Introduction
As a photographer & videographer, I seek to capture the unique aura of each individual I have the privilege of working with.
Each session comes with a consultation, discussing your vision, style, hopes, concerns, expectations, etc. I understand that being photographed can be a very sensitive and daunting process for some. I will always listen attentively to the needs my clients and accommodate to any special requests to the best of my abilities.
My style is often described as artistic, editorial, clean and captivating.
I specialize in individual, couples or family portraits. My favorite is maternity and newborn photos. I also have experience with small intimate weddings and videography.
Thank you for considering me for documenting your special moments. Thank you for supporting part-time photographer and full time mama 🤍

The photos turned out really nice. We appreciated Maxine's responsiveness and willingness to come to our location. She was also great working with our toddler.

I highly recommend working with Maxine! We hired her for a family photoshoot for 5 people plus my dog. She was able to have a very fast turn around time and offer very artistic and beautiful photos of us :) She is very professional and friendly and you should hire her for your next photoshoot.

Hands down the best photographer in Seattle! I reached out last minute to schedule a photography session and immediately got a response and was able to book a session! My boyfriend and I were traveling into town for the weekend. We felt so at ease with Maxi. Such a beautiful, downtown soul who will capture candid moments. 😊💕 Definitively recommend Maxi! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We had the best photo experience with Maxi! We are from North Carolina and visiting the Seattle area for the holidays, and we wanted to do some last-minute family photos.
Maxi was quick to respond, fun to work with, and very efficient. She captured our family in such a natural way and made the whole photo experience enjoyable and effortless, even with our kids! Maxi made the extra effort to scout out the area beforehand… in the snow. Amazing!
Our photos are stunning, and we would ask Maxi to take photos again in a heartbeat.

Our family photo session with Maxine was such a joy. She made us all feel comfortable and enjoy our time together. I truly appreciate her love for photography and how fast her turn around was with the photos is unheard of. She is flexible with scheduling and takes the time to ask detailed questions about your family and the ideas you envision for your session. Thank you Maxine for your kindness, professionalism and taking the time to incorporate our needs. I highly recommend her services.
