My philosophy

Lasting memories through breathtaking, soulful imagery

Nice to meet you! I’m Maria, a professional photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

I believe that real life is the best backdrop.

Working with me is about more than just a photo session; it’s about storytelling. I trade studio lights for the sun at the beach or the comfort of your own home to capture you exactly as you are. I don’t use heavy retouch or forced poses because I believe your family's natural connection is already perfect. Let’s create a gallery that allows you to truly feel these moments every time you look back.

Testimonials

"So glad we chose to have Maria take our engagement photos! She was very professional and communicative throughout the process and most importantly, incredibly talented! Our pictures are beautiful!"

Jasmine S.

"It was a pleasure working with Maria for our maternity shoot! She is extremely professional and knew exactly how to direct us throughout the evening. Maria is also super responsive and quick to share with us our edited photos!! In addition, our photos turned out beautifully, and she really captured the sunset and atmosphere in every photo. I highly recommend her for any occasion! :)"

Maria's work is excellent. I am so happy that we got to work with her for our engagement photo session. Her work is superb, with close attention to detail. We didn't feel we were being rushed. My fiancee and I are usually not comfortable in front of cameras, but Maria made us feel so at- ease. Most importantly, she guided/directed us on how to pose without the feeling of awkwardness. I will always be a repeat customer.

Take my advice: hire her. You wouldn't get disappointed if you chose her to capture your special moments.
