I'm Maria! WIFE, MAMA, PHOTOGRAPHER, and FRIEND!

I am so grateful you are here.

I am Maria, a woman of faith, a wife, and a mama. I am a light chaser and lover of sunrises and sunsets with a love for home decor ( Keep me away from Home Goods or a Hobby Lobby!). A perfect day for me would be one where I am on the beach with my family worshipping the Lord as I watch the sunrise or sunset. Whether I have a cafecito, a cold brew or a Boba Tea in my hand depends on the day...why choose?!

My passion for photography started at a very young age, but my WHY has changed throughout the years. I was born in Bolivia and raised in Miami. It was through photography that our family shared our everyday moments with each other. We didn't have FACETIME or Whatsapp and I can honestly say while I love that we do now, I am happy we didn't then, because it taught me the value behind a photograph. The art and love behind an image is priceless.
Fast forward to today, I have a new reason for my WHY. Motherhood was a strong desire I had in my heart. I have had quite the journey and can relate with so many mamas. I gave birth to my first born Leo in 2021. I was blessed to have 2 amazing months in the NICU with my son before he went to heaven. Throughout this experience, my faith in God grew, I learned to trust His plans, I learned to LOVE harder, I learned to be fearless, I learned to live with grief, and I became stronger. 

I documented Leos story from birth until the last day we held him in our arms through photographs. Every tiny moment we had with Leo will be cherished for a lifetime. Im blessed to say God gave us our rainbow baby Luciano and Im so happy we have those photographs to tell him all about his strong baby brother in heaven. So when I tell you it's an honor to capture your everyday moments, your milestones, tell your story... I mean it with all my heart.

A happy heart makes the face cheerful
