She needs to be more forthright in her business dealings. She agreed upon the location and then later stated that she does not serve the area. I attempted to reschedule for a later date, and she indicated I would have to pay again. She refused to refund our deposit.

Wonderful work absolutely kind. An answer every question I had. Did awesome
I'm a musician. I hired Maria for headshots and publicity photos. I had a great experience. I love the photos, and the experience of working with Maria was extremely easy and pleasant. I highly recommend her, and I hope I'll be able to work with her again in the future. :)
Maria was a great photographer! She was very flexible, easy to work with, and professional. She did an amazing job! I highly recommend Maria!
Thank you so much for directing me for the poses and being so upbeat and engaging! I really had fun at the photoshoot. Below are my most faves. All of them were great, but these really stood out to me. Thanks for making me SMILE BIG! :D
Maria was wonderful to work with! She did a great job capturing all of our important moments and was flexible with our busy wedding day schedule!
I cannot say enough good things about Maria. From not only her work & eye for her art, but also her as a person. She was so friendly and gave amazing direction during the entire shoot to my family who needs all the direction we can get when it comes to photos. She was able to get amazing shots of our crazy toddler and 9 month old, even held the hand of our toddler when he wanted to walk with her. We will absolutely be using her for all photo needs from here on out. Her work is amazing and speaks for itself. Thank you Maria!
The photos came out very good and she sent them in a timely manor. I would happily hire her again for another event.
Maria is excellent at her job! She’s worth every penny! We truly couldn’t be happier with the results! Highly recommend her👍🏻♥️
I cannot even begin to say enough about Maria and her amazing photography skills! We had a small, intimate wedding and she captured our magical moments beautifully. She was so easy to work with, a great communicator and listener, and made my wife and I both feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We will definitely hire her again for any of our photography needs!
Maria was so sweet and a joy to work with. She was very patient and professional the entire time. And the pictures turned out amazing!! She is a wonderful photographer.
Maria was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I are both shy to pose, she made us feel super comfortable and took stunning shots! She was super fun to talk to too! Highly recommend!
We had such a wonderful session with Maria for our family photos. She made us feel comfortable and our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful!
Maria did an amazing job with our engagement photos. My fiancé and I were both very nervous (we hate pictures), but Maria made everything so easy and fun. We also were thrilled with the photos. She has a great eye for lighting and backdrop, and so many of the photos turned out beautiful. I can’t wait for her to shoot our wedding next year.
Maria was amazing to work with! I had a lot of questions in the beginning, and she was fantastic about answering them all. She's not just a person who happens to take photos, she's definitely a "photographer"! You can tell by the quality of her work, and the eye she has for lighting and scenes. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone out there looking for someone to take photos of their special occasion, and I would definitely work with her again!
Maria did a great job taking my family's pictures while we were all in town at the same time. We loved how quickly and efficiently she moved us, especially with two little kids. She was very attentive to how our hair and clothing was laying, and made us all feel good about ourselves. I definitely recommend her to anyone in the Portland area!
Maria is the best photographer I have ever worked with! She produced beautiful pictures that I can't stop looking at, she directed us in poses with ease, and she was extremely punctual and professional. I am beyond satisfied with the results and would recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer. Excellent.
It was a great experience. Maria took wonderful photos and was so easy to work with. I would hire her again!
I knew I made the right decision to hire Maria for our micro wedding because our photos came back great! Maria arrived on time to our wedding and was excellent to work with, she captured all the important moments of our wedding that I expressed to her. In addition, Maria was great about working with me on a pricing package that works best for my micro-wedding and I was happy with the value that she provided. I highly recommend Maria for your wedding photography needs.
As a shy photo-taker who was looking for a blend of professional and personal new photos, Maria was an incredibly thoughtful person to work with. She was willing to come my area and was immediately able to get creative and work with new surroundings, find good lighting, and provide recommendations on the details of my outfit, hair, and overall look. Given her directions, we captured the full range of photos that I was looking for--and all of this was done by her with such grace and tact! Also, her touchups on my favorite five were really well done. I'm so lucky I came across her profile here on Thumbtack and the next time I need a photoshoot, she will be my first choice!
