Hey there, I’m Maria (She/Her)…
I'm a lover of all animals, plants and self-expression. I appreciate good company and conversation. I like to think my most impressive quality is my ability to not feel embarrassed in public, regardless of what I'm doing.
I see animals as people of their own. Each one possesses their habits and personality. Choosing their favourite foods, toys and places to sleep. Teaching humans how to love unconditionally and stay loyal to those they care for.
I became a photographer/videographer because it gives me the ability to change people's perspectives on things or places they may consider ordinary. It allows me to give a spotlight to subjects that wouldn’t normally be granted one.
Wholesome Intent
If you are anything like me then your phone is filled with countless pictures of animals. They could be your pets, animals at the zoo or a farm you visited. My question to you is; why shouldn’t these beautiful babies have their portraits taken? Why can't we frame these photos and have them on the mantelpiece at home? They do so much for us, they deserve a moment in the spotlight.
Be real with me here, when have you seen a picture of an animal and not smiled? You see them sitting there all dapper, you just know they’re living their best life. It tickles the smile out of the corners of your mouth, you can't help it.
My goal is to capture the essence of each and every animal I meet. I intend to have each image showcase them with dignity and respect.
What can I do for you?
Whether you have a business training or grooming animals, a farm you want to advertise or maybe you want to send your parents a holiday card of their favourite fur baby. Allow me to be your partner in designing your vision. Do you imagine an outdoor shoot? I’ll help scout for locations. Do you want your furry friends in costume or surrounded by props? Let me search for the perfect fit. I want your little (or big) creatures to look their best. Lastly, If you have a nervous pet I’d be more than willing to spend time with them before we start (It’ll probably be more of a treat for me).
