"From the initial booking, consultation, and last minute wardrobe ideas - she was invested in our experience, and was such a pleasure to work with! We took family photos with our nearly 1 year old daughter, and she gave us direction on what we needed to do - and how to entertain our daughter. We are so happy with the photos, and can't wait to work with her in the future!"

"We had the pleasure of working with Maria for our family photos, and the entire experience was wonderful! Maria has an incredible eye for detail and managed to capture our family's personality perfectly. The photos turned out beautifully—natural, vibrant, and full of emotion. We will cherish these memories for years to come."
