All About Me, Maria.

In December 2023, we completed our family of six with our son. When I tell you that my children are my life, I mean it. Photography, thankfully, was put in my stars because I truly believe my greatest purpose in life is to break a cycle and raise my children with high priority for dream chasing, kindness and love so they can leave their mark on this world.

There is no "too big" for us. There is only "how do we get there?" When I was a little girl I dreamed up becoming a singer who played guitar and sang on stages. Though I didn't reach the big stages I envisioned - I did and still actively play, write and preform music on a small, enjoyable scale. Little did I know that the "album covers" I used to take of myself using the timer on my Coolpix camera was a little manifestation to the pure joy I would end up receiving as a photographer. Looking back, I have enjoyed my main craft for years.

My husband and I met when I was a single mother. My oldest, Aria, was 3 at the time. We had no idea that we were even friends on Facebook, let alone grew up in the same community and involved in the same 4-H group at one point in time. Due time, God placed him in my life. We waisted no time. I can't help but to laugh and smile when I say we were expecting Savannah very quickly. We were just madly in love.

Three became four and we hit a time of chaos in life. Photography hung steady for me as I adventured into educating myself deeper in marketing and social media management. With the bends and twist of life, my camera and clients stuck with me...something I am so grateful for.

Our most recent "extravaganza" has planted a desire for living a simpler lifestyle. We sold our white house on a hill for a humble cottage in the woods to be closer to the family farm and allow ourselves to enjoy more time...less materials.
