We had the best experience having Maria as our wedding photographer! I knew on our first phone call together that she was a great match for us! Not only was her gallery phenomenal, she seemed very down to earth and had the energy of someone we would want to be around on our special day! We were right! From the moment she walked into the bridal suite I felt excited, as well as at ease. She was part of the crew ! She gave suggestions and cues as well as captured the natural beauty of the day. Maria was truly such a blessing on our wedding day. I am so grateful that we picked her !! She has a great eye for heartwarming photos and knows what she is doing ! I look forward to having Maria be our photographer for any other future life events. Highly recommend!!

Maria was all around amazing! The pictures she delivered with an uncooperative toddler and un-photogenic parents were absolutely stunning. She found the best location to take the photos and was extremely patient with us and our 2 year old. Book her for your next shot! You will not regret! She has an amazing talent!

I recently had a maternity photoshoot with Maria.It was an exceptional experience for both of us. She made us feel comfortable and at ease right from the start, an aspect so crucial during such a special time in our lives. Her professionalism shone through the entire session. She was punctual, well-prepared, and had a clear, creative vision that accommodated both of us beautifully. The quality of the photos is nothing short of outstanding. Each image is a masterpiece, capturing not only the beauty and emotion of my pregnancy but also the shared joy and anticipation my husband and I are experiencing. The lighting, angles, and composition of the photos are superb, creating treasured memories we will cherish forever. The value of Maria's service is unquestionable. The pricing was reasonable, especially considering the exceptional quality and the number of photos we received. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone in need of a photographer. Her talent, professionalism, and her unique ability to create a comfortable and engaging environment are truly outstanding. She is an amazing person and I wish her the very best for all her future endeavors. Thank you, Maria, for perfectly capturing this beautiful chapter in our life!
