i’m maya — the gal behind the camera. my path into photography started in journalism, where i learned how to observe, anticipate, and tell stories as they unfold in real time. working in fast-paced, unpredictable environments taught me how to stay grounded under pressure, notice the details that matter, and capture moments honestly no second takes, no recreations.
As a documentary-style photographer, I take a calm, unobtrusive approach. I offer gentle guidance when needed, but I never force moments. This allows your story to unfold naturally, resulting in imagery that feels effortless and deeply personal.
My work blends a romantic aesthetic with a modern, cool-girl edge approachable, intentional, and never overly polished.
That foundation shapes everything i do today. i approach weddings and sessions with a documentary mindset and an editorial eye, focusing on emotion, movement, and connection rather than stiff posing or perfection. i know when to step in with guidance and when to step back and let the moment breathe.
Above all, i want you to feel comfortable, supported, and fully present. my goal is to create imagery that feels warm, timeless, and true — photos that don’t just show how it looked, but how it felt. outside of photography, i’m inspired by good light, my Kindle, and the beauty in everyday moments. i bring that same perspective into my work, creating imagery that feels warm, personal, and true to you.
