A family, maternity and newborn photographer based in South Jersey
A photographer, a mom, and someone who truly understands how fast time flies. From the moment my daughter was born, she became my muse, my inspiration, - my why. She made me realize just how much I wanted to hold onto every fleeting detail; the soft wisps of hair that frame her tiny face to the surprise of noticing two new teeth when she smiled. These little moments, so easily missed in the rush of everyday life, are the ones that matter most, because I know how quickly they change.
My love for photography grew from a deep desire to keep time from slipping away. Maybe it was the years spent moving from one country to another, leaving behind fragments of my own story, or maybe it was motherhood rewiring my heart to see the beauty in the smallest details. Either way, my camera became my creative outlet, a way to make memories tangible and ensure no precious detail is lost to time.
Having lived in six different countries from a very young age, I’ve learned to see the world through a lens of curiosity and connection. That perspective shapes how I document life - not just as images, but as stories that feel like home, familiar and nostalgic.
If my work resonates with you, then I would love to create something meaningful together. So Let’s connect and start planning your next session. I cannot wait to meet you and hear your story!
"Our newborn shoot was just as wonderful as the maternity shoot. Maria made sure we were comfortable with poses, props, and didn’t rush us at all, which is so kind when working with a newborn."
- Ewelina
"She truly made the entire process seamless - from the initial brainstorming to planning the itinerary, to helping select outfits. She made sure we were comfortable the entire time."
- Elizabeth
As a newly postpartum mom getting your picture taken isn’t high on the list of things you want to do, but Maria made me and my family feel so comfortable for our newborn session.
- Mariah
It was our first photoshoot ever, and we loved the experience! I was in pain, swollen and gave birth in May with preeclampsia and I look back at the photos and I look amazing.
- Laura
Before we even met her, Maria made the entire process feel personal and got to know us. Communication was always clear & transparent so we knew exactly what to expect every step of the way.

Working with Maria was the most positive experience! From planning, communication, to our shoot, Maria was prepared and SO SWEET with my toddler son.
- Brittni
Our experience with Maria was amazing. She stayed in contact and was so patient and understanding when my pregnancy didn’t go as planned. Maria puts her whole heart into her work and it really shows!

Trying to coordinate and photograph 3 little boys under the age of 3 is no easy task but she captured them and our whole family beautifully.
