My "why"
The reason I got into photography was because I fell in love with capturing people in a candid and authentic way. I fell in love with storytelling through images. I fell in love with the idea that a picture is a universal language that speaks to the heart.
I have been professionally shooting portraits and weddings for 9 years. I am located in Mid-Michigan but I travel all over the state and out of state as well!

Maria, Words can't express how thankful we are that we found you and were lucky enough that you had our date available to capture our wedding! You flawlessly fit into the day and captured every special moment. I think I have looked at our photos a hundred times and still tear up. I look at them and remember every moment so clearly and am reminded of the little details that I may have missed during the day. Thank you for being so relaxed. You can tell that you love what you do. It shines when you are smiling

We finally told our family, and they absolutely LOVED the photos. It was so much fun being able to share our moment with them through your artwork.
I also wanted to say thanks for helping us keep the secret! We have officially told everyone now so it is a secret no more!
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts

Anastasia & Ethan
It was incredible to have no fear about our wedding photos turning out equally amazing (and even better) than our engagement photos. There's far too many other things to worry about the day of! I kept telling her she was the calm to my storm. I was stressed about "what's next" on our wedding day and she reminded me, "just be in the moment, I got you". Her calm, yet encouraging demeanor made every moment of our special day that much better.

Lauren & Damian
Maria, you have an incredibly remarkable talent. Thank you for exceeding every expectation we had, for rolling with every curveball we encountered that day, for being a constant "you got this" reminder, and for capturing our wedding so perfectly. You weren't only our photographer, but you helped keep my head on my shoulders when problems surfaced. You were the photographer, assistant, emotional support, and friend in that day. I am forever thankful for you and your talent! We are extremely grateful!
