Hi I’m Maria!
I have dabbled with photography ever since I can remember! I realized I had a passion for portraits and that I was actually good at it when I started taking photos of my nephews! I work with kids full-time as a nanny and have been working with kids since graduating high school so most of my portfolio pictures feature my nanny kids and my family members!
I currently am based out of St. Paul, Minnesota but grew up in northern Minnesota. I like to think of my self as a city and a country girl because I am well equipped with both. Please picture “country girl” as a Minnesotan lumberjack more or less rather than a horse back rider…
I specialize in portraits but I am open to any questions regarding booking for something that might not be listed. I am an up-and-comer looking to gain more experience which is why my prices are so low, so book now! Right now is the lowest they will be!
My Approach
My general objective is being able to tell a story with photography. I believe taking photos is so much more than capturing memories, you get to capture love, friendship, beauty and most importantly humanity. It is easy to find myself focusing on the evil and ugly parts of life, especially these days. Photography allows me to show the wonderments of humanity and share it with the world.
a special thank you ….
I would like to give my most dear appreciation to families that have allowed me take and share their photos! I am very lucky to have a beautiful family and wonderful friends that have allowed me to capture their moments and be able to share them with you. You will also see my previous beautiful nanny kids on here being featured quite a bit because their parents allowed me to do photoshoots with them throughout the three years I worked with them, a special thank you to them as well!
To my reader; please enjoy my work so far and embrace the beauty of the people I love!
