Babies are my true love and passion. Babies before they are born, while they are born, and after they are born is the heart of my photography work. Scroll down to learn about my offerings and click the links to see more.

Babies, before they are born…

Maternity images are one of my favorite opportunities to be creative. I like to think about the session as a chance to write a story for your future baby about what the world was like just before they got here.

This liminal space, the in-between period before everything changes, is a transition that is so important to capture and save. To be a mammal is profound, and you deserve photos that document and celebrate this irretrievable moment.

Babies, while they are born…

Birth photography is my specialization and I invite you to visit my birth-specific site to learn more about how I help you remember the most important day of your life.

Babies, after they are born…

Newborn photography might seem like a luxury, but it is the only way to freeze time as the days blur together and your baby only gets bigger.

I offer both studio sessions and in-home/lifestyle sessions. I consider the planning for your session to be an important part of the creative process, and I provide a session style guide for you to give me input into colors, props, and sets that resonate for you.

I am trained in newborn safety (and fully vaccinated), as well as being a certified doula - and it is my deepest honor to meet your baby when they are brand new and to document their earliest squishy days. You can read more about my studio and the creative process for my sessions in this article about me).

Client Love (click arrows to read more)

Truly a wonderful experience start to finish. Maria is not only incredibly professional but also creative and intentional every step of the way. It’s clear she takes every client seriously and works hard to showcase the personality of the subject. Working with her was amazing and we can’t wait for the next session! - Christina, newborn client

Maria’s photos from our labor journey are incredible. They are so authentic and capture every moment- the hard, the easy, the joyful, the exhaustion.

Maria herself was awesome. She communicated well, was prompt in responses and I never was worried she would miss an important moment.

I was nervous it might feel intrusive having someone in the delivery room, but it never felt that way. My husband and I were still able to have private moments —which Maria subtly captured, and felt like we had solid family time once our little one arrived.

The photos are STUNNING. She was wonderful and patient with our newborn and our toddler while getting the 1-week old photos.

I highly highly recommend Maria for any birth, young family moments! - Jenna, birth client

Our studio session with Maria was such a wonderful experience! All the communication leading up to the session was very clear and we felt like we were well prepared. Maria's got a real gift for interacting with newborns - swaddling, shushing, posing, reading the cues. We felt so comfortable in the home studio - there were comfy spaces where we could breastfeed and change our baby. Our final shots are so beautiful and we will treasure them forever! - Morgan, newborn client

Maria did my birth and newborn photos. I am so impressed with her talent. Her very kind energy and calm presence made it seem like she wasn’t even in the room. I’m in awe of what she captured for us. And I still put my son to sleep the way she did at our newborn shoot. She is the best hands down. - Kaylan, birth client

Maria’s presence at the birth of our third child was that of a close friend, supportive and unassuming, perfectly catching the smallest details and the big moment for us. I wish she had been at all my births. The photos continue to garner an emotional response from me every time I view them. - Emilee, birth client

Maria photographed our daughter when she was just a week old and we cherish the images she captured. The first few days with a newborn are such a blur, having those photos reminds us of that fleeting time with our tiny baby. We are so grateful! - Mary Alice, newborn client
