Hello! I'm Maria!

I am a maternity, family and newborn photographer based in Erie, Pennsylvania.

I am married to my high school sweetheart, have an almost 2 year old toddler and two adorable Pomeranians. I am coffee obsessed and enjoy a good movie.

I like eating out, traveling, hanging out with family and friends. I specially love having deep conversations and getting to hear people's life stories and getting to connect with people on a deeper level...not of that small talk stuff.

I took a photography class while in college to stay busy while my husband was in medical school and it soon became a passion. I am a dental hygienist and have a bachelors in psychology and biology but after struggled with my own journey to motherhood I realized the importance of slowing down and appreciating each and every day. Photography then became not only a passion of mine but a way of coping. I felt drawn to capture the magic and beauty of an expectant mother and those fast fleeiting newborn early days. My goal as a photographer is to capture these moments and stages of life for you and your special ones. There is nothing more rewarding than getting to capture those fast fleeting newborn moments. I pride myself in treating those few hours I spend with your newborn with the most care, patience and love. I especially get giddy when the little ones remember me and get excited to see me again. 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.
