Hi Everyone!
My names Maria and I'm a photographer from Connecticut.
I've been working professionally for about 3 years now but have been in a relationship with my camera for as long as I can remember.
I am passionate about capturing love in an authentic and effortless sense. Documenting the story of my couples in a comfortable way is my number one goal for all of my clients!
I graduated from Western Connecticut State University, receiving my bachelors degree in professional writing. I am currently on track to receive my Master's in Fine Arts from WCSU in 2026.
Being a writer truly inspired my style of photography. My photos can have been romanticized as "filmy" and "authentic".
I specialize in documentary style and editorial photography. Candid moments are my simple bread and butter!
If you are interested in photos that showcase emotions and love, let's work together!
Over the past few years, I’ve worked with multiple media publications as both a writer and a photographer.
Currently, I am writing with the New Fairfield/Sherman Town Tribune. My column, "The Youngest of Us", is a personal lifestyle column from the point of view of a young woman navigating through life in her 20's.
Topics include relationships, travel and work-life balance-- Publishing in print bi-weekly.

One thing I am most passionate about in life is travel. I have been had opportunities to visit multiple countries and meet so many new people. Some of my favorite places I've visited are Florence, Paris, Portugal and Holland!
Experiencing new foods, spontaneous adventures and overall exploration is a true passion of mine.
Next abroad adventure--> Dublin, Ireland! (October 2024)
If you have an event and are in need of a destination/travel photographer, look no further!
