What would you do to go
back to a special memory?
It might be the one where you first met the love of your life and knew they were the one… Or the moment you saw your baby for the first time and heard their cry...
We would probably do almost anything to relive the best days of our lives once again and feel all of those overwhelmingly amazing emotions.
If there's one thing you need to know about me as your photographer, is that I’ll make sure your session is much more than just an ordinary photoshoot filled with forced poses and forced smiles.
I can help you create breathtaking pictures and save special moments into everlasting memories.
From the moment we begin, and through your memories, I’ll guide the session in a light and natural way, making you feel comfortable to be your true self while we capture every emotion authentically and sincerely.
Relive every detail, every smile, and every tear as if it were happening again during my photo sessions—and this time, capturing it forever.
During the session, I’ll guide you through stories and memories, like recalling the first time you saw that special person or the moment you knew your life would change forever.
All of this happens naturally and spontaneously, capturing photos that truly reflect who you are…
Just the genuine beauty of authentic emotions in the moment.
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 🥹
Found Mayara through Instagram and I am so glad I did! We experienced the holiday heartbeats session with her and loved it so much. She was quick to respond, very detailed and seeing the set up and getting some goodies after the session.. I was truly amazed. I’ve never experienced a photo shoot session that was so well thought out and intentional. The hardest part was going through the pictures and choosing the ones we liked because we liked so many of them. Thank you for a great experience Mayara!
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!
So thankful to have found Mayara to capture my family’s special moments! From the moment we met her for our pregnancy announcement she made us feel so excited and comfortable. Her energy is so caring, loving and amazing, it truly helps with the photoshoot sessions, especially for my shy 6 year old daughter. I just knew she had to do my maternity shoot as her shots are absolutely stunning! From planning the date to sending my inspo pics she’s made both of our photoshoots turn out just how I dreamed. Even my daughter was excited for her to be our photographer again as in her words “I like her mama, she’s really nice.” I recommend Mayara to everyone I get the chance and I look forward to the photoshoots to come of our growing family.
Our Christmas photo session with Mayara was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the experience was impeccable. Mayara provided a detailed styling guide that helped us feel prepared and coordinated, and she was always available to answer any questions we had. During the session, she was amazing with our kids, keeping them engaged and comfortable, which made everything so natural and enjoyable. It was much more than just taking photos – it was an opportunity to create beautiful family memories, all while having those moments captured forever. If you’re looking for someone who brings professionalism, warmth, and a wonderful approach with kids, I can’t recommend Mayara enough. Thank you for these cherished memories!

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.
I want to see the emotions in your eyes, watch you relive the moments that shaped your life, and then turn those memories into photos you'll cherish forever.
