Hi, I am
maria Stokolosa
based in San Francisco Bay Area
After years in the corporate world, I traded documents for shutters six years ago to follow my heart. As a mom of two, I’ve realized firsthand how quickly time slips through our fingers, which is why I don’t just take pictures—I capture "time capsules."
My philosophy is simple: a photograph should be a portal. I strive to create emotive, honest images that allow you to relive the laughter, the quiet glances, and the fleeting magic of your most precious moments for decades to come.
 
 
"How wonderful to be who I am, made out of earth and water, my own thoughts, my own fingerprints — all that glorious, temporary stuff."
