always changing and it is exciting to learn what is new.
