Hi, I'm Maria, a British woman who met someone special at a summer camp, fell in love, maintained a long-distance relationship for three years, moved to Texas and started a family.
To keep my friends and family back home updated, I began capturing moments of my daughter through photography. What began as a means to share her adorable outfits and milestones blossomed into a deep passion for photography.
To me, photography is like a spark that brightens an ordinary day. I find inspiration not in grand events, but in the small, delicate moments that surround me – captured simply by paying attention.

I AM YOUR
My aim is to capture genuine moments, not forced smiles or repeated poses. I'll take what comes and turn it into a beautiful memory. Trust me when I say I put my entire soul into your photos. I want my images to bring you love, happiness, joy and take you back to these moments for decades to come.
Natural, Playful, Authentic
Throughout my life, I have felt compelled to create in different ways. Becoming a mother brought with it new purpose and aspirations, and a yearning to document my own story in such a way that my memories never slip away. I needed to capture not only the “events” in my life, but the everyday hum that feels forever set, but that changes in a blink. Taking photos gave me a superpower. I could step back in time, back to that place, and remember not only how it looked, but what I was feeling. Capturing and preserving these memories is what drives me to put our whole heart into my work.
When I'm not behind the lens, I'm hanging out with family, drinking coffee, attempting to take back control of the Alexa playlist, going for a run, or mentally redecorating the house. I am happiest in wild and beautiful places. And capturing people, in all their joys and complexities, is what makes my heart sing.
