Hi! I’m Maria, I’m glad you’re here…

I know it may seem cliché, but I discovered a love for photography in the third grade (and I have the certificates to prove it) but never took it too seriously until I became a mother. It was then that I became obsessed with capturing every moment that I could and having a way to keep those sweet memories still forever.  I married my best friend in 2008. Since then I have been  a proud Navy wife. We have lived in Texas, Florida, Virginia and South Carolina, but for today, Virginia is where we call home.  My family is my strength that keeps me going and photography is my passion that keeps me believing that there is always something new. Since 2012 I have been taking on clients and helping create memories to pass on to the generations to come. I made a commitment to myself to never let the job become more important than the experience because each experience is new. When you love doing something, you aren’t working, you are living. And when you cherish each person you work with, you will always find beauty in them. 
I look forward to being your photographer and capturing those memories for you to pass down!
