Photos should make you FEEL. They should take you back to that exact moment. The emotion behind your captured memories is what my purpose is.

LOVE NOTES FROM THE BEST PEOPLE

Maya was the MOST perfect photographer we could have hired for our wedding day. She is sweet, kind, and extremely professional, not to mention fantastic at what she does! Maya showed up early, was communicative before and after our wedding, and braved the 100 degree heat of Palm Springs like a champ when taking our photos!! We loved our engagement photos with here, and we love the preview we received THE DAY AFTER our wedding even more!! Maya captured the best day of our lives in such a beautiful way, we could not be more excited or thrilled to see the entire day. We highly recommend Maya for your wedding day photography. You will not regret it!

“Maya captured the best day of our lives in such a beautiful way"

I found Maya on instagram, while I was endlessly searching for a wedding photographer. I fell in love with her work instantly, so I had her take our engagement photos. They turned out better than we expected, along with the experience of being in front of the camera. She guided us the entire time; which made it so easy and fun. So there was no discussion on who was going to capture our wedding. She is so easy to talk to, she made the whole process enjoyable and lighthearted, she truly captured our playful love in every shot, and she was like a best friend that looked out for you. She is absolutely amazing at what she does!

LOVE NOTES FROM THE BEST PEOPLE

Not only did Maya do such an amazing job of capturing every moment we wanted for our engagement shoot and wedding, she was the most easy going and enjoyable photographer I have ever worked with. Maya is extremely reliable and very responsive. Her work is absolutely exceptional and moving forward I wouldn't hire anyone other than Maya to capture our special moments. I can't wait to put our wedding album together and look forward to working with Maya in the future!

“Where do I even begin?!"

We are very impressed with her work and her ability to make things look magical! Our wedding photos really look like they are from a magazine. We truly think that Maya has a gift for seeing the beauty in everything. Not only is she super talented, but she has an awesome personality (professional, yet super chill) and made us comfortable being photographed. Maya was so easy going and soft about giving directions. We really felt as if she was one of our friends at the wedding. We and our guests love the pictures! Thanks a bunch Maya!

THE SERVICES

WE’RE THE PERFECT FIT IF...

If you value true connection between your lover and the people who love you the most, we just might be the perfect fit. I’m all about capturing those genuine moments – the kind you can feel through a photo.

The genuine emotions captured matter the most to you

WE’RE THE PERFECT FIT IF...

You value the feelings that come flooding back when you look back on your best memories; the ones that can only come from a genuine interaction. It's not forced, or posed. It's simply just you and your loved ones.

You value being in the moment, not forcing a created moment

WE’RE THE PERFECT FIT IF...

Long after your day has passed, what you'll take away are the photos that capture the moments shared, words said, & emotions shown. If you place a high value on capturing these memories for future nostalgia, we're going to be great friends!

Want tangible moments to hold onto forever

STAY CONNECTED
