Hi there! I'm Maria, born in Ecuador, bilingual 100% and a pretty cool mom to two boys and an awesome wife to a super handsome french guy with whom I love dreaming, planning, traveling, eating and just living a full life! Sigh...
I am a very intentional and passionate artist, a creative, a dreamer and an adventurer! I specialize in natural light photography and will always chase a sunset! My goal is to craft a truly memorable experience for you and infuse you with confidence every single step of the way. In every session, I strive to create emotional imagery that tells YOUR STORY. I genuinely believe that you deserve to have photos that make you feel carefree and beautiful in any season of your life!
I began photographing using film 18 years ago and, if nothing else, film photography pushed me technically and taught me to be intentional; to wait for the moment; to breathe, and to truly think before capturing a instant and ultimately creating a photograph.

dreamer & adventurer
I am a dreamer, a nostalgic, and an adventurer… I also speak too loudly when I get excited, I cry when I laugh, I laugh while I talk, and I dance in the shower to latin music. I cannot - for the life of me- memorize complete lyrics to any song - ask my high-school friends! I just sing in the car and my kids make fun of me - I'm fine with that!
If there is one thing that truly fills my heart on any given day, it is looking through old family photographs. Whether I'm sifting through an old shoebox and holding a photo in my hand or turning the pages of an old battered album, what I see are family memories and stories retold over the years.
