My approach to photography is all about capturing real, unposed moments.

Wedding & Family Photographer

Hi! I'm Maya, a wedding and family ​photographer based in San Diego, CA. I am so happy you are here! If you have not taken professional photos yet, don’t ​worry, I am the person to go to. I love helping ​people feel confident during a photo session and ​just have fun and be themselves. I’m so grateful ​that I can do what I love and connect with other ​people to show them all their beauty through my ​lens. I’ve met so many wonderful people and ​excited to meet you!

 

I focus just as much on how your experience feels as how your photos look. From the first conversation to the final gallery, my goal is for you to feel supported, relaxed, and fully present. That energy shows in your images — they don’t feel forced or overly posed, they feel natural, emotional, and true to you.

 

My goal is to create images that feel timeless — ones you’ll look back on years from now and still feel the love and warmth you shared in that moment.

Life is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.
