Picture this. Camille and Trevis are laying on their bed snuggling with their 10-day-old first baby. I'm standing over them them making them laugh and getting emotional at the same time. I see tears coming out of Camille's smiling eyes and I have chills that fill my whole soul.
At that moment, I realized why I do what I do. I help families experience the deep love that they have for each other. I make sure to freeze their sweetest memories so they can always go back to it and feel a deep sense of gratitude.
For me, my photography journey begin 30 years ago when my dad gave me my first camera. At age of 16 I started backpack traveling around the world and I never stopped photographing. One day my first baby was born. I was so in love with everything I was living that I didn't want to forget and I don't want you either!

My clients come to me over and over for a few reasons, but the first one is that I'm passionate. I love documenting the bonding and connection of your family. The smiles, the giggles, the touch. But I also believe this whole process needs to be easy, natural, relaxed, and fun! I'm all about capturing your authenticity. And last, I'm also a busy mother and I know your plate is full. So I make sure you have an easy maternity photography experience from start to finish. I'll guide you, I'll hold your hands, and will take care of every single detail for you... so you can focus on what's more important to you!

We had several shoots with her already and cannot wait for the next (already booked!). I highly recommend hiring her if you want honest and beautiful photos of you and your family!"
"I am not someone who is usually comfortable in front of the camera but Mariana is so easy-going and genuine that it was just really easy to be natural and act like myself in front of her camera. If anything she was actually able to make me feel like a mama-goddess."

You guys are running late... suddenly your husband presses the brake, your child screams, the baby cries, your eyeliner slides and you have nothing to clean your black eye off with while you attempt to get ready for your photo session in the (moving) car!
This could have been just a nightmare scene, but it was reality for me so many times. From a dreamed photo session to a real nightmare! But guess what, I don't want this to happen to you! So it was thinking about all the possible stressful factors a photo session can bring that I reinvented and designed our luxurious photography experience.
If you don't have experience yet, just bear with me. If you do, I'm sure you can relate...
Before we even start planning I know your plate is full, you're probably tired and potentially overwhelmed trying to manage life with little ones. It can be tough, time and energy could be lacking.
Just finding the right photographer who is aligned with your style and family needs is already challenging. If you're picky like me it could be almost an impossible mission!
After that, you still need to plan family outfits, location, make sure your baby isn't cranky or doesn't skip a nap. Make sure your husband isn't in a bad mood because he needs to pose to a random photographer he (and your kiddos) probably won't feel comfortable with.
On top of all that you need to feel great to smile, and connect with your family after having lost your temper with the eyeliner accident in the moving car. lol
You receive your images and all you can remember is your baby screaming because he was hangry and you don't feel like you looked your best for all the time you invested in this. Your dream gallery wall and photo album never become a reality because just thinking about starting the process to make them happen makes you dizzy!
