Meet the Photographer

HI, I'M maria

MEXICAN ROOTS. GOTHIC HEART. ARTISTIC SOUL.

I'm endlessly curious about people and the stories they carry. Equal parts detail-obsessed and organized chaos. I'm a lifelong creative with a soft spot for nostalgia, and a heavy habit of finding meaning in the smallest things.

I'm drawn to anything with soul; old photographs, heartfelt music, family history, imperfect moments, and the kind of beauty you almost miss if you aren't paying attention. Maybe I've always known how quickly the things we love become the things we miss...


I'm here to photograph what it felt like to be here.

Your life is happening now.
Let's remember it well! <3


OFF THE CLOCK:

  • cat mom x2
  • concert addict
  • hazy ipa + coconut stout lover
  • thrift store treasure hunter
  • very loud laugher (think Lion King hyenas) (very sorry)
  • fcks with a good dive bar
  • mexican comfort food 4EVER
  • golden hour chaser til i dieee
  • probably crying at my emo playlist between 1-3pm

PHOTOGRAPHY IS MY WAY OF HONORING THE BEAUTY IN EVERY MOMENT

With over a decade behind the lens, I fuse documentary storytelling with editorial direction.

capturing both the spontaneous magic and the timeless portraits you’ll treasure.

Every session is alive with warmth, energy, and my unapologetic passion.

Whether I’m hyping you up, guiding you with precision, or turning up the music... 
my goal is to make you feel magnetic in front of the camera.
