INVESTMENT GUIDE
Did you know that Displaying photos in your home strengthens a person's confidence, AND provides a sense of connection & belonging?
&
Quality is not a luxury, it's my commitment
I fully understand how EMOTIONAL the senior year experience is for you. I have personally walked in your shoes. You just want to hold them tight, go through baby photos and freeze time, trust me, I get it. These photos are the legacy of who they are and how far they've come to get here, but it's not just about them, it's also about your journey as their parent.
What will you reach for once they've gone off to college? When my son was in college, I found myself picking up his senior album on our coffee table more often, and literally slowing down as I climbed the steps to stare at his confident smiling face framed and his beautiful eyes looking back at me.
I have your best interest at heart, so please trust me when I tell you that having beautiful images in your home of this joyful chapter of life, is not "too much, too extra, or not necessary". I know you want the digitals too, because they're convenient and this is the age we live in, but nothing comes close to a tangible print. Let me help you personalize the perfect collection for your family so these memories don't become just a 'swipe left' on social media.
Dear parents,
xo, Maria

Engagement sessions are the perfect time for a hair and makeup trial! Professionally done hair & makeup last longer than typical hair & makeup. They also tend to hold up better for humitiy and wind.
We think it’s so important that you look and feel your best for your engagement photos - and if you’re planning to do a hair & makeup trial anyways, the engagement session is a great time to test how your hair & makeup look on camera.

There will probably be times during your session when we’re shooting your hands holding or the engagement ring on your hand - which means it’s a good idea to clean up your nails before your session (this applies to the guys too!).

You can’t go wrong with a suit and tie. Consider pulling out that suit you had to wear last time you were a groomsmen!
Layer with a blazer and a fun tie - you can even wear jeans with this look.
Bowties are always a good idea.
Be careful not to choose a pattern that is too small - it may accidentally make your photo look a little too busy.
Softer, pastel colors tend to photograph better than bright colors - especially since bright colors could reflect on your skin.
Cozy sweaters layered over button ups are a great way to stay warm and stylish during the cooler months.

Although I am a firm believer in printing your images and creating beautiful photographs to hold in your hand and adorn your home, I also understand that you want your collection of images in digital format.
For years I have trusted my professional photo labs to print the best possible rendition of these artistic images on fine art papers, finishes and always retaining the tonalities and clarity I have intended. I am not able to guarantee preservation of print quality for images that are not printed through my professional services.

Summer
walks on the beach hand in hand
In spite of the heat, we’re big fans of summer sessions! Because of the later sunset, sessions sometimes begin as late as 6pm. If you’re taking your engagement photos during the summer, we recommend bringing extra makeup and a few towels to make sure you stay fresh throughout your session.
