I used Mara for my bridal shower and wow- she was incredible! Super easy to work with, personable, reliable, and captured the day beautifully through her photos. She documented every detail perfectly including awesome candid shots of my guests and myself, detail shots, and group photos. She made sure I got any photo I wanted. She delivered the photos to me digitally just two days later which was so appreciated. I highly recommend Mara for your future photography needs!

Working with Mara was a dream. She helped guide my creative vision and turn it into a reality. Even before we had the photo event, Mara was meticulous and extremely responsive. We received our photos back quickly, and fell in love with every single one of them. If you are reading this, please hire Mara.

We had a wonderful experience working with Mara, she was professional and responsive to all of my inquiries. She was warm, patient, and incredibly attentive to detail, capturing each special moment with care and artistry. Mara has a natural ability to make children feel comfortable in front of the camera, which truly brought out their personalities in every shot. All the photos were beautifully composed and thoughtfully edited, preserving the spirit and joy of the day. We're so grateful for her work and we will have her to capture our future events. I am highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and kind photographer!

THANK YOU, Yohanna! Photographing your piano students' recital in Manhattan was such fun - they've worked so hard throughout the year and that clearly showed. Loved how proud of themselves they were - looking forward to the next one!
