Reviews

"I’m completely in love with the pictures Maria took for us. It was an awesome experience from start to finish. Maria is such a great person and she made us feel really confident and ourselves during the shooting, besides she is an absolute professional.

The day of our shooting she suggested us to go to the beach to see the sunset and the results couldn’t be better. The pictures turned out stunning.

Maria also surprised us with champagne to drink during the sunset which made the moment even more special.

At the end of this experience we are very happy with the amazing pictures. Every person that we show the pictures says they are perfect!

Plus we have a great memory of those moments we had at the beach, enjoying ourselves.

Furthermore we had a sneak peek and all of the pics in a very short time after the shooting.

Can’t wait to have her as our wedding photographer!”

"Maria was so sweet, professional, and captured the mood I was going for. We booked her for our first ever holiday photo card and was very pleased with the outcome as well as how quickly she sent the photos. My little one was only 4 months old when we had our session, so at times he wasn’t really up to be photographed, but she was so patient with us. She also found some great locations for us and we didn’t have to do any work. She’s great at what she does and hopefully we can work with her again for next year’s photos.”

"Maria is an absolute gem! Her photography is the perfect blend of modern, timeless, and artistic. She is incredibly responsive and thoughtful and went above and beyond all of our expectations for our engagement session. Maria took time to craft a perfect itinerary for our session that felt simultaneously structured and spontaneous.

We are thrilled to have her with us for our wedding day next year. We can't imagine a better individual to help capture one of the most important days of our life and will tell literally anyone that will listen how much we recommend and adore her. :)”

"Maria was our wedding photographer, and was absolutely wonderful for the entire experience, would so highly recommend her (and have done so to all my friends, family, wedding guests, etc)!

She took time to really get to know us beforehand, and prepped us so we knew exactly what to expect. She blended perfectly with our group the day of, was super helpful while the bridal party was getting ready, and then I don’t recall seeing her again once the reception started. But I know she was there because the photos are gorgeous, perfectly capture our special day!

She’s also just a really really nice person, an absolute joy to be around! Thanks so much for everything!”

Got questions? I’ve got answers.

I'm awkward in front of the camera, how do I learn to pose?

I got great news for you, you don’t need to worry about posing, we will have plenty of time to chat and warm up to each other before me pulling my camera out. The secret is that I don’t like poses at all! I will guide and prompt you and your partner into actions that you both can actually relate in your normal lives, I thrive in making real happy memories instead of stiff model poses.

What happens after we hire you as our photographer?

First of all, thank you so much for bringing me on board! Once you pick your favorite collection or customize your own, you will be redirected to a contract and invoice. Your date is safe in my calendar once the first payment is placed, you can use credit or debit cards. You will have unlimited access to my assistance through my inbox and personal phone number, I would love to help throughout the process. In the weeks approaching your date you will get a questionnaire that will help me capture your day in an extra special way and we will chat again to review all the details.

What are the accepted payment methods? And how to secure my date?

Credit and debit cards, bank transfer, Zelle and Venmo are accepted, let me know if you prefer another way! For weddings, elopements and micro weddings, the retainer to be paid at booking is $800, the remainder can be paid until 30 days before your event. For all other sessions, $150 is due at booking and the remaining balance should be paid until 24 hours prior to the session.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! I believe creating forever memories should fit anyone’s pocket so we always find a way to split payments when necessary. Your balance can be split in small monthly payments, halves, thirds, or paid in full, whatever works the best for you (with no interest rate).

Are travel fees included in your packages?

I can send a custom quote for destinations outside the DMV area. Many destinations have a promotional pricing so don’t be shy to ask!

How many photos do I receive?

A good estimate is about 60 images per hour.

Do you offer printing and other wall display?

YES! Integrated with your personal gallery you will find awesome products to show off your images.

How long is the typical turn around for our photos?

All galleries are delivered within 8 weeks.
