You are unique and your story, during this turning point of your life, needs to be told! You deserve a photographer who will take your vision and help you create your personalized once in a lifetime senior portrait experience, because that experience matters.
Your senior experience with me isn’t about just getting that one shot for the yearbook, it is about experiencing a day you won’t forget. It is my job to make you feel comfortable. You don't have to be a model for me to be able to capture your authentic and absolutely beautiful self and make you shine! It is about creating images that make a statement and define who you are in this season of your life.
It is about capturing your essence so that when you look back at that photo of yourself in 20 years, you’ll be reminded of the beauty that always shone and the countless dreams you had (for yourself).
Creating your unique senior portrait experience requires planning and preparation; it is a detailed and very exciting process that will result in gorgeous images you will admire for years to come! Your ideal outfits, the hair and makeup, the location are all components of your session that we will plan out together to make the experience unforgettable. By the day of your session, you’ll feel upbeat and excited!
When hiring Maria for my son’s senior portraits, my fear was if the photos were going to strike the right mix between casual yet professional. And boy did they! Both David and I love the images. The location she chose helped contribute to the great energy of the photos. We both really enjoyed the experience itself and then receiving the images back in a very timely manner and they were fabulous!

Maria was a pleasure to work with from the start. She is extremely professional and so accommodating to my son’s busy schedule. Ryan was so comfortable working with Maria! She has fabulous suggestions for the locations of the pictures and the end results were incredible. We are so happy to have these pictures to capture this special moment in our son’s life. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Maria’s talents.

My son was a little apprehensive about having a his senior photo taken professionally. He doesn’t like having his photo taken at all, so setting aside time specifically for this purpose wasn’t his idea of a great time. But the whole experience with was 100% positive, he was upbeat afterwards and said he had a great time with Maria! You can tell in the photos—Maria was able to capture him in a very relaxed state and he looks so happy. The photos are so beautiful! I highly recommend Maria!

Michael is reserved and dislikes having his picture taken, so I was nervous about how things would go having a professional photo shoot. I shouldn’t have worried! His photos turned out beautifully. He actually enjoyed the experience! We were provided with a large selection of photos with a variety of poses and backgrounds, some in black and white and some in color. Our biggest struggle during the whole experience was selecting our favorite images.
