Our photo session was, in one word, MAGICAL. First off, Mayara is the sweetest person ever! We ran into some car troubles and were running late to our session and she was so patient and gracious and moved our session to accommodate us. Her personality is so warm, so it makes the interaction that much more enjoyable. She had surprise after surprise for us, which made the photos look more natural and candid. She delivered the photos so quickly and the hardest part is picking from the lot because almost every shot was just gorgeous. Thank you, Mayara for capturing this moment for us 🥹
We had the pleasure of working with Mayara for both our engagement and Christmas photo shoots, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! It was our first time having professional photos taken, and we were initially nervous. However, she made us feel completely at ease, guiding us through each pose with patience and care. The results were stunning – the photos captured every moment beautifully. We would absolutely recommend her to friends and definitely plan to work with her again in the future. Thank you for creating such wonderful memories for us!
We had a fantastic family photoshoot with Mayara! She effortlessly connected with each family member, capturing both posed and candid moments beautifully. Mayara managed to freeze genuine interactions that tell our family's story of love and togetherness. We highly recommend Mayara for her dedication to creating a memorable and enjoyable experience, resulting in photos we'll treasure forever.
I'm a Brazilian/American who went deep on my self awareness to find my passion.
In recent years, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing deep moments, healing old wounds, and understanding how my core values should be aligned with my purpose on my career.
This is reflected in my work, where I strive to capture the essence of each person in front of my lens.
Today, as your photographer, my commitment is to make you feel comfortable, valued, and connected to your memories.
My role isn't just to take photos, it's to make your memories last forever so when you see the photos you can relive that emotions again.
