family photos that feel
like you
I’m Maria, a family photographer in Orange County who does things differently. If you’ve ever left a session thinking, “That didn’t feel like us,” you’re not alone. My laid-back style is for families who want genuine laughs and real connection—not just smiles for the camera.
Life’s busy—snacks, school runs, all the little things. I’m here to make this one thing easy. From outfit tips to feeling comfortable in front of the camera, I’ll guide you. The result? Photos that feel like you—loving, real, and full of heart.
We’ll spend an hour together. You focus on your people; I’ll capture the moments you want to remember.

Golden cliffs, soft sand, and the Pacific Ocean at your feet. Laguna Beach is where family photos turn coastal evenings into keepsakes.
"My family and I enjoyed a casual Laguna Beach session while she stood back and captured it flawlessly. We all felt so comfortable during the session, and the photos truly reflected that. She is truly a master of her craft."
