Having Maria photograph our family was the best gift and investment to ourselves. She is an artist and captured us both authentically and beautifully. I underestimated how valuable these photos and experience were.

Maria was extremely helpful figuring out outfits before the photos! We got our pictures back very quickly and love them! Highly recommend Maria if you’re looking for newborn photos that aren’t overly posed.
