your family session is like my favorite recipe -
your family photography experience
it takes a pinch of planning, a dash of time, and a whole lotta love
Let’s do this together!
your family photography session should be about your memories & time spent together
I know we just met and all, but I hope you already feel like we’re old friends.
Because that’s what you deserve when you're finding someone to capture your most precious people.
Someone who is as invested in your story as the people in it are. A photographer who knows when to take charge to direct you guys or when to step back and let moments unfold. A fellow mother who values the little details of your kids' lives that you treasure so much. A newly postpartum mother who has been through the changes of a new baby and knows just how overwhelming it can feel. A friend who feels like a safe space.
I promise to thoughtfully capture your family's memories, but also to help you fully experience them.

If you want a great laugh, good vibes, and a comfortable experience while capturing your special moments, she’s your girl!!
Maura has always been my go to girl for photos. We’ve loved having her capture our family moments and I knew I would love having her as our engagement/wedding photographer. SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Our wedding photos are beautiful and it’s so nice to have these memories to look back on forever.
-Liz and Nate
Maura has taken MANY of our photos and every experience has been nothing short of amazing.
She has shot single photos of myself as well as my husband and I couple photos, engagement photos and she’s recently taking some of our most precious photos our gender/baby announcements and also we or first family session. She’s kind, caring, gentle and really makes your feel beautiful in front of the camera especially for someone like me who is extremely self conscious. Every time i receive a gallery from Maura, i am blow away at how every photo is amazing, i have to admit I cry every time. If you’re looking for a photographer who put hers clients First and will provide you with photos you can cherish forever, I HIGHLY recommend Maura!
- Masee and Noah
"Maura is fantastic! I have worked with her several times and plan on using her again."
Her photos are gorgeous and she makes you feel so comfortable/confident. I love that she sent us sneak peeks before she sent the full gallery. I ordered prints from her and got them very quickly. 10/10 recommend.

Photos - after absolutely everything - are the things that live on. After death, family changes, new beginnings and sweet times that have passed - all you've got to remember these moments by are pictures.
That's why I care so much about what I do - you and your story - these are not things I take lightly at ALL when someone chooses to invest into working with me. Sentimental moments deserve a tangible space in your lives and I truly want you guys to have the best experience.
Come as you are, whoever you are. Your kids aren't too loud or rambunctious for me. You are free to take up space here.
