Maria was absolutely divine to work with. She accommodated my schedule and was so patient with my pet. She offered to install our 📸 in a large frame at no cost. She is readonably priced for the outstanding quality of work provided. She captured the vibrance, vitality, and love of our family. I especially loved the candid shots the best. Thank you for helping us capture our memories!!
Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Home • Digital or online download • Physical proofs and prints • My home, venue, etc.

I seriously cannot express enough how happy we are that we found Maria. First - she is extremely professional; an unbelievable photographer (she captured the exact look and feel that I wanted with our photos at our daughter's first birthday party) second - she goes above and beyond. She arrived at our venue early for setup and made sure to scope the area for the perfect spot for photos. She brought props and MADE a beautiful #1 motif for photos (smash the cake) specially made for our baby girl, and we got to keep it! Third - the prints are stunning and again she went above and beyond and shipped the prints in a beautifully, personalized box. Maria- you are wonderful, lovely and so great to work with! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, especially the beautiful memories you captured of my family ❤️

Originally we had booked a Christmas mini, we showed up with my SIL, my husband and myself, we told her we had never gotten engagement pictures or wedding pictures or professional pictures at all and she was super happy to accommodate and accomplish both photos in the one session, she was super fun and easy to work with!

Maria and her husband did a fantastic job at our wedding! They spent the entire day with us and never lost an ounce of enthusiasm (even when the wedding party was getting tired). The two made our day extra special and the finished products captured the day beautifully!

This was a small wedding job but Maria treated it as the important day that it was to our niece and her new husband. The final photos (1 large and 2 smaller) captured the essence of the day and will be treasured by our niece for years to come. Maria's professionalism added the right touch to the event.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The price quoted here on Thumbtack is an estimate and could be higher or lower after a consultation.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I have an interested client, I like to work on the package that's right for them. After all is worked out, I then put everything in a contract so nothing gets left out.

I attend as many workshops as I can - online and on location
