family photos for the young
at heart
I’m Maria, a family photographer in Irvine, CA, specializing in laid-back sessions for families who want to look good and feel like themselves. Think genuine laughs,
and the kind of photos that show real connection, not just smiles for the camera.
They’re growing fast, and you’re in the thick of it—juggling snacks, school runs, and all the little things that fill your days. I’m here to make this one thing feel easy. From what to wear to how to feel comfortable in front of the camera, I’ll guide you through it all. The result? Photos that feel like you—loving, real, and full of heart.
We’ll spend an hour together, you focus on your people, and I’ll capture the moments you’ll cherish when life moves fast.
Ready? Let’s make it happen.
