We were so happy Maria could squeeze us into her schedule even with me asking so last minute. Couldn’t be more thankful. I’d like to also add that she made the whole experience from the point of booking, to getting our photos smooth and easy. I would recommend her for your next photoshoot, she is so talented and we are so amazed at how our photos turned out!

So glad we chose to have Maria take our engagement photos! She was very professional and communicative throughout the process and most importantly, incredibly talented! Our pictures are beautiful!

It was a pleasure working with Maria for our maternity shoot! She is extremely professional and knew exactly how to direct us throughout the evening. Maria is also super responsive and quick to share with us our edited photos!! In addition, our photos turned out beautifully, and she really captured the sunset and atmosphere in every photo. I highly recommend her for any occasion! :)

We wanted to do family photos on a beach and after looking through thumbtack we found Maria. Due to Covid, finding a good time and aligning schedules is difficult, especially for a beach shoot but Maria was easy to coordinate with and we found a time eventually. Once we were in her capable hands we just let the session flow naturally (as much as humanly possible with a 4 year old) and followed her advice & prompts. The results, even on a very foggy beach day, speak for themselves. We really appreciated the amount of candid, natural moments she was able to capture. We now have a great collection of photos, expertly edited, that will be prominently displayed, as well as, shared with family members. We highly recommend Maria for any kind of photo session you have in mind and certainly look forward to work with Maria again for future family photo sessions.

It was pleasant to work with Maria on our family photoshoot, she is so patient and professional! She gave us good suggestions for our clothing color selections to best suit the scene. She is also very patient with our little one and just worked with the flow our girl leads. She captured her smiles and emotions naturally. The set of photos will be one of our best family memories in 2020!

Maria did our maternity photoshoot. She was very accomodative and even provided pictures before our agreed time. She was very patient with our shoot. Great value for the money

Maria's work is excellent. I am so happy that we got to work with her for our engagement photo session. Her work is superb, with close attention to detail. We didn't feel we were being rushed. My fiancee and I are usually not comfortable in front of cameras, but Maria made us feel so at- ease. Most importantly, she guided/directed us on how to pose without the feeling of awkwardness. I will always be a repeat customer. Take my advice: hire her. You wouldn't get disappointed if you chose her to capture your special moments.
