Maria was absolutely incredible. This was my first time doing a photoshoot and Maria helped me to feel so comfortable and confident. The shoot was quick, easy, seamless, and she really is a true expert at what she does. Not to mention, my pictures turned out STUNNING. I could not have asked for a better experience, and I will surely be doing any future shoots with only her. Thank you so much Maria - you are honestly the best at what you do!!

I had a sudden spark of inspiration to have family pictures taken while I was in town and quickly found Maria- who was available for a next day shoot. She responded quickly and provided a comprehensive contract that put me at ease that I dealing with a true professional . She was communicative, and arrived the next day punctual and was an absolute joy. My whole family enjoyed the process and we received beautiful pictures in just a few days. I would definitely hire Maria Hopewell again and will recommend to friends.

Maria was incredible to work with! She was so kind and great at giving direction. She really helped us loosen up and helped make beautiful photos happen! She was also very flexible with finding a location and fighting the rainy weather. Could not recommend her enough !

We initially hired Maria for the maternity shots but our baby came early! She converted our session to a newborn and family photo. Communication with Maria was seamless and she took time to explain and answer all our questions. Her studio is very clean and she treated our son like her own child! She kept communicating with us about each shot, and even fed our baby! We honestly would hire her again for any future events/sessions. I highly recommend her!
