Hi, I'm Mariana

I’m a photographer with a love for capturing images that feel as unique and genuine as you are. My goal is to create a comfortable, easygoing vibe so your true self shines through—because the best photos are the ones you can *feel*. I’ve been behind the lens for almost 20 years, starting with film photography as a teenager, and my love for it has only grown since then. When I’m not snapping photos, I’m a full-time nurse practitioner, a proud mom to two sweet little girls, and a wife. I love coffee, adventures, and a sucker for a really good camera lens. I’d love to help you capture moments that mean the world to you!

Mariana has been my family photographer for every baby/kid milestone, holiday + “just because” session for more than 5 years! I have 2 little boys (who do not sit still!) - every time I think there can’t be one good shot Mariana’s natural creativity turns unexpected moments into 100 options of truly organic and fun photos that our family can enjoy forever! She keeps things light, fun, all while working magic. I couldn’t recommend Mariana more highly!

Over the years, Mariana has captured our family's most cherished moments. Her attention to detail is impressive, effortlessly managing poses, props, and backgrounds, which eases stress during the sessions. Not only does she excel in her own ideas, but she also welcomes inspiration, creating a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. I highly recommend booking with her!
