Based near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, I serve laid-back couples by providing intentional & personalized photography experiences. Inspired by the beauty of nature and human connection, together we’ll create images that are meaningful and true to you as a couple.

Besides a photographer, I’m a believer, wife, and mom. Outdoor adventures with my family, homemade ice cream, and connecting with others makes my heart happy.

Hello Friend, I’m Maria

“I was blown away by how Maria helped us to be the best version of ourselves. We found ourselves forgetting about the camera and just being us... And the pictures reflect the truth of that. They are perfect. Perfect and perfectly us.”

- Rachel & Howard

What Couple’s Are Saying About Their Experiences:

“My fiancé and I have never gotten professional photos done before so we were so nervous about how to pose and what to do. All of our worries were completely unnecessary because Maria helped us so much; she took the most breathtaking photos of us and I am still in shock of how she made two camera shy people look that good!.”

- Lisa & Stephen
