Real Stories from Real Families

–Claire D.

"Maria was pure magic to work with. She took the time to get to know about our family in advance and was available and open for chats about what we were looking for. In the sea of photos we take of our kids, it’s so nice to have some intimate, real photos taken of our family that I can print and cherish. Thank you SO much Maria."

–Client N., Location

"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."

–Nikki E.

"Maria is the BEST family photographer! She captured my little family so beautifully and honestly. She was super easy going and made the whole experience feel really natural. All of the photos feel organically us and if you’ve had those moments when you’re playing and wish someone could capture the moment - that’s exactly what she delivers. She’ll be our family photographer for years to come!"
