Capturing your family memories
My goal is to capture a few family portraits and then capture the true essence of your family by photographing more emotive moments that you will cherish for years to come.
My Services
Families
I offer three different packages to meet your needs. Sessions are outdoors, weather-permitting.
Newborn
All sessions are in my studio and include use of my ever-growing newborn prop collection. We can also arrange for a lifestyle session in the comfort of your home.
Maternity
There is no better way to celebrate the excitement of your bundle of joy than with a maternity session.
Milestones
Turning one is a milestone worth celebrating. You can choose from a fully styled custom experience or something clean, simple, and classic.
Hello, I'm Maria!
Coffee in hand, chasing golden light, getting lost in a good love story—that’s my happy place. I’ve always been drawn to the quiet magic of everyday moments, the kind that linger long after they’ve passed.
I picked up a camera in college, thinking I’d just learn to document my own future family. I had no idea it would turn into something so much bigger—a passion rooted in love, nostalgia, and the belief that our stories deserve to be remembered.
At my core, I’m a sentimental soul. I believe the most meaningful moments aren’t always loud or planned—they’re the fleeting ones: a tender glance, the weight of a newborn in your arms, the soft glow of anticipation in pregnancy. These are the moments I live to capture.
Whether I’m photographing your growing belly or your baby’s tiny fingers, I show up with care, patience, and the same love I’d give my own family. It’s never just about the photos—it’s about creating something honest and lasting.
Being invited into your world is something I never take lightly. It’s a privilege I hold close.

Saiya, the sweetest little girl with the sparkliest eyes
Every baby is a miracle. Some miracles simply take a little more time, a little more hope, and a little more faith.
And after all the waiting, wishing, and wondering, finally meeting that tiny miracle makes the moment feel even sweeter. I will never take for granted being a tiny part of this family’s journey. It seems like yesterday when she told me they were going to start their journey once again. I always get nervous and so when she told me she was pregnant I was beyond happy for them. All families leave a little imprint in my heart, but some just leave a deeper one.
I am BACK! I been consumed with making the most of summer with my little guy. I had to go back home for the longest stretch of time since I got married (14 years) and stayed a little over 3 weeks. My mom had some health issues and also so Santi could enjoy his cousins without them constantly going from school to soccer practice. I am excited to get back into my routine and to continue creating memories for these beautiful babies I get the honor to document.
I got to do Frannie’s brother’s cake smash years back, and I was so happy to be asked to do Frannie’s. I loved not only seeing Nelson in his new role as an older brother, but also seeing how wonderfully their family has grown and catching glimpses of Nelson in his baby sister.
Happy Father’s day! I have been lucky enough to have worked with some amazing dads!
