about me

I picked up my first camera when I was 13, and I haven’t really put it down since. What started as curiosity turned into something much deeper- a way of seeing people, moments, and emotions in a way that feels honest and lasting.
I used to pair my photos with little pieces of poetry I’d write- small, quiet words that tried to hold the same feeling as the image. That love for storytelling never left. It’s still at the heart of everything I create.
I’m drawn to the in-between moments. The way someone looks at the people they love. The feeling you wish you could freeze and keep forever.
Whether I’m photographing a wedding, a newborn, or something as simple as a fleeting moment between people, I put all of my time, care, and intention into making sure your photos feel like you- something you can look back on and feel all over again.
More than anything, I just love creating photos that people feel something from. 

Mariah made my vision come true with the baby and family photos she took for us. I’m so thankful for her excellent work, patience, and creativity. The pictures will always be cherished. I can’t wait to use her for our future family photos.

Mariah is so creative in everything she does. She thinks outside the box and accepting of others voices. Such an artistic eye and a huge heart.

Mariah did my little sister’s senior photos and we seriously couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. She made the whole experience feel so comfortable and natural, which made such a difference in the photos. She was patient, creative, and really took her time to get the perfect shots. The final images are absolutely beautiful and captured her personality so well. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for photos!
