Born and raised in Southern California, I bring a fresh take to lifestyle family photography. I live in Irvine, CA with my husband and son, and I know firsthand how important it is to capture the little moments that pass quickly. My background in graphic design shaped the way I see color, light, and storytelling, but becoming a mom made me want photos that felt real and unposed. When I couldn’t find them, I started creating them.
Now, almost 8 years later, I photograph families across Orange County and beyond. My sessions are laid-back and playful so you can enjoy time together while I document the story. If you’re looking for candid, elevated family photography in Irvine or Orange County, I’d love to create something for your family.

ABOUT
Maria
Capturing candid family moments comes naturally to me, inspired by the way my mother documented our lives. I love connecting with people who appreciate photos that are real, heartfelt, and full of meaningful memories.
My process is simple: relaxed sessions, natural interactions, and an editorial eye for color and storytelling. I help with styling, location selection, and gentle posing so your photos feel effortless and true to your everyday, whether at home, in Irvine, or along the Laguna Beach coast.
