family photos for the young

Family photography is about helping your family feel seen and comfortable. As a family photographer in Seattle, I guide families through the process of different family photo scenes with a mix of gentle direction and space for natural moments to unfold.
By blending candid and lifestyle, I capture genuine, heartfelt memories that reflect your unique story.
"Whether At-Home, outdoors, or in a studio, as a trusted seattle family photographer, i make the process of taking family photos seamless and stress-free."
STYLING ASSISTANCE
I offer full styling services to make selecting outfits stress-free and enjoyable. After we decide on a location, I’ll work with you to create a cohesive look that reflects your family’s personality and complements the setting. We’ll start by using pieces from your existing closet, focusing on what you already love and feel good about. Then, I’ll suggest any additional items that can tie everything together, ensuring your family’s outfits feel natural, coordinated, and perfect for your session.
My family sessions are easygoing and relaxed, focusing on genuine connections instead of stiff poses or forced smiles. I gently guide the process to keep things natural, making it feel like a casual hangout. If you’re looking for authentic family photos in Seattle, let’s create meaningful memories together!

PHOTOS THAT FEEL LIKE YOUR FAMILY

As a first-generation Latina born and raised in Southern California, I bring a fresh and unique perspective to family photography. Living in this vibrant, eclectic city, I share my creative life with my husband, a talented video game designer and musician, our lively young son, and our beloved cat.
My journey into photography began with a background in graphic design, which shifted focus after I became a mother. This foundation sharpened my eye for composition and helped me develop a distinctive approach to connecting with people through the lens. With a love for styling and design, I blend graphic design principles into my photography, curating visually striking compositions that tell authentic stories.
Now based in Seattle, I specialize in capturing genuine connections and the spontaneous moments that make family life so extraordinary. My goal is to create artful, heartfelt images that reflect the beauty of everyday life as I see and feel it through my camera.

"Maria is an absolute dream to work with. Her artistry is truly one of a kind and her work is unmatched. Her attention to detail is incredible and her demeanor makes you feel so at ease in front of the camera. I cannot express how lucky we feel to have had her photograph our wedding and we look forward to any opportunity to work with her in the future."
