In every session, I aim to capture the authentic, unfiltered, YOU. Inclusivity is at the heart of my work. I strive to create an affirming and welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of your background, identity, or expression. Your comfort and confidence are paramount, and I am dedicated to ensuring that you feel seen, respected, and celebrated during our time together. You are invited to show up exactly as you are.

Once on location, we will chat a little more to help you get comfortable. I'll provide prompts to encourage real emotions (no awkward posing over here), we'll hang out and let the magic unfold naturally.
I'll provide you with outfit and location tips, as well as a timeline, so you can show up to your session confident, prepared, and ready to live in the moment.
After you reach out, we’ll chat so I can get to know your story and craft the experience around your vision. If we’re a good fit, we’ll save the date with a signed contract.

"Mariah is so amazing, she will make you feel so comfortable while staying professional. Her shoots will make you feel like you're just going to hang out with a friend and then BAM, you have amazing photos. It truly is her eye for detail, her creative aesthetic, and her ability to make you feel confident and beautiful that makes her one of the best and most special photographers I have worked with. She continues to grow and expand her knowledge which shows with every photoshoot she does. She is truly magical and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a photographer. She really can do it all. Overall, she's a badass boss babe and you will have a friend for life!"
Holly Holt
"It's almost too hard to put into words how awesome Mariah is and how comfortable she makes you feel during the entire process. It's truly nothing short of amazing!
She tells a story with every photo she takes from family portraits, creative concepts, and boudoir. I have been lucky enough to do all of those with her over the last four years. It is so special to have someone photograph so many important milestones in your life,"

"Mariah goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional content. She's able to deliver content that drives emotion and feelings and this helps us sell more gear :)"

"Mariah is absolutely amazing. Not only does she make you feel extremely comfortable, but she makes the entire photoshoot fun. We are in love with our photos and will always cherish them as Mariah captured our love perfectly. I have already booked her for future shoots and will always do so! I cannot say enough good things about her."
Willow Fraser
"I was hesitant to book a single photoshoot with my small family due to being uncomfortable in front of the cameras. Trying to get my kids to smile or stand still for a session seemed impossible. When we were gifted a giveaway session with Mariah, I was eager ( yet nervous) to capture my family professionally for the first time. She suggested bringing books, blankets, and toys so that we were simply interacting and enjoying ourselves as we would in any normal environment. She made us feel comfortable, natural, and relaxed. The result is a genuine and beautiful gallery that I'll cherish forever. I look forward to working with her in the future as our family grows."
FAQs
Frequently Asked
Every session I do is as unique as the individual who booked it, because of this, prices vary project to project.
My base prices can be found under my investment page, but I invite you to reach out so we can discuss your specific needs/wants and I can go into pricing in detail.
How much do you charge?
Absolutely. My goal is to provide anyone who wants them with lasting memories. Your financial circumstances shouldn't be an obstacle in your way from having your story documented. A $200 nonrefundable retainer is required to hold your date, and payments can be split up monthly until paid off.
*Sessions must be paid in full before shoot date
Do you accept payments?
I recommend reaching out a minimum of one month before your intended shoot date.
For weddings, big events, or large projects- I recommend reaching out a minimum of eight weeks in advance.
Keep in mind that Summer and Fall months are my busiest months of the year, often filling up months ahead of time.
How far out do i need to book?
The experience is just as important as the final images. From the moment we connect, to the final gallery delivery, my goal is to make the process enjoyable (dare I say fun?), collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs.
Whether you're an individual looking for a portrait to capture your essence, a couple looking for photos that allow your personalities to shine, or a brand seeking imagery to tell your story- I'm here to bring your vision to life.
