"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!"

Hi, I’m Maria—a family photographer based in Irvine, CA, creating relaxed, beautiful images that feel
like your family.

Welcome to my Studio Family Session—a one-hour shoot in a calm, natural light space. Your session includes a full gallery of 40+ images, with a $150 deposit to reserve your date.


Designed for families who want honest, connection-forward photos with minimal direction and an easy flow.


I’ll guide you on outfit choices that feel like you and photograph beautifully. From first email to final delivery, the process is easy and intentional—just show up and be yourselves.

"If you are looking for a photographer who is going to make the entire process from start to finish so easy, then book Maria! She was such a pleasure to work with. My family and I had such a fun time during our studio session. We can not wait to work with her again!"

"Studio sessions, reimagined—
clean, calm, and quietly beautiful."

If studio photos have felt overly posed in the past, this will feel different. Calm, minimal, and easy—like a breath out. We’ll work with soft light, thoughtful framing, and just enough direction to keep things moving naturally. 30–40 minutes in a beautiful space, and only the best images make the final cut.
