Quietly observant and deeply intentional, I create space for real, unfiltered emotion to unfold. With gentle guidance and a calming presence, I help couples feel at ease so they can be fully themselves, confident, natural, and completely immersed in each moment as it’s captured

Hi, I'm Maya
Signature Offerings
Paige + Nick
There's one photo in particular of me hugging my Uncle right after the ceremony, who I'm very close with, but don't have many photos with. This will forever be framed in my heart. The pictures of me and Nick cutting the cake look like they belong in Vogue! Anyways, you need Maya as your wedding photographer. Besides marrying Nick, hiring Maya was the best decision I could have made for our wedding
"The moments she managed to capture will be treasured forever"
Dani+ Zach
She is so talented and listens to exactly what you want and then delivers your vision. Not to mention, she is easy going and chill, yet so efficient. She was such a pleasure and blessing to have as a photographer. I couldn’t recommend her more!
" My friends and family all said that she took the best wedding photos they had ever seen"
Jackie + Cory
She truly brought our vision to life and I can’t believe we get to have the pictures to look back on for the rest of our life! Not only is her work pure magic but she was always so professional, trustworthy, kind, and made us feel so at ease and comfortable during our engagement shoot and wedding day
"For two people who are shy around a camera she made shooting with her such an enjoyable experience"
