Photography by Maria

I am loving photographing families lately. 🕊️ just seeing things in a new lens these days with us expecting our first baby. The littlest moments mean the most.

Hey friends + family! Just want to put this out there that I will have limited spots available to photograph your family needs. Make sure you are looking ahead for 2023 and getting those dates booked with me.

You can book online on my website:

I loved photographing Caylee for her pictures! Her family does a special tradition that when the girls turn 13, they are spoiled endlessly with a full day All About Her. From the hair, makeup, to the professional pictures, and a day filled with all her favorite things. Doesn't seem long ago I was photographing her older sister! Years really do go by fast. And I loved being able to be a small part of this family's traditions.

Caylee, you are gorgeous! ✨

I had such a sweet time with these special people today 💫🥰

Josiah + Ashley

They’ve been a part of our Young Adult group at church and their love is to be admired. Their desire to love and honor God is evident.
I have loved being a part of the young adults group together and can’t wait to see how God blesses this marriage - more than He already has these hours! You two are very loved!

I've been sick this past week. It's going around over here and I think we know it. It was super nice to not have any sessions planned this past weekend cause there was no way I would've been able to pull them off. Luckily I'm feeling better this week and back on adding more sessions to the page.

I always love and enjoy photographing the Stewarts. My first family that I took family pics for when I moved 4 years ago. And this year we took it back to the original spot. AMAZING how time flies and how much these kids have grown. Praying for many more years here in the PNW! ✨

I always seem to forget that I have a photography page for all of my work. But if it helps ME to feel any better, I've only posted a handful of times on my instagram in all of 2022. I guess it's all a part of being a part-time photographer now. I'm going to catch up and post some more recent work to show you guys what's been going on around here the past year. :)

First on queue: ⚡️The Avedeyevs ⚡️

I've always admired the Avedeyev family and their capacity to coordinate their outfits so perfectly. Everyone is so easy-going and full of energy. This fall season couldn't have looked any better on them!

I sent off a sneak peek gallery to my bride + groom from Saturday. 🤩

I haven’t shot a wedding in months. Saturday I started at 7:30am and got home at 10pm, that’s a FULL DAY!!

So thankful to have been this part to capture so many memories - what a privilege shooting weddings is. So rewarding!! Thank you Raelyn for trusting me! 🤎

It’s as close to summer as we can get in the PNW. Loved taking this large family’s portraits last week. The weather was beautiful and the rain held off long enough.

If you haven’t booked your session, you can do it online!

🪩Senior season🪩

Thankful for these cousins who booked me to capture their senior pics. Camryn flew in from the east coast just to do these! 🫣
I currently have 3 sessions on the cue for editing and 5 sessions booked through June! 😮‍💨🔥 excited for spring/summer season!

Book your sessions people. 🗣

It’s busy season for me. This time of year is always the craziest for me with my church having missions conference and Easter overlapping. I am trucking along 🛻 with my editing tho. It’s quite different now that I wear the “wife” hat 🤠 my editing time has shrunk significantly. But when I have pockets of time - I edit here and there. Thankful for everyone being so patient with me.

Enjoy these sweet pics of a family in the area.😭 their story is unmatched. They have chosen life and have chosen to adopt. This little girl, Charliegh, has THE best parents. Choosing to take the fostering journey is one I will admire.

Michaela + Jason + Charliegh ☀️
