Let’s get to know each other


Hi, my name is Maria!

My job is to tell your stories; to help you bottle those little moments to keep forever.


CINCINNATI LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHER


Photographer, Storyteller



I specialize in lifestyle portraits with images that tell a story - capturing the belly laughs, the small details, and everything in between. I love working with natural light  and I strive to capture genuine emotions and moments through organic/documentary-style images, rather than focusing on too much structured posing. I love to collaborate with my clients to find out what is most important to them and create an individualized experience for each session.



When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me with my nose in a book and a mug of London Fog in hand. I'm a Hufflepuff and "INFJ". I love camping, traveling (always with a prepared itinerary), and all things fantasy. I prefer salty foods over sweets (but I will never turn down cheesecake). 




I love when I hear a client say at the end of the session that the experience was so much easier than they thought it would be. Facilitating a photo session takes a lot of work  - coordinating outfits, making sure everyone is happy, getting there on time - and can be a huge stressor for folks. For these reasons I  try to incorporate a lot of “play” during my sessions and focus on capturing those moments. If my clients leave with smiles on their faces (especially children, the ultimate critics, haha), I feel like I’ve done a good job!
