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.

Maria has been doing our family photos for 5 years now. I was looking for a photographer that caught those unposed organic moments of families. My halls are covered in Maria’s photography. Book her, you simply will not regret it!
Maria was extremely helpful figuring out outfits before the photos! We got our pictures back very quickly and love them!
Quiet parks, open fields, and easy light. Family photos in Irvine, California give you a relaxed backdrop that feels close to home.
Modern architecture, artsy backdrops, and creative spaces. Costa Mesa is perfect for families who want something a little different.
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 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."
