Hi! I'm so glad you're here. Let me tell you a little bit about me.
Whether you're celebrating a new chapter, chasing. little ones through a field, or simply wanting to freeze this season of life, I'm truly honored you're considering me to tell your story. So let me introduce myself.
I suppose I go by many titles: wife, sister, daughter, nurse, but my favorite will always be Mom. I'm blessed with three beautiful daughters, including energetic twin girls who keep life exciting. My family is my light, my heart, my greatest joy, and the reason behind everything I do.
I am also a Registered Nurse, caring for patients in the hospital. So how did photography find its way into my life? Simply put-it found me. Photography isn't just something I do; it's my calling and my greatest creative passion.
There is something incredibly special about witnessing love through my lens. Whether it's an expecting mama embracing the journey into motherhood, newly engaged couples dreaming about forever, or families simply enjoying one another, these are the moments that fill my heart.
I love watching husbands and wives steal a kiss while their children giggle nearby, seeing a dad lift his oldest child into his arms even though they're "too big" now, or watching a family cuddle together in an open field without worrying about the distractions of everyday life. Because honestly... when was the last time you slowed down enough to do that?
Life moves so quickly. Children grow, seasons change, and the little moments we think we'll always remember often become the ones we wish we could relive.
That's where I come in.
While you laugh, play, cuddle, and simply love on the people who matter most, I’ll be quietly capturing those genuine moments—the ones that tell your story exactly as it is.
Because your story deserves to be remembered just as much as the ones written in storybooks. It would truly be my honor to preserve a small piece of it for you and your family.
When you're ready, let's talk!
Warmest,
Maricris

FAQ
What's in your camera bag?
I’m a Canon girl through and through! My current setup includes a Canon R6 Mark II, along with my favorite lenses: the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4, Canon 24-70 2.8mm, and the dreamy Canon 135mm, which creates those beautiful, creamy backgrounds I love. I believe great photos come from the person behind the camera—but having amazing gear certainly helps!
What's your style of editing?
My editing style is timeless and true to life. I want your photos to look just as beautiful 20 years from now as they do today, so I stay away from trendy filters that quickly go out of style. My goal is for your images to feel natural, authentic, and full of emotion.
How do I choose my photos?
After your session, I’ll create a beautifully curated proof gallery for you to browse. You’ll select your favorite images, and those are the ones I’ll meticulously hand-edit and perfect. If you can’t narrow it down (don’t worry—most families can’t!), you’ll have the option to add more images or purchase the full gallery.
How fast will I get my photos?
Within 72 hours, I’ll send you your proof gallery so you can start choosing your favorites. Once you’ve selected your images, I’ll begin the final hand-editing process. Your completed gallery is typically delivered within 3 weeks, although I often finish sooner.
How do you deliver the photos?
Your fully edited images will be delivered through a beautiful online gallery where you can download high-resolution images, share them with family and friends, and order professional-quality prints and artwork. If you decide you’d like more than your included images, you can purchase additional favorites directly from your gallery.
Do you use Photoshop to edit photos?
Yes—but naturally.
I remove temporary distractions like blemishes, acne, bruises, scratches, and minor distractions while keeping you looking like you. My goal is never to change who you are, but to help you look your absolute best while preserving all the little details that make you unique.
I'm nervous in front of the camera!
You’re not alone—I hear this almost every session!
The good news is that you don’t have to know how to pose. I’ll guide you every step of the way with simple prompts and natural movement so nothing feels awkward or forced. My sessions are relaxed, playful, and full of genuine connection. Before you know it, you’ll forget the camera is even there.
What should we wear?
Don’t worry—I’ve got you! Once you’re booked, I’ll send over my styling guide filled with tips on colors, outfits, and coordinating your family’s wardrobe. I’m also happy to help you choose outfits if you’re stuck!
