I enjoyed working with Maria every step of the way. She guides you and lays out the entire process. Above all, Maria’s photography is spot on! I highly recommend her professional attitude and the photography she provides. Make it a great experience when capturing the best photo’s!

Maria took our family portrait in her studio. The session was an hour long and we didn't feel rushed at all. She did a wonderful job and she has a great personality while trying to get everyone in the correct poses. The photos looked great and I was very impressed with her work on the photographs. She digitally added a textured background to the photos which is exactly what I was looking for. She also suggested taking photos of just my son outside and I'm so glad she did because I absolutely LOVE the photos.

I had so much fun with you and your family, Lori. So glad you love the photos! I look forward to photographing your family more in the future!

To start, Maria is OUTSTANDING in both attitude and professionalism. About our project, I was seeking a family portrait near my mom’s residents and sought photographers in the PA area (I live in VA). We contacted Maria two months before the project in order to get ideas, costs, and address other planning concerns like color schemes and best times to shoot. Maria provided solid recommendations of ideas and places that were family friendly and within our budget. We settle on Longwood Gardens which provided great backdrops for multiple family poses. My family never been there before, but the place was very calm, warm and inviting and the kids were able to stretch their legs. In the end, I purchased several 8x12s of various poses (given to my wife, brother and sister) and two canvas photos of one pose (one for mom and me). I plan to purchase more as Christmas gifts later this year. I highly recommend Maria if you are seeking a personal and professional photographer who will take the time with you to plan your memorable moment.

Extremely pleased! Maria photographed my son for his senior portraits. She clearly enjoys what she does and it is evident in her work. We will be using her for all of our professional portraits in the future.

Maria was such a delight! She did an outdoor family portrait session for us and we absolutely loved the end result! She really made sure that we were happy with the shots during the session and she was such an easygoing person to work with. As a bonus, she did a great job entertaining our 6 month old!! We are so happy with our photos, and we definitely recommend Maria J Photography to all!
