All About Me, Maria.

Mommy has big dreams and she chases them. If she can - I can too.

I want my children to believe this.

In December 2023, I welcomed my 4th and last child into this wild world. When I tell you that my children are my life, I mean it. Photography, thankfully, was put in my stars because I truly believe my greatest purpose in life is to break a cycle and raise my children with high priority for dream chasing, kindness and love so they can leave their mark on this world.


There is no "too big" for us. There is only "how do we get there?" When I was a little girl I dreamed up becoming a singer who played guitar and sang on stages. Though I didn't reach the big stages I envisioned - I did and still actively play, write and preform music on a small, enjoyable scale. Little did I know that the "album covers" I used to take of myself using the timer on my Coolpix camera was a little manifestation to the pure joy I would end up receiving as a photographer. Looking back, I have enjoyed my main craft for years.

My Business goals:

Dramatic dark studio photoshoot with moody lighting on wooden floor.

I. Grow a team

After unfortunately having to decline multiple inquiries for weddings because of already being book, I have a long term 2-3 year goal of growing a team of trustworthy photographers who will help me provide extraordinary wedding day service and shooting while I maintain communication and editing.

II. Educate Others

When I started my business I carried a huge desire to educate other photographers. I love sharing opportunities and the freedom photography brought me as a mother. Podcast? Blog? The wheels are spinning.

III. Editorial Direction

While I believe keeping a traditional style and being fluent in different styles of photography is important for business growth - I hope to exercise my editorial style more. You may see my editing, prompts and over all photo emotion become more natural and story telling.
