Portraits

Capturing the Chaos,

Cherishing the Moments

My goal is to capture the real, unfiltered moments that make your family yours. I get it—life with kids can be crazy, but that’s what makes these moments so special! I love catching those little bursts of laughter, sweet hugs, and all the spontaneous moments that make your family unique. Of course, we’ll get that perfect shot where everyone is looking at the camera, but I’m all about making sure the whole session feels relaxed and fun. It’s not just about the photos—it’s about preserving the wild, beautiful chaos and the love that shines through every moment!

Love Notes

Why take my word for it? Let them do the talking! They’re all about the love!”

Maria is responsive, a pleasure to work with, and offers a variety of packages. Her dynamic energy and great sense of humor make every session enjoyable, and I always walk away with multiple photos I love.

Liz R .

Maria has an amazing eye, takes beautiful, flattering photos, and makes everyone feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Highly recommend for family photos (including ones with “challenging” children – she can make miracles happen!).

Lauren R .

Maria is such a wonderful photographer. From the moment we met her, we immediately connected with her and felt at ease taking photos with our young family. The kids love her and her patience in undeniable. She is the best and we look forward to our photos every year.

We Have Answers

How do I book?

Okay, so here’s the deal: all bookings go through an online system, and you can easily pay via credit card or Stripe. To kick things off, just shoot me an email. Let’s get you set up!

Do you have a travel fee?

Heads up! If your location is more than a 45-minute drive from Timonium, MD, there’ll be a travel fee. And if it’s over 1.5 hours away, I’ll need to add the cost of a hotel stay too. Just keeping it real so you know what to expect.

What is your turnaround time?

The turnaround time is about 2 weeks, so you’ll have your photos ready to go in no time.

The weather is awful, what do we do?

Clouds? Instant natural diffuser—bring on the dreamy shots! 

Rain or temps under 30 degrees? Nope, not happening. No one’s smiling when their fingers are frozen! If the weather’s being tricky, we’ll just reschedule and catch the perfect day.

What is the best time of the day?

No question about it, sunset is the sweet spot. The lighting is soft, golden, and just gives everything that perfect, dreamy vibe. Trust me, when that glow hits your face, it’s pure magic. 

What do I wear?

After your complete the booking, I will send you my style guide to help with figuring out what to wear and sometimes more importantly, what not to wear.
